This illustration, for Vacations Unlimited magazine, goes along with an article full of tips on how to sleep well while traveling.

This illustration is for a Common Core Coach math book, for kids in the 3rd grade. After illustrating some of the concepts covered in the book, it became woefully apparent to me how much you forget the older you get. Damn you fractions! Anyway, you can see how the illustration fits into the design of the cover below in the sketch.

This illustration is for Carnegie Melon’s Tepper school of business alumni magazine and is about the ‘innovation ecosystem’ they’ve brought about at the school by promoting synergy amongst the different disciplines at Carnegie Melon. Students from all disciplines (design, technology, business & more) are expected and encouraged to collaborate to build successful, innovative business ideas and with alum’s like the founders of ModCloth.com they seem to be doing a pretty swell job of it.

A spot illustration highlighting a business that developed a technology and business plan at Tepper that scours the web to deliver real-time prices of consumer goods to a wide variety of clients.

This illustration for Northwestern’s alumni magazine is about Rahm Emanuel, Chicago’s first Jewish mayor, and how he is adding to the city’s already rich political lexicon with his colorful use of Yiddish words.

I had hand drawn most type for this piece, though unfortunately, because of last minute changes/additions, it had to be killed.

These illustrations, for an insert in Portland Monthly magazine, go along with a booklet about children’s health. Throughout the booklet different fun, healthy, outdoor activities for children are highlighted, including lakes, forests, rock climbing, water parks, and even how to get out and about in the city.

This illustration, for Investment Advisor magazine, went along with an article about new regulations in the US requiring the disclosure of more information about 401(k) retirement plans to consumers. I also illustrated the type and a drop cap  so that they would fit right in with the illustration.
