Memorial Day

I went down to Media, PA this weekend. It was so nice to escape from the city for a few days. A good dose of flowers and sunshine goes a long way.

American Illustration & Applied Arts

I got word recently that these portraits of Poe and Ayn Rand have been "chosen" for the American Illustration 28 web gallery.

I did the Rand portrait in the Atlanta airport while waiting for a connecting flight to visit my family in Oklahoma. I always get nervous that airport security will try to confiscate my scratch nibs as some sort of tiny, terribly ineffective arsenal of weapons (this has never happened, I just like to worry about it). I'm glad I didn't have any run-ins with TSA on that trip.

Several of these portraits will also appear in the Applied Arts photo/illustration annual out this month. They have put the work up online as well.
