TS Eliot for The Guardian

Here's the perfect way to start a year; a commission from my favorite publication for my favorite poet! It simply doesn't get any better than this...

Illustration Age Magazine

I got an email today from a nice fellow in Amsterdam who had seen a write-up about me in Illustration Age, and it reminded me of what a great resource this site is!

WORLD CUP FEVER!!! oh the passion, the theater, the flopping and vampirism. Here are some of my favorite blokes to watch this year:

Wonderful World of Food Packaging

I had the (relatively new) pleasure of seeing my work twice in the realm of food packaging today!

The first came when my wonderful new client in Saudi Arabia (@Leo Burnett - Jeddah) sent me a photo of the packaging we worked on together earlier this year:

In this illustration there is a continual line connecting the mother, through a bowl of (delicious looking) food to the rest of the family. I love these continual-line projects; I make them into puzzles, and do not let myself cheat!

The second food packaging find: this collection while walking the dog. Nearly every piece in the Wendy's collection is here, including the embossed napkin!

Winky & Puffy

I am bringing my portraits to life!

Because if the future of imageery will be digital, might as well make them wink...

Adorable Evening Standard Contributors

A couple of years ago, Ben Brannan found me to create portraits for The Evening Standard's contributors. Every once in a while I get to create anorther one, and I have to say they are among my favorites: they are all such adorable folks

Attention America! Attention World!

My first, overly-excited commercial is now viewable!

Listen to this Frenchman go on and on

The Ever-Lovely Mayor of Toronto

This may be my favorite assignment of 2013 (click to link):

Owls!

Owls are in the air, so to speak...
This year I've had two lovely owl-themed commissions. The first was for a logo for "Little Owl Urns". She needed a logo to imprint on the bottoms of the ceramic and wooden urns she creates for beloved pets.

The second commission is for the wine merchant Rookwood & Perry in the Hudson Valley. I'm not sure why the owl connection, but oh man I enjoyed drawing it!

Wendy's "Hidden Message"

I have been receiving links to this all day, re: the hidden message of "MOM" in Wendy's collar. Ha! My mom actually detected this way back when it was unveiled, and I did not disabuse her of the notion. But no, it was not intended. My work is so calligraphic, I expect it is full of unintended messages like this one.
