KETTLE ART – JAN 30TH

February 3rd, 2010

A huge thanks to everyone who came along and made Saturday at Kettle Art such an incredible night. There are a few more of my not so great photos to be found on flickr. Most credit goes to Giggle Party for turning the night into a massive party, not to mention the fact they made the the whole show happen and took the time to show me the sights and sounds (and tastes) of Dallas.

SHUT UP SHOP

American Economies
Another recent bit of editorial work. This time for World Finance magazine and an article, The Tale of Two American Economies, about a larger part of the economy made up by the small firms and self-employed workers that often go under the radar and are still in a deep and persistent downturn. Jobs that may be gone forever.

As soon as I get a chance some more of these World Finance illustrations will be appearing in the portfolio.

I’m curious to know how many credit crunch related illustrations I produced over 2009. I wonder if the Financial Crisis was worth it for me.

PERSON OF THE YEAR

December 15th, 2009

A copy of the YCN Annual battled its way through the Christmas post and made it to my door this week. A few illustrators were asked to contribute a portrait of their Person of the Year. Mine pretty much is the person of any year, not just 2009. Of course, I chose Sir David Attenborough and drew him in a typical pose with a panda in a headlock.
