I spent some time watching tennis yesterday and I did a few drawings from the screen. It’s a great way to practice when you don’t have a model. Here is one I was particularly happy with.
Below is an illustration I recently completed for the Canadian Pension & Benefits Institute. It was a challenging piece as the subject matter was quite complex and relatively unfamiliar to me, BUT I enjoy the challenging pieces best. I love to learn when I work. For this piece, I was asked to illustrate the history of the pension and benefits industry in Canada.
Fellow Studio 1482 members Michele Bedigian, Despina Georgiadis and Dominick Santise and I have been working collectively on a series of prints and promotions titled Seasons of 1482.

It was great to work again with AD Kevin Goodbar, and I love what he did with the layout and type.
The Communication Arts Illustration Annual is out. I received my copy yesterday and as I reported a few months ago, my reportage series on Times Square has been recognized. I’ve always felt that CA is one of the best publications for illustrators as well as the entire creative industry and it is an honor to be included. Here is a scan of the spread, pick up your copy today, there is some great work in there!
