Hope you had a good holiday...

The New York Times Sunday Styles

I did an illustration for the cover of the Sunday Style

section of The New York Times.

The article is about trimming your list down to fit

financial needs. It's something my whole family

is doing this year (kids only) so I can relate.

So they wanted Santa's list with names falling off

and turning into snowflakes.

Done and done.

This is a picture I took while I was cutting out all the names.

I got lots of Style section kids on the list and some family and friends.

I also got S. Britts Eddy making his way off of the list.

Sorry Eddy you've definitely been naughty.

The finish turned out really nice.

The snowflakes were the hardest part but I

think the variety of them is fun.

It looks amazing in the paper.

(I know I use the word amazing a lot but

I am always amazed at how lucky I am.)

Thank you to wonderful AD Corinne Myller

for the smooth sailing on this job.

Power In Numbers 4 - Revisited

Thanks to everybody who came out in the rain

to the show at Gallery Nucleus last night.

It was nice to see friends and meet amazing people.

The work was crazy good, it is an honor to be a part of.

If you didn't catch the show last night it will be up

until the 28th of December.

Power In Numbers 4

This coming saturday, I am part of a big

group show at Gallery Nucleus in Alhambra.

Every piece is 5"x7" and are priced at $100.

All proceeds benefit the Red Cross.

I wanted to create a series,

so I decided to do stacks of animals.

I also choose the color palette for each

based on the four seasons.

I had done a crocodile pile in the past

and wanted to take another stab at it.

I also did a Yak Stack

and a Sheep Heap.

For the fourth one I was going to do a Hound Mound

(which I will probably still do) but I decided to

cut a title of sorts instead.

Sometimes Things Just Start To Pile Up

When I put them all together they reminded me

of the set of Yo Gabba Gabba. Completely unintentional.

Now if I could only get DJ Lance Rock behind my work.

GO Magazine

I got a call to do some cut paper snowflakes.

The scientific kind. Mmm...Science.

Go Magazine, which is an in-flight magazine,

asked me to illustrate the four types of snow:

Graupel

Needles and Plates

Stellar Dendrites

and Puff Balls.

The puff balls were by far the hardest thing I've cut

in a while, as the actual pieces are about 5" across.

I would love to get more science type work.

It's a nice challenge.

Thanks to Tim, for the perfect Art Direction.
