Moleskin Subway Sketches

I’ve been keeping a small moleskin sketchbook in my pocket to augment my bigger, badder sketchbook. This group was sketched on the NYC subway in recent weeks.

NYC Pattern Illustration

This is second in a series of pattern-like illustrations I’ve been working on. This one is based on New York City. The first in the series was based off a ghost story.

The Pachyderm Has No Paddle

This was a quick Wall Street Journal Online illo for an economic forecast survey. Whether our intrepid donkey and doofus elephant are merely navigating some rapids or careening towards a deadly waterfall is the question I guess. I do like that the pachyderm has carelessly lost his paddle.

Your Vegas Poster

your_vegas_poster_500.jpg
This is a poster I did just last week for the band Your Vegas. They originally hail from Leeds, UK and recently settled in NYC. Universal Records (their label) sent them out for their first gig in L.A. this week. To commemorate the show, the sharp marketing folks at Uni (thanks Frank!) decided to commission a limited edition poster. I had a crazy busy schedule last week while working on this, as I had the only other music project that I have ever worked on underway (more on that soon!). All in all it was a fun frenzied project, and I had a blast with the silhouettes, using only the mighty lasso tool to draw the loose shapes. Anytime I get to go nuts with glowing lights and a dusky sky, counts as a fun project.
Some detail shots after the jump…

Jazz and Sketch at the Society of Illustrators

soc-of-illFG0108.jpg
It had been a while since my last figure drawing session and thus it was invigorating to draw and paint these images at the Society of Illustrator’s Jazz & Sketch this past tuesday. One fellow in front of me was drawing on butcher paper with charcoal and white pencil and I couldn’t believe how good he was… humbling.

The fellow on the right is an 89 year old illustrator who was also making some great sketches. I chatted with him briefly as we walked out and he told me how last winter he got a pair of the new fat ski’s and how they were really fast. He also lamented that he was just a bit too old to start snowboarding.

Birds

I just started drawing in pencil again, after only using ink for years. It was pretty fun, and I was interested to see how it changed my process.

I’ve been a posting slacker, everyone, I know! I’ve been holed up in my apartment being sick and working on drawings for a group show in Portland. More on that to follow!
