Quick Turnarounds

Congratulations to Josh for picking up a silver medal from the Society of Illustrators last night! Anyone in the New York area should go by the Society to check out the Sequential/series show, it's pretty awesome.

I had two quick-turnaround assignments keeping me busy last week. The first assignment was seven illustrations for Nick Rhodes at Radar Magazine about prank phone calling military recruiters. You can view the full articles here.


Here are my working sketch and final inks that lead to this illustration.

In addition to deciding on a unifying color scheme for all the illustrations, one of the first things I did was to draw my version of the camoflauge in use by American soldiers in Iraq. The same pattern is used in all the pieces in the series.

Some of my favorite pieces didn't run, such as the one below, but you can see them on my updated website.

At the end of the week I got a call from Lou Vega at ESPN magazine for a small piece about Chinese basketball players. You can see the changes made from my initial sketch to final piece. It's scheduled to run in next month's issue.

Thanks for viewing!
