Einstein?

In light of Roger Black's comment at ICON 6 about stock illustration and the fact that there are "no new photos of Albert Einstein," I thought it might be pertinent to host a new gallery here at the Drawg.
If anyone is so inclined, please send along images to a new Albert Einstein gallery show. Here's mine, a book cover I did a few years back. Kaboom

I made this painting for the upcoming Picture Mechanics group show in Los Angeles at La Luz. Painted in gouache on Arches printmaker's paper, I named it Kaboom after the breakfast "vitamin & iron" cereal I liked as a kid (when I could convince my mother to buy it instead of the more healthy stuff). Actually, it's called Kaboom 2 because it was the second version of this composition I did. Now the whole Pix Mex show got named Kaboom. It's a good word.
The Facebook Problem

Sign up now! We'll just need a little required information first, but in no time you'll be sharing your life with all of your loved ones. And of course, some less than loved ones as well. And, frankly, some unloved ones. Of course, the advertisers win out. But that's ok; it's now a free economy, and that means whatever they're advertising to us is free also, right? Woopee!! We're all free at last! And then there is the whole identity theft thing...not to mention this creepy Singularity movement...hmmm...good luck to us all on that one...
An image painted for Ronn Campisi, who always picks my favorite sketch and then proceeds to make a lovely design with it. Thanks Ronn. Below, the interior piece. Basically, the cloud is made from terms that represent people's least revealed online information. The larger the font size, the more people want to protect the information. Good thing the lil' feller has an umbrella, he'll likely be needing it.
For any students out there, my process went something like this.
Back to Ronn, and a new version of his original song, "Bright Lit Blue Skies," which he wrote, sang and played bass with The Rockin Ramrods - recently recorded by the young upcoming band Ariel Pink. Here's the video. As you'll hear, Ronn can write a bitchin melody and a killer song. An art director who truly ROCKS!
