I will be participating in the Needham Open Studios on May 2nd and May 3rd in Needham, MA. I will have prints, original work, and CatNotes for sale.

I will be showing at location #17, 93 Garden Street, with two other great artists: Anne Tochka (illustration, paintings and soft sculptures) and Susan Anderson (functional ceramics and sculpture).

Baltimore Magazine

This is a spot I did for Baltimore Magazine in their March 2009 issue for an article called "Could Katrina Happen to Us?" The article was about how Baltimore, as a costal city, might be vulnerable to similar devastation to what happened in New Orleans with hurricane Katrina, and how the city is taking precautions now to make sure that doesn't happen.
I got to do a kind of funky organic shape for this one, which was kind of fun.

New quick drawing from today

I sat down at my drafting table this morning and started doing some little studies of feathers and it turned into this drawing. I thought about adding color but I am leaving it as a simple black and white ink drawing for now.

SILA Show opens next Saturday

The Society of Illustrators Los Angeles Illustration West 47 Show opens next Saturday at Gallery Nucleus. As I have previously blogged, I have a drawing in the show. If you happen to be in the area you should check it out. If I weren't on the opposite coast I'd be there for sure!

Work in Progress

Last week I finished up some work for a couple publications in Canada that will be out in the spring. Since then, I have started on a very detailed personal piece, which is something I haven't done in a while. Here is a detail of the drawing in progress.

....Many many tiny little trees.

When in doubt, draw some birds.

Here is a personal piece I just finished up today. Just some birds carrying stars over Brooklyn...

Honolulu Magazine

I guess the thing about having a blog is that you have to remember to update it once in a while.

There are a bunch of new illustrations I've finished and I am waiting for them to be published before I post them here. In the meantime, here is a tearsheet from Honolulu Magazine back in December. It was for an article about a five person family living with one car.
