I’m a little late to post this, but here is an illustration for the latest issue of The Manual. The essay that accompanies this piece is about drawing influence from the past to create something new. Not stealing but openly borrowing, ultimately arriving at a piece of work that carries the echo of its predecessor. Big thanks to Jez Burrows for the commission!
I recently got to make an illustration for Intel’s SciArt Series - a very awesome collaboration between artists and the scientific breakthroughs featured at ISEF (International Science and Engineering Fair). The project I was paired with focuses on monitoring debris flow from natural disasters. This is done through buried sensors that detect changing moisture levels in soil. And the sensors are composed of accessible and low-cost materials - recycled facial masks! You can read more about it here. Thanks to Mikell and Christopher at Noise for the great art direction.
New piece for the July/August issue of PLANADVISER, for an article about impending baby boomer retirement and the overwhelming flood of new products.
I made an illustration recently for the NY Times’ “Townies” series - this one was about trying to build a home in the city while bypassing the restrictions of debt, credit and building violations. You can read the article here.
Still working on this tumbling business. Here is a smattering of things:
I drew these little guys for the latest issue of aiCIO. The prompt was “Angry mob. Crowd ready to fight”.
I recently worked on a series of print ads called “Recycle Your Electronics”, sponsored by Ontario Electronic Stewardship. Thanks to the awesome folks at Juniper Park, who also took care of all the type and finishing touches, aka 80% of the ads.
Here’s a full-pager for Retail News, about the “new consumer” and their top shopping priorities - friendly service, mobile sites, etc.
Quickie for The NY Times’ Letters section: reactions to the idea of financing education through equity rather than debt. You can read the full article here.
This was for the latest migration-themed issue of GOOD Magazine. The article was about the current state of migration in the US, or lack thereof. Originally titled “The Migrant’s Manifesto”.
And finally, a spot of sad news. My cat has moved to California! For at least the next few months. I will miss him dearly.
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.
Newish piece for Plansponsor. Making things simpler through guidance.
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.
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!
