Cover for New York Observer

Cover I painted this week for the New York Observer. I spent a day and a half on this one, started Monday morning and finished mid-day Tuesday. I decided to keep it more painterly which I like but had to do because of my time frame . . . and for the background I chose to simplify and suggest.

This one was fun!





Here's a pic my friend Fred Harper took of the paper, somewhere in New York. Thanks Fred!

The Black Keys - Communication Arts!

Just found out that my painting of The Black Keys was selected to be in the Illustration Annual 53, the May/June 2012 issue of Communication Arts.
