Art For The Living Room
I enjoy 'shopping a small watercolor study and blowing it up to fit a large space. It's interesting to me how simply sizing a piece way up reveals an emotional depth the smaller piece (4" x 6") can't approach.

Illustration Gig
I was recently commissioned to do this illustration for Andrew Ian Dodge's up-coming techno-thriller. This is a follow-up to his previous novel, "And Glory".

George Steinbrenner (1930-2010)
Renowned firer of managers and one of the titans of American League ownership, Steinbrenner took the flagging Yankee legacy of the 70's and personally ushered in the Age of Ginormous Contracts. With 7 World Series titles to his credit, Steinbrenner's tenure in The National Pastime will always cast a large shadow on the business of professional baseball.
And from the man himself:
"Don't talk to me about aesthetics or tradition. Talk to me about what sells and what's good right now. And what the American people like is to think the underdog still has a chance."
BIG NOTE: Atlanta's own Brian McCann knocked in the winning runs for the National League All-Stars and was was named the game's MVP. The NL victory broke a losing streak that lingered since 1996.
The Baseball Gods are smiling....

Anagripe
I thought I'd have a little fun with the classic "Jumble" puzzle format. Once you've solved the four anagrams, re-arrange the circled letters to answer the cartoon riddle. (Thought I should explain this for my foreign friends.)
Feel free to leave your answers in the thread. Have fun! (Bonus points if you can use the five words in a single, coherent sentence.)

His music? Love it. His style? Provocative. His grasp of reality? Not so much.

Children's Book Page Illustration Idea
I gave myself the chance to play with a page design based on a narrow, vertical illustration. I'd like to have a shot at doing this kind of work where the art and type make for a fresh reading experience.

This is some cartoon work for a dear family member who is launching a series of tales about Vinny the Vampire, a kid-friendly romp through a whimsically macabre neighborhood.
