"The Prometheus Tree" on sale!

Friend and creative director Evan La Ruffa at IPaintMyMind.org asked me to contribute to his print series and left the subject matter completely open ended. I am used to being given assignments along with a story, so for this one I recalled a story that I heard on WNYC Radio lab. Read more about the story and purchase one of these prints here.

Grandmas Galore

The Cover (without text)

Opener

I got asked to do another cover story for Swerve Calagary. The issue was released just in time for mother's day. The story was about how the role of Grandma has changed. More Grandmothers want to travel or be more active in their community rather than dote on their grandchildren. One of my own grandmothers makes an appearance on the cover too!

A few Spots that I have forgotton about for ALIVE and OC weekly

NATO Protest

Here is the route of the NATO protest happening in Chicago.  For Time Out Chicago.

Foodie alphabet

A side project i've been working on. Here are some of my favorite letters closer up.

Captain Tom

I forgot I made this until I found it in a pile of papers this morning. I went to New Orleans a couple months ago and my friends and I went on a swamp tour guided by Captain Tom. He taught us about leeches, snakes, giant rats, vicious turtles and much more. He is the best tour guide ever. Listen to him and his fab N'awlins accent here.

OC Weekly and The Improper Bostonian

This one was for the OC Weekly. I was really excited when Laila Derakhshanian asked me to do something for this story because it was a more serious subject than what I have been getting for assignments lately. The story involves a cop who was abusing his wife and was able to get away with it for a long time because he asked other officers to look the other way. Read the story here.


This next one is for The Improper Bostonian. It was a really funny article about the different outrageous requests hotel guests have for the staff. Some of them were: Flying in a helicopter from Boston to New Jersey to get special yogurt, having an indoor lawn trimmed so that the guest's dog can go to the bathroom comfortably, and having a zoo keeper bring animals to the room for the guest's child. I also did a few spots for the rest of the hotel package.
