A few months ago I was contacted by Len Small over at Columbia Magazine. I always wanted to work with Len and this was a really fun collaboration. He had the idea of integrating actual photos into the illustrations, something I haven’t done in many years but I really liked the potential of doing something […]
I’ve worked for the Globe before but this was my first large book review illustration. This piece was really fun to do and as usual I learned about something new, the Federal Writer’s Project, a depression era creation of the WPA. Basically, all levels of writer were hired to document the country state by state. Amazing, […]
Last week I was asked to create an image to run alongside the introduction of the jury in the George Floyd murder trial. After quite a bit of discussion here is the illustration that was agreed upon to protect the anonymity of the people involved. Thank you to the Washington Post for the assignment.
Wine has always been a category for which I love creating art. Last June I was asked to create a new merlot label. It was a very focused project and one that I was very grateful for. It was one of the few projects that I worked on during the lockdown and it really helped […]
Happy New Year! On behalf of Studio 1482 I’d like to take this opportunity to thank every one of you that visited our site, liked our work, or just offered a note of support this year. It made a very difficult situation a little bit easier knowing you were there. Because we couldn’t physically mail […]
A few months back I was commissioned to create illustrations for the Walgreens Boots Alliance‘s 2018-19 Diversity & Inclusion Report. The title All Together. Different. Considering the current state of the world, it was a very timely commission. I’m often asked to create montages and this project was certainly no different. Five montage illustrations showing […]
I’ve been looking for more opportunities to create animated content and happily I received an email from the Washington Post asking for just such a thing 🙂 People are having difficulty, naturally, furnishing their homes during the pandemic. So we decided to show a room coming together piece by piece, hoping it all comes together. […]
A few years ago a close friend and colleague approached me with the opportunity to illustrate a book of short stories that he had written. Mario, the author and friend, is one of the most ambitious and impressive people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. If he proposes a project it WILL come […]
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 […]
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. In other words, you’re super busy but you can’t tell anyone. Luckily I can finally talk about one of them! So for my […]
