UTNE illustration

This is my latest published illustration. It was a great article on the music and culture of 1920s Iraq for the UTNE reader. It was nice to hear something different about this country, something positive. Beautiful things were possible in those beautiful times. Let’s hope there will be more to come soon. UTNE illustration

    I really love the way you use color so liberally and yet avoid muddiness!

    Hi Greg,

    I really like your work on urban sketchers, great blog as well.

    Its really interesting to see how you combine your observational style to an illustration format. Really insperational.
