Combined a landscape photo with my automaton illustration to re-imagine a cover for a classic sci-fi collection of short stories by Isaac Asimov.

CD Cover Idea

This is no band I know of specifically. Just a good name for a band that does dark, electronic pop.

Mir Hossein Mousavi

This guy is running against incumbent Ahmadinejad for president of Iran. How many times is Mousavi going to find a severed camel head in his bed before this thing plays out?

Meanwhile, in Berlin...

It seems my caricatures of Khamenei and Ahmadinejad came in handy at an Iranian protest rally in Berlin. Definitely weird.

Check this out. Thanks to Harvey Scobie for the catch. See the originals here and here.

Charles Krauthammer is wonderfully succinct describing how the Obama administration is sitting the bench during Iran's tumultuous election fallout. Please read this excellent editorial

The Atlanta Journal Constitution got wind of my caricatures popping up in Berlin and decided they it would make a neat little item on page 2 of the paper. Scanning the article was a bit tricky but it's mostly legible. There were no stsunning details, just the facts of how Harvey Scobie brought the Reuters photo to my attention and how these things happen where images get co-opted for uses that generally come to a surprise to the artist. Candice Dyer did a fine job of getting across the oddness of it all. Special thanks go out to her for making this a fun little ride.

Now I'm thinking about the poster business....
