007: bear vs bull
I just finished this for Barron’s Online for a package titled ‘007: The Year Ahead. You can almost imagine Richard Keil aka Jaws lurking in the background.
Drawing from Google Earth
Above is a watercolor-pencil drawing done in my sketchbook of the Brandberg Massif; a fascinating circular monolith located in eastern Namibia. This Middle-earth like place is known for its ancient rock paintings such as The White Lady, which according to wikipedia is located deep within the mountain. I discovered this place while skiming above Google Earth and have recently realized what a treasure trove of reference material is located within that program. Stay tuned for more from other Invisiblemen/Invisiblewomen.

Tired Tourists
I’d lightly drawn the figures in this drawing a few months back and just recently realized there was more work to be done. I like the idea that little is sacred and one should feel free to rework or cannabalize past efforts when the time comes.

Dudes on the F Train
Citizens reading or sleeping; thats what 75% of my sketchbook drawings are.
On another musical tip, the new Califone album is a damn fine piece of work. You can stream their new album “Roots & Crowns” here. Check the tunes like ‘3 Legged Animals’ and ‘The Orchids’… quality.
Night of the Chupacabra
As Halloween nears we must all be vigilant against the horrible, fang-laden Chupacabra. Watch the Chup’s 3rd cousin the Werewolf cavort in this video by TV on the Radio (and my favorite tune of the year so far).
Twelve Sketchbook Pages
Twelve recent pages from the sketchbook. Many of these drawings were culled from the subway as well as Tomkins Sq. Park. In non-illustrative news the new Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy album “The Letting Go” is really something… it comes highly recommended out the the InvisibleMan West Village Bureau.
Wall Street Journal Online illos
A collection of some of the recent economic forecast illustrations I’ve done for wsj.com – note the recurring housing theme.
