Economic Surgery

DR-Bernanke-Paulson.jpg
With the nervewracking state of the economy as of late, I was hesitant to go too overboard with this month’s WSJ Economic forecast. I’d already done the whirlpool of doom a few months ago, so it felt right to show Hank and Ben working to fix the dire situation. By the way, that’s the fed rate that Dr. Bernanke is about to snip.

Drawing of a Joel Shapiro sculpture

Multiple views of Joel Shaprio’s sculpture ‘Untitled’ drawn in the sketchbook and tweaked a bit in photoshop. I like the AT-AT Walker-like feel to the overall sketch.

Drawn in the sketchbook while enjoying the MOMA sculpture garden’s warm autumn weather. Lamentably I neglected to write down the sculptor’s name.

Lost, and Found

nyt_directions_500.jpg
This is an illo for The New York Times’ “The City” section. Eric Anthamatten’s essay is about the frequent and common disorientation than every New Yorker has felt when emerging from the subway, perhaps at an unfamiliar station, and not being able to situate themselves on the city grid. Art direction by Richard Weigand.

I’m tying the knot in May to my sweet Kristina and am in the midst of some designs for the invites and other assorted design elements. These trees were some tests.

Miami Herald: Furniture Stores Feel Foreclosure Pain

jk_miamiherald_furn_500.jpg
This illo ran in this week’s Miami Herald on the cover of the Business Monday section. Apparently the usually brisk furniture market in Miami has been hit by the spate of home foreclosures, and is reeling from the downturn.
I always enjoy cramming a variety of colorful objects across a page. Art direction by Chris Melchiondo.

Goth Cruise


The art director at the Riverfront Times (Sarah Norwood) gave me this assignment last week and the brief I was given was ‘goth cruise’. That was all the information I wanted to know. My favorite detail is that the fellow in the lower right corner appears to be wearing a Dracula-style cape. Click on the image for a larger view.
