I’m excited to introduce Armchair Travels, an invitation to travel around the world through the reportage illustration of Studio 1482. We have gathered art from our travels to share with you in the hopes that, while you can’t get out and see these places (yet), our experiences may bring some happiness and light to your […]
I was given my first commission for The Guardian last week. The article titled Could Microsoft’s climate crisis ‘moonshot’ plan really work? was certainly a challenge to illustrate, but when the solution finally comes together it really is that much more fulfilling. Basically, Microsoft has pledged to go carbon negative by 2030, and this article […]
Last month I visited New Orleans and had a chance to spend two nights on Frenchman Street in the world famous French Quarter. Frenchman Street is famous for its eclectic mix of live music happening nightly, late into the night. Perfect for me to put the kids to bed and get out to experience the […]
An Inconvenient Time – The Story of Ruth Ravina is the story of a young child’s odyssey through three concentration camps and countless tragedies. Ruth Ravina’s story is one of survival and triumph. Back in 2017 I was asked to create art and some animated sequences to help tell Ruth’s story. I did not realize […]
Happy New Year!I apologize, it’s been a while since my last post. It’s been one of those times in an illustrator’s career where all of the projects you’re working on are confidential.

No, not his real name, as he told me with a smile. He’s a fantastic jazz organist that I happened upon on my last night in Kansas City last month. I took the show in from the front row and just enjoyed drawing. It had been a while since I had such a good seat, […]
I was asked again to illustrate a few fun spots for the “Skin Deep” section of the New York Times Style section. The first is about how to de-puff your eyes, the second on how to deal with frizzy hair and the third is simply a discussion of how to construct a summer face. I […]
I was asked to illustrate another piece about the explosion of violence in the California jail system. Rather than choose a specific incident to illustrate I decided to created an image to symbolize all of the victims. Below are the sketches I submitted. They appreciated the variety, and I appreciated that. I’ve included some process […]
Last week I was commissioned to create another series of illustrations for ProPublica, this time the topic was Carbon Credits. Carbon Credits are benefits awarded for projects that reduce pollution through forest preservation. To clarify here is what journalist Lisa Song has written “In case after case, I found that carbon credits hadn’t offset the […]
I was recently commissioned to create a series of illustrations about the crisis in the California jail system, specifically Fresno county. Overcrowding, gangs, violence and overall poor conditions have contributed to more than a few tragedies. And the outlook is not promising. The reporting is shocking and important so please have a read if you […]
