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 […]

Here is an illustration that ran in the Wall Street Journal last Saturday. The illustration accompanied a short piece about the new Bose Frames Audio Sunglasses. Had fun doing this one. I posted the sketches below too.
I attended my first American Illustration party last Thursday. This is also my first time chosen to appear in the American Illustration Book that will be distributed later this year, American Illustration 37.

The 4 […]

Here is my latest illustration for the Style section of the New York Times. I was asked to illustrate gender inequality in the fashion industry. I had a few sketch options which I think worked but I’m really happy with the “slanted runway” concept that was chosen. Many thanks to AD Bernadette and the NYT for […]

It’s hard to say whether I enjoyed this assignment or found it a painful reminder of the senselessness that happens sometimes in the world. I recommend any visitors to my blog to read it here. Thank you to Jason at the Washington Post […]
