A couple more illustrations for the Times - two stories of varying intensity, both of which I could relate to.
The first one is for the Sunday Review section, questioning the need for oral contraceptive prescriptions. Article here.
The second is a rather depressing Op-Ed piece about China’s one-child policy. I had mixed feelings about the article, but was glad I got the opportunity to illustrate such a challenging topic.
Wiggly wobbly legs for The New Yorker.
Recent Letters piece for the NYT Op-Ed section, about the city’s plans to tear down the Brooklyn Heights library, and rebuild it on the ground floor of a new apartment tower.
Another one for The New Yorker, to accompany a very sweet and nostalgic piece about two old friends meeting by chance at The Strand bookstore. You can read the story here.
I have an illustration in the current issue of the New Yorker, for an article about the New York Philharmonic and its upcoming events.
I’ve been doing a lot of work with Etsy recently. Below are a few pieces for the gift card launch and holiday promos. There will be much, much more artwork to come, which I will be very excited to share throughout the year. Enormous thanks to Kim Bost, Randy Hunt, Jeremy Perez-Cruz and the rest of the amazing Etsy team.
Happy 2013! I’m taking advantage of this post-vacation pre-stress haze to put up some work from the end of the year. Below is a piece about jazz for The New Yorker.
I illustrated a song for Beck’s new Song Reader - a beautiful package of sheet music designed and published by McSweeney’s. Big thanks to Walter Green and Jordan Bass for including me in such an awesome group of artists. The album is unrecorded, inviting people to play and interpret the songs themselves. Here are a few examples!

Here’s a full-page for PlanSponsor’s Year in Review issue. Something about pension buyouts, maybe. Thanks again to SooJin Buzelli!
I’m also part of this year’s Sundance Film Festival A to Z book, designed by Todd Oldham Studio. Every artist had to illustrate a letter, which represented different films, actors/actresses, and directors. My letter was S - Secretary, Slacker, and Steven Soderbergh.
And lastly, a few holiday food friends I made to give away. Someone hire me to make more of these!
For the Boston Globe Op-Ed section - a daughter saying goodbye to her mother, by accepting her decision to stop treatment on her terminal illness.
Portrait of Shannon Eastin, the first female referee of the NFL, for BUST Magazine.
For Fast Company: 7-11 stores in Indonesia including outdoor seating, cafes, and live music to accommodate the interests of locals. As a result, it has become a popular pick-up spot.
Quick Letters piece for the NY Times, about a woman’s choice to freeze her eggs.
Even quicker Bloomberg View piece - Malala Yousafzai’s shooting and the current state of Pakistan.
And something a little lighter - a woodcut of cats! This was my half of an art swap (which also doubled as a going-away present) for my friend Alex Barrett. The inspiration came from this and this.
I made a spot for the latest issue of The New Yorker. Very straightforward blurb about the new LCT3 Claire Tow Theater at Lincoln Center, keeping prices low at $20 to maintain accessibility. Thanks to AD Jordan Awan for the commission. Drawing all these little attendees really helped me blast through my audiobook.
I made a poster for this year’s Penfield Croquet Ball! The original is a diorama, composed of wood, paper and ink. Thanks to the folks at Cramer-Krasselt for the call, and the amazing Sam Weber for helping me shoot the final piece.
