This past Friday was Mascot Studio's 11th Annual Dog Show. Peter, my framer, runs this unique little frame/gift shop in my neighborhood, the East Village, NYC. I've participated for the last few years and this year the exhibit featured some familiar artists including Katherine Streeter, Marcellus Hall, Ellen Weinstein, Richard Goldberg, Tony Freda and Aaron Meshon. Thanks to all who came out on opening night. It was very cozy due to the maximum limit of about 7 people at a time!

I had planned on doing a bunch of these fun dog portraits of my friends' dogs but I only got to my dog, Sota, and the Cochran's dog, Porkchop.

One of my favorite editorial jobs is illustrating the Rolling Stone (music) Reviews section. This one was for the band Spoon and their new album Transference in this week's issue. Coincidentally, I'm a big fan of Spoon and lead singer Britt Daniels' southern mix of Rock, Punk and Indie music. Big thanks to the AD - Steven Charney!

Here is a trio of paintings that I finished up recently.

"Hindsight" was for The Year in Review issue in PLANSPONSOR Magazine.

This happy bear was for the "Best of" issue in PLANADVISER magazine. The article hightlighted their favorite recordkeepers and investment managers of 09.

This piece was for ai5000 for an article about dark pools. The initial direction was to have something beautiful coming out of a dark pool. I soon found out that "dark pools" are an actual financial trading term. "While their name is ominous and their operations complex, dark pool systems have been one of the financial industry's more useful developments in the last 20 years".

Last week I got a call from the New York Times to illustrate their special Holiday edition for today's Styles section. They needed 6 illustrations for a collection of stories about "Holiday Lies" told by an amazing collection of writers. It was a marathon of non-stop painting this week. Six paintings in a week were more then I can usually handle but I just couldn't turn this one down, especially for a section cover of the New York Times. Special thanks to the art director, Corinne Myller. Happy Holidays all!
