In Print...

Happy to find out this week that a few of my works were chosen for two separate "Cube" books ( Illustration2, and Poster Design2) by the German publishing house Zeixs.  Above is one of the images picked for the illustration book.

A Toast to a Legend...

 A.M. Cassandre was a genius whose work has been an inspiration for many contemporary artists and illustrators, including myself.  More sketches here.

Window Shopping...

Boutiques published in 1936 was a beautiful french book featuring a variety of deco storefront illustrations, as well as some photographs of store interiors. Although it's old and rare you don't need to put on white gloves to leaf through the book here.

Ciuffo Cattivo...

My Bad Hair series gets a nice shout out from the Italian blog Think Big Chief.

Lost Colony...

I didn't realize Colony Records was still open until I saw this article which ironically discusses its plans to close. I used to passed by it all the time when I lived in New York (usually on my way to the NY Times).  Although I can't remember what album I bought, I did shop there at least once and saved the paper bag (above) because of the out of date, but great logo graphics that they were still using.

Plundering the Past...

Vintage art ( especially art deco and 50's modern)  has always been an inspiration for me. The book Modern Vintage Illustration which is being published next week by Anova Press focuses on contemporary illustrations with a 'retro edge'- including a few 'retro contemporary' works of mine. Two of those are posted above.

Still Bad...

Tuned In...

Some of my older airbrush work. These were a series of  die-cut 'postcards' for a radio station in Charlotte, NC. There were also 2 posters that I did for them as part of this same anniversary celebration project.

Romanian Pulp...

Bar Hounds...

Dog breeds are matched with mixed drinks on these quirky cocktail napkins from the 1950's illustrated by Constance Depler.
Thanks Liz!
