BOSTON PHOENIX R.I.P.

I was sad to hear yesterday that the Boston Phoenix is closing its doors. I did a heap of illustrations for Boston's finest alt weekly over the last decade, many of which I count among my best. If any of the drawings I've posted below are worth a second look, that has just as much to do with the intelligence and vision of art director Kristen Goodfriend as it does with my ability to hold a pencil. 

My thanks and best wishes go out to Kristen and all the other folks at the Phoenix. May they all rise once more from the ashes with longer lunches and bigger paychecks!

2012 Year End Wrap-Up Pt. 6: Web-Only illos for 360i and THE ART OF DOING

The number of web-specific illos I drew in 2012 can be counted on one hand. 

One of these days, web designers will realize that crappy stock photos

aren't the only way to solve visual problems!

Two versions of the graphics I drew for digital marketing agency 360i's SXSW webpage.

Here's a drawing I did of combat photojournalist Lynsey Addario to help promote 

"The Art of Doing," a book by Camille Sweeney and Josh Gosfield.
