Different Points of View...









The Center for Land Use Interpretation could be my new favorite site. Going through their archives of quirky, off the beaten path images swallowed up a big chunk of my morning. Take a look.

Road Trip...





Score 240 miles and win the game! The great graphics on this card game made it an easy flea market purchase a few years ago.

Pack It Up...

Cover illustration I recently did for the N.Y. Times Escapes section. The article had to do with planning and packing (without leaving things behind) for family ski trips. You can view the story and the cropped online version of the art here.

Condition: Very Good, some creasing...

A different sort of travel poster. In this latest Bad vamp illustration, 'Los Angeles', I played around with using some of the defects that you sometimes find in mass produced printing, including: off registration, dot patterns, bad cropping, color overlap etc. I also incorporated more of those great worn effects (creases, folds, chips, sun fading etc) that often add character to the vintage paperbacks and posters that the Bad Vamp series is partially inspired by.

Pixels on the Track...

This is a fun project I did last month for an IBM publication. It was a cover and inside illustration with a transportation/travel theme - which I always like. The story had to do with servers, 'storage engines' and open source applications, with names like SugarCRM and Joomla. I tried to style the train to be a cross between a freight train and a more streamlined passenger train. The inside piece featured the train pulling boxcars featuring made-up product logos that symbolizing the different open source applications.
Some of the other train images I've done include a poster for Air France and a logo for Jim Jarmusch's Mystery Train, which if you watch the movie to the very end you can briefly see after the credits roll. : )
