I'm back . . . with some sketches!

Just got back from my little vacation with my family. I always bring drawing and painting stuff with my wherever I go. Even though there's not much time with a four year old and a 10 month old, I still managed to squeeze in a few sketches. All are graphite on cardstock paper except for the "Muhamawhat" which is prismacolor pens on cardstock and the condi sketch was sketched in photoshop and blocked in with photoshop as well.

Some cool news! I just found out that my Hillary/Obama painting was accepted in this years Society of Illustrators show in Los Angeles.

Hillary Goes Back to School!

Here's a new Hillary that I did this week for next week's issue of The Weekly Standard. Two and a half days on this painting. I had A LOT of fun working on this piece . . . . if you can't tell.

The Audacity of Hillary!

"Hillary Clinton might be the Dem's presidential front-runner, but the trip to the White House makes a stop in Obama Country. Can the hometown girl beat the state's favorite son on what's now his home turf?" - David Bernstein, Chicago Magazine.










I shared a sneak peak of this a few weeks back, it's now published, so I can go ahead and share the whole piece with everyone. It's always nice when you pick up a magazine that you did work for and the actual printing job is done well, this is one of those jobs. I was at the grocery store with my wife last night and I saw the new issue of Chicago Magazine, flipped through it and found my illustration, always a cool feeling to see your work on the stands. I hope I never loose that childlike feeling.

Anyways, I've as you can see attached the full image as well as cropped close-ups! Technically I probably shouldn't have given so much attention and detail to Hillary because of how small she is in the illustration, however I couldn't control myself. The sketch and photo reference was too good to not have more fun with!
