DINOSAUR[S]!

posted: August 17, 2010

It might be a little late to try to save the Dinosaurs but if we try to cut back on our reliance on fossil fuels even just a little bit it might help save what’s left of them. Better than blowing them out your tail pipe! Somehow I got the Dinosaur drawing bug and some even turned out pretty good. All drawings: Berol Prisma Color on Moleskine sketch paper [8X5]. Been watching a whole bunch of Bert I. Gordon films too, just like back in the day… Bert I.

ALL DRAWINGS MADE BY HAND IN 2010

Katrina: Five Years Later

posted: July 26, 2010

Here are a few items that I did recently for New Orleans Magazine. AD Eric Gernhauser. They were for a special issue devoted to the fifth anniversary of hurricane Katrina. This particular piece, Covering Katrina, was written by veteran Times-Picayune writer Coleman Warner who talks about his experiences surrounding the disaster. These are done in the digital/manual sketch style that I've been developing. I'm always a bit unsure how these will turn out but I know one thing for sure, I really enjoy making them! Hope you can enjoy looking at them.

Summer Fun: The Los Angeles Times Book Review!

posted: June 29, 2010

Always glad to get a call from the Times. It makes me feel more Californian or something, besides, I LOVE WORKING FOR NEWSPAPERS! This was for Judith Pryor in the Book Review section and tells the story of a guy named Gary Lynch who studies memory at UC Irvine. I got the call while in Big Sur for my birthday [had to use the free wifi at the Henry Miller Library, a literary sanctuary tucked in among the giant redwoods]. I read the text and dictated solutions to Nancy as I drove home. I literally had only 1 hour to sketch after getting home [in order to make the deadline]. Life's big thrills! Summer's here!
