Chefs, Teenage Angst and Peeps

by josh

**NOTE**
I was reminded to post these links after seeing Andrew featured on Drawn!
Some extremely talented people to go see:

Adrian Johnson
Graham Romieu
Edwin Ushiro
Gabi Beltrán
Andrew Beckmeyer
Phillip Fivel Nessen and Maxwell Holyoke-Hirsch

I'm posting 2 things because I've been lagging on the updates. This first one is a rush job for American Airlines magazine. Just a feature on 9 different world chefs. I found a lot of great reference on this while I was researching for the job.









This illustration is for the Walrus in Toronto. The title of this feature story is, "A Teenage Mind" I was given a vector icon of a child's head and told to integrate it with the piece somehow. I think in retrospect I could have gone way more chaotic with this assignment but I thought an interesting point in the article was about how the brain develops, in crucial stages even up to age 25 and beyond. A lot of the crazy behavior of children can be linked to a slow development of "gray matter".

Thanks for the comments! I initially had something else up but chickened out at the last minute. Manuel, I only use brushes but I think sometimes textures accidentally get integrated from my line drawing.
