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".

Scribble

Back when we were in school, Josh used to laugh at how indeciferable my personal sketches were. Well, laugh now you bastard! Take a look at these beautiful babies!


Those scribbles were for this piece, which I did for Esquire Russia.

Yes, that's a naked inebriated Russian guy with a black eye wearing only socks. I draw what I'm told to draw.

Sorry, I don't have L.A. thug photos to share, but I do have a nice picture I took while roaming in Japan. Everything is just so cute there.


Ahem.
