Good Times
The Times have been good to me. Got a call a couple weeks back from the estimable Sam Weber to do a spot for the NY Times OpEd about food choices. I had been a little sleep deprived, so some of my ideas may have been questionable... like the giant burger boxing the giant apple.
While I was in the middle of sketching that, I got a call from the LA Times Book Review. The review was about a cabbie who, after being barred from seeing his son by his ex-wife, writes a hate-filled book and buries it in her yard... only to have it resurface 500 years later and turned into a religion.

Realy nice job on the book review piece. Good composition.
I like a lot your ideas, how you put it all togheter.
It s good for me to see your process. Thanks for sharing. Pablo
i can hear the chanting all the way from new york.
i really like the sweaty guy playing with his food.
the book review is insane. i have never seen people engulfed in flames look so happy. real nice.
Talk about contrasting topics!
A little sleep deprivation can be a good thing.
Nice job on both illustrations.

the drawing of that guy biting his lower lip and sweating reminds me of earlier today
Great illos Nathan.
Is that me holding the book and is that you by my left buttock?
Hmm!?
aweosme!!
Great concept, I like the one on the 3rd sketch also, I think that one is pretty funny.
Dom - this piece was one of those rare occasions when the sketches and illustration came without too much struggle on my part. usually i'm gruelling away at composition for ages.
Pablo - thanks. the idea is always the most important (and toughest part) for me, so i'm really glad to hear that.
Ron - seriously, sweaty guys are one of the keys in illustration.
R - i'm set then. it's rare that i ever get a full night's rest, but usually that's my own fault.
Josh - i have no idea what you're referring to, and i don't really want to know.
Al - yes, that's me. i'm worshipping your left buttock.
Manuel - thanks. i could have probably gone even more over the top with the whole "ten commandments" thing.
