Tomby in the New Yorker

I illustrated the Shouts and Murmurs article, "Community Service," by Allison Silverman in this week's New Yorker!
Check out the article here. It's a good one– particularly if you're a Brooklynite.

Here's an earlier version of the illustration before a dimension change!

Thanks again, Nick and Jordan!

Recent Published Illos

Scissor Sisters for the New Yorker, Earth Sandwich for Meatpaper Magazine, and Eating Local for The New York Times Op-Ed.

Scissor Sisters and Eating Local were done under my alias 'Tomby.' You can see more of this illustration style here.

Meat on a stick!

Meatpaper issue 11 illustration

tying the knot

The big day is fast approaching! Here's the illustration I made for the invite. We'll be having the ceremony at my parent's house surrounded by a huge array of my Dad's native prairie flowers. We wanted the same feel for the cards, although these blooms aren't strictly what we'll be seeing.

Here's the great info site Jashar designed based on my illo!

McSweeney's SF Panorama Illo

I finished this illustration a while back for Chris at McSweeney's for the latest SF Panorama issue.
A big thanks to Sasha at Meatpaper for the recommendation!

Meatpaper illustration

I had the pleasure of making a new illustration for this issue of Meatpaper Magazine. The article followed elementary school students in an experiment with local grass fed beef vs. the USDA patty. The whole magazine is as interesting as it is well designed, as always. Be sure to take a look!

L Mag cover + Paperdoll

These illos were for The L Magazine's fashion week issue. The assignment was timed perfectly, I was wanting to round out my portfolio with some fashion-y work. I was also happy to get a chance to work with The L Mag's new art director, Rachel.

Keep an eye on my website, I'll be putting up the downloadable pdf of the doll for those of you who'd like to try your hand at some sartorial styling!

Studs

Here are a few little sketches from an upcoming illustration!

(Those shoes really exist. Who else thinks they need spurs?)

Thanks, Cecilia!

This is the coolest jewelry/antique store ever... (and it's right next to Saipua!)


Also- a big thanks to Design*Sponge for featuring my work on this week's Weekly Wrap Up!

Spock v. Spock

he sees seashells

Here's an illo I knocked out yesterday after reading SEED's article about how studying the growth of seashell patterns may lead us to a better understanding of the human brain and memory!

A couple of drawings from last year.
How did I not know how awesome Ram is?

L mag spots

There are actually a few more, but these are my favorites.

Just heard the news– Brian Rea is leaving the NY Times Op Ed page! Best of luck to him on the West Coast!
