The artwork for the cover of the new issue of UTNE Reader: Click for a closer look… The job was a caricature of Kim Kardashian representing our 24/7 narcissistic society. The art director wanted me to convey how even a casual stroll shopping for someone like her becomes a staged event, and how the public seem to be willing sheep in the process. Here is the final pencil sketch (done on a mock layout with dummy text) and final color art: Click for a closer look… Click for a closer look… I was the folks at UTNE’s choice to leave out any shadows on the… READ MORE

RG Entertainment and director Ray Griggs, who produced the film “I Want Your Money” (which I did some animation design work for) want your money. More accurately, they want your money in exchange for one of these limited edition maquettes made based on my design: I haven’t seen the actual statue yet, but the pictures look pretty good, I can definitely see my artwork in there. Here’s another angle: The maquette is hand painted and mounted on an actual 35MM film reel of the movie. Limited to only 250 pieces at $149.99. READ MORE

The brouhaha from Nov. 2008 concerning Apple’s rejection of the iPhone app “Bobble Rep” due to the heinous nature of my caricatures has long died down, but the app needed updating now that the 112th congress has convened. Thus, I had to do small disembodied caricatures of the new members of congress for the app’s bobblehead images… all 108 of them! Here are a few of my favorites: Steve Chabot- OH¬¨‚Ƭ¨‚Ƭ¨‚Ƭ¨‚Ƭ¨‚Ƭ¨‚Ć ¬¨‚Ć ¬¨‚Ć ¬¨‚Ć ¬¨‚Ć ¬¨‚Ƭ¨‚Ƭ¨‚Ƭ¨‚Ƭ¨‚Ƭ¨‚Ƭ¨‚Ƭ¨‚Ƭ¨‚Ƭ¨‚Ƭ¨‚Ƭ¨‚Ƭ¨‚Ƭ¨‚Ć Daniel Coats- IN Sean Duffy- WI ¬¨‚Ƭ¨‚Ƭ¨‚Ƭ¨‚Ƭ¨‚Ć ¬¨‚Ć ¬¨‚Ć ¬¨‚Ć ¬¨‚Ć ¬¨‚Ƭ¨‚Ƭ¨‚Ƭ¨‚Ƭ¨‚Ƭ¨‚Ƭ¨‚Ƭ¨‚Ƭ¨‚Ƭ¨‚Ƭ¨‚Ƭ¨‚Ƭ¨‚Ƭ¨‚Ć Alan Nunnelee- MS James Renacci- OH¬¨‚Ƭ¨‚Ƭ¨‚Ƭ¨‚Ƭ¨‚Ƭ¨‚Ć ¬¨‚Ć ¬¨‚Ć ¬¨‚Ć ¬¨‚Ć ¬¨‚Ƭ¨‚Ƭ¨‚Ƭ¨‚Ƭ¨‚Ƭ¨‚Ƭ¨‚Ƭ¨‚Ƭ¨‚Ƭ¨‚Ƭ¨‚Ƭ¨‚Ƭ¨‚Ƭ¨‚Ć Frederica Wilson- FL The new and… READ MORE

Scrippsnetworks ©2011 Television Food Network, G.P. All rights reserved The folks at the Food Network gave me the okay to share this piece I did for them of FN stars Rachel Ray and Guy Fieri. To be honest I am not 100% sure what the purpose of it was, but I know it was not for print or broadcast. I believe it was supposed to be for some internal promo or something similar. The assignment was to do a simple caricature of Rachel and Guy in a “Dancing with the Stars” pose with a simple background. READ MORE

Click for a closer look… There are a lot of magazines I’d really like to do work for, but high on that list has always been Sports Illustrated Kids. I was therefore thrilled when I got a call from SI Kid’s art director asking if I was available to do a piece for them. The project was a two page spread featuring caricatures of several pro athletes engaging in the jobs they were quoted as saying they’d like to have if they weren’t professional athletes. The result is the image above, which appears in the March 2011 issue on news stands now. Here’s one of… READ MORE

This is my cover illustration for Reason magazine’s March 2011 issue featuring California’s new (well, technically his third term but his last two were from 1975-1983) Jerry Brown. The above is the original cover with the state labels but the magazine’s editors decide we needed to drop the labels for the printed version. The article it was accompanying was about how California was separating itself from the surrounding west states politically. Here are some of the rough concept pencils for the job… all variations on the same basic scene which was agreed on earlier: The folks at Reason were fun to work with. READ MORE
