 Nice to put the squeeze on an old basketball mate who now sits on the State Supreme Court!  Where else do you find the robes? A pleasure working with Cathy Gilmore-Barnes.

 This piece was created for a Wall Street Journal article on stocks and the economy... and will be re-used as the cover of my upcoming book titled 'Mustard Application and its Definitive and Empirical Effects on a Brighter Outlook'. I will start writing at once.

A small sketch one morning after the Iranian Election and aftermath resulted in a small drawing of Neda, the woman whose murder was recorded for all to see.  It was then posted on Drawger.

What followed was an outpouring of emotion from visitors from Iran to Drawger.  Over 400 letters and 500 e-mails to me personally.  
Almost all positive and thankful for recognition from the west.

Art can be a powerful tool.

For a section called "The Gallery", where The Atlantic asks artist to submit timely visual editorial comments.

This job was a lot of fun, and Janet was great to work with... The article detailed tips from a couple of doctors at the Relationship Institute, targeting what causes intimate relationships to go stale over time and the best strategies to keep that from happening.

 Rent a Blackberry to stay in touch with clients while on vacationing in remote territory.

The 40th anniversary of the first men on the moon has come and gone. In response to an editorial in the NY Times by Tom Wolfe the day before, several of the letters expressed a sense of "How can we top that?", and a feeling that history has become a burden to the space program. Here an astronaut shoulders this burden like Atlas.

Common Ground is a magazine for community associations. For an article on how to handle disputes, they used quotes from the Founding Fathers to offer some practical guidance. This is one of six.

Capitalism, Sarah Palin-Style

Here's the cover I did for the August issue of The Progressive, to illustrate an article by Naomi Klein, which contends that if the bailout works and the economy returns to the course it was on before the meltdown, it will be back to a world epitomized by Sarah Palin and her, "Drill, baby, drill", shop-till-you-drop-for-tomorrow-will-never-come outlook on the world.

This was a cover for a weekly alternative paper, Metro-Pulse, in Knoxville, TN.

The topic was the problems of a morbidly obese woman.

Here's my friend, John Scofield's latest CD cover, Piety Street. Nick Suttle shot the religious candles and I then painted the boys in the band into the scenes and changed the names as well. John likes his flaming guitar heart, but when they printed 12" LP's for the Japanese market it was clear I had used one of his back up guitars and he's hoping his sponser, Ibanez, doesn't notice. So everyone keep it to themselves...

 By now the forty images from my upcoming erotic book are at the printer somewhere in France.

The story «Minette» was a quiet successfull novel written by Vladan Matijevic, a Serbian writter.

The publisher of Les Allusifs and good friend of mine Brigitte Bouchard, proposed me to illustrate it.

It would have been difficult to say no to such a project, without restraint but to make it erotic somehow.

On top ihe art director, Louis Gagnon, also a friend, from the great Paprika  agency, designs the book. 

To make it short, it has been a true hell.

Here is a pick from the softest one.

Launch in october, in Paris, with later an exhibition at the Erotic Museum in Pigalle, Paris.

 A funny piece which related stories about various wind gods from different cultures like Aztec, American Indian, East Indian etc. and then applied the tales to humorous tips on bicycling.

I liked the project because it gave me a chance to go a little crazy with color and get in some of my beloved curlicues and decorative embellishments.

David was a pleasure to work with. it was my first for Bicycling.

This is a recent fullpage illustration about how to make your PC work faster than ever while online.

 Too Many Monkeys card game for Gamewright. The story line of the game borrows from the classic story - one monkey is trying to sleep and his friends swing by for a party!

Fantasy art? Well, it looks like one, but look close, she has a driver in her hands. This is a portrait of a golfer Anna Nordqvist.
Golf Digest asked me to illustrate this Swedish sensation as a poweful Viking queen.  Their request was to come up with an image that may surprise the readers. Ken and Marne gave me a lot of freedom. I had so much fun. Thank you.

Coming up with a successor to the iconic Rock and Roll Over album cover I did many years ago was quite a challenge—and one which I never anticipated would actually happen. But I got the call, and did the art. Read about it on my BLOG.
