CA Competition Entry

A few hundred moons ago when I started my degree in Graphic Art, my professor, Mr. John Agars, introduced me to Communication Arts Magazine. I started my subscription then and now have almost entire bookcase dedicated to the copies I’ve collected. I’ve always wanted to be featured in Communications Arts. One of the ways I might get into CA is to win their Illustration Annual Competition. Looking over last year’s projects this editorial illustration I did for an article about innovation was one of my favorites. So, I made it my entry for this year. With any luck the judges will gush over its wonderful simplicity.

My Chemical Romance

I was talking with my good friend and buddy, Sam Day, about gun-toting dentists when somehow the subject switched to romantic relationships created through the common denominator of drug addiction. (Sam and I have the greatest conversations.) Anyway, I mentioned that a few years back I did an editorial image for an article on that very topic. He didn’t remember seeing it. So, I decided to make it my first post of 2008.

Octopus Remote Shuffle

Here is something I worked on this week. It was kind of hard getting any work done earlier this week since roofers covered the house like ants. Their pounding and the constant racket of air compressors made it very hard to concentrate. Now that they are gone, leaving behind a beautiful roof, the cat and I can calm down.
