Fab Print Launch

I am selling prints through Fab Europe this week! The campaign launched today, and will last through Saturday, June 2nd. There are 21 pieces to choose from. Unfortunately for my American friends, these prints are only available to European countries. But here are a few images, including new work, old work, and re-worked recent work!

Big thanks to Nathalia Nogueira for the invitation to collaborate, and studiomate Alex Eben Meyer for taking screenshots, because I don’t know how a computer works.

Plansponsor March

Newish piece for Plansponsor. Making things simpler through guidance.

Print Magazine - New Visual Artists

I’m honored to be chosen as one of Print’s 20 Under 30 this year, as well as being featured alongside some really awesome talent. And best of all, the party tonight will be stocked with free booze. 6-9pm at the Phaidon store in Soho. See you there!

Teachers and Republicans

I’ve recently been getting more calls to do quick pieces, which is always a great balance of stress and satisfaction. Here’s one for today’s Bloomberg View, to accompany an article about how the Republican Party should proceed in trying to win over more women voters. Elephant + wig = conceptual. Thanks to AD Phil Lubliner and the guys at Other Means. 

And this is one for the NYT Op-Ed page, to accompany a first-person account of a teacher who received vague threats from a student, in the wake of the Ohio shooting. Great art direction from Matt Dorfman. 

Crime Scene Investigation

New piece for the latest issue of aiCIO. The original prompt was “Behavioral Intelligence”, but I had no idea what that meant, so we went with “Forensics” instead. Thanks, SooJin!

Friday!

Some little things.

Here’s a new Letters illustration for the NY Times, about nuclear power plants being a necessary source of electricity. I always cringe when I see words like “nuclear” and “healthcare” in an assignment, but this one worked out rather well. 

Really fun one for Ecomagination, about a nearly package-free grocery store opening up in Texas. 

Crazy digital cake pops for O Magazine. (Do people actually make these?) 

I just received these lovely cards from Urban Graphic, as part of their Toasted collection. This was part of an image I had made sometime last year - which worked surprisingly well cropped. Thanks to Aurelia Lange for having a good eye for pattern.

And in other news, I’ve been in a black hole of promotional-mailer-stuffing. If you are a fancy art director and would like to receive a newsprint promo so you can then hire me for an amazing job, email!

NYT Book Review

New piece for the NY Times Book Review section. The book is called “The Science of Yoga”, by William J. Broad, and you can read the review here. Thanks to AD Nicholas Blechman.

Interview: Your Dreams My Nightmares

Last night I had the pleasure of hanging out with and being interviewed by Sam Weber, for his WSVA radio show called Your Dreams My Nightmares. The podcast is now up - click here to listen to me talk about myself! 

HHMI, Sunday Review, BEER

This was my last assignment of 2011! For HHMI, on the topic of brain channels and how they control our food cravings. Thanks again to Tida Tep and VSA Partners.

Here’s an illustration for the NY Times’ Sunday Review section, to accompany an article about the current state of social inequality in America. Big thanks to Alexandra Zsigmond for the great art direction.

I designed a label for a limited edition craft beer called “The Chairman”, created in celebration of Lumpen Magazine’s 20th anniversary. The beer is an imperial red ale brewed by Half Acre Brewery in Chicago, and I will confirm its deliciousness as soon as the rest of the case arrives. Thanks to Michael Freimuth for pulling me into the project.

The whole series! From left to right: Me, Michael, and Michelle Villasenor.

Suburbs/Surgery

I have a piece in the Op-Ed/Letters section of today’s NY Times, about migration to and from cities and suburbs. You can read the online article here. Thanks to AD Devin Washburn.

Here’s an illustration for next month’s Cincinnati Magazine, about top doctors and joint replacement programs. Thanks to AD Megan Scherer - drawing a bunch of injured people turned out to be really enjoyable.
