Everyone's a critic.
Right before Thanksgiving, I was asked to do some illustrations for Time Out NY's "Critics" issue. Being something of a judgmental, critical snob myself (ask anyone who knows me), I was more than happy to accept the job. There wasn't a lot of time to crank the illustrations out with the holidays and all, but I figured the stash of Red Bulls in the studio would remedy that. Here are a few that I liked:
Rock Critic.


Book Critic.


Dance Critic.


Food Critic.

Film Critic.

These rock! I'm learning so much from you guys...thanks for showing the process - sketches and all.

nathan i love what i see!!
excellent concepts , love the book critic .
OMG that food critic one is amazing!
Tonci - The food critic's my favorite too, even though it's just a tiny spot. It has the most character of the bunch.
Albert - I was watching "The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly" when I was working on this, so it just naturally became a western. The original idea was to make it film noir like "The Third Man" or something.
Adi - Thanks! I'm glad you can get past my horrendous sketches.
Lyfe - Double the love. Give me more comments so I'll look popular.
Dominic - The idea for the book critic was actually taken from an old sketchbook image, which I probably should have posted.
Chris - Thanks, Chris!
*This was Nathan's work in this post right?..
If so, great drawings man ;) I partularly like the rock critic. She looks like she knows her stuff.. (*but doesnt quite know if this is a future band or not)

thanks for all the comments everyone!
btw, josh doesn't want me to say where the real inspiration for the crying emo kids came from.

i don't understand this george comment.
This is excellent
Seeing these printed out in your book yesterday was awesome.
Your work looks far better in print than online.
Good luck at all your interviews next week!
