Super Bowl XLII
Which is worse....a preening Bostonian or an obnoxios New Yorker? Guess what? You get BOTH tomorrow!
Not a huge Giants fan as much as I'm a fan of historic upsets. I like the Giants over the Pats 27-24
UPDATE: Eli Manning MVP. Last two minutes was CLASSIC!

Restaurant Mural Idea
Greece being the core of Italian culture, I think it would be fun to do a mural of Greek gods sitting down to an Italian feast using Da Vinci's "Last Supper" as a template. Zeus, Hera, Athena, Mercury, Apollo, Aphrodite and the rest of the crew would definitely be in attendance.

True Grit
Of all the Republican candidates, John McCain seems to be one tough son of a gun. And it looks like he's on his way to facing the Democratic nominee for leader of the free world.

Figure Study
This is a little 8' x 8' graphite and pastel study for an idea where the central theme was coastal rock formations. I like the idea of contrasting huge, unforgiving monoliths with the softer organic shapes of the human figure.

Esther Cover
This is the final art I submitted to the publisher. You may remember the color rough I did a few weeks back (January 10th post). The differences are interesting I think.

The art director and I decided to tweak the cover illustration. Thank goodness I beat the deadline by a few days so I could have a chance at making changes.

Wine Label Design: Part 1
I've been commissioned to illustrate a wine label for a tiny private vineyard in California. I'll add an appropriate visual with it later on, but for now, I wanted to establish the look and feel for the project by nailing the Dark Horse logo first.

Illustration Gig
This the work I did for Allen Forkum's Automotive Report this month. It was kind of tricky NOT making these people resemble a celebrity.

Wine Label Illustration: Part 2
I sent along three illustrations to the vineyard owner and this is the one he chose. I love how these projects pop up out of the most unexpected places.
There Will be Oscars
Paul Thomas Anderson's "There Will Be Blood" features this years's best (STUNNING, I say) acting performance by Daniel Day-Lewis. Watch this film and try not to be awed by the complete immersion of an actor into his craft. I dare ya.....
