War Without End

UPDATE::> I was alerted to the fact that my previous Arabic text was backwards, a bit off and should be connected. I wasn't able to do the latter-I have no idea how to properly connect it. Apologies to my Arabic-savvy readers.

The Book: War Without End-The Iraq War in Context by Michael Schwartz
The Review: Eleanor Bader.
The Illustration: The title of the book made me think of 'From Here to Eternity' and the iconic, now cliché scene where Burt Lancaster and Deborah Kerr are frenching in the surf.

Look for it in the next ish of the Indy- Available in print and online by Friday.

Curious

Something else i'm working on...

WHO YAH GONNA CALL?!

So The Indy asked me do another center spread. This time for their all-Obama issue. They asked me to come up with an illo addressing 5 challenges BO will have to tackle..or..bust, if you will. Here's what I came up with.

THIS.IS.VITAMIN WATER!!!

Not sure if I posted this here since its been finished. It was part of a a pitch that never got picked up. I reworked it for a friend's portfolio.

Libera!!

Here are a few ad comps that I did for a Sony campaign. They never ended up running, but they look awful perty.

GO GRAB IT

The new issue of The Indypendent is out. You know, the one with the cover I drew? Go grab it anywhere fine free papers and leaflets are strewn. The whole issh can also be downloaded here. (top right)

Obamaclaus

Here's the cover to the next Indypendent newspaper. I believe it goes to print on Wednesday so it should be in shops by Friday I would think....

NEW INDY

This will run in the next issue of the Indypendent newspaper and probably end up on indypendent.org.

Magic Laptop

The Indy asked me to do another image for their Nov-Dec '08 issue. So I did. This one is about a magic laptop and its involvement in South American political strife. The Indy has a website too..indypendent.org You can download the current issue, which includes a piece by me, and then check back for the next one!

Obama Hears You

Here's another one for the Indypendent. Its slated for the center spread so it should be nice and big.

Mixtape.

Here's another little number. I know its Friday and everything should be happy, but sometimes its good to think about those who are less fortunate than we are. It puts everything into perspective. Life may be rough, but at least I have hands and can play catch. Sorry Kiwi. Sorry Ghostboy. One word: prosthetics.

The Chain is Long

This image is running now in the Indypendent newspaper accompanying an article by Robert Weissman called ‘Public Ownership, No Public Control.’ Its gripping stuff. Grab a copy where ever you pick up free periodicles…like your local nursing home, coffee shoppe, etc…

King of Klassic

I just watched King of Kong: A Fistfull of Quarters last night. Amazing.
This one goes out to all the classic gamers in arcades everywhere, fists raised in silent adulation.
Classic.

ÜBERFASHION

I just finished a job for Glamour where myself and 2 other artists (Ron Wimberly and Christine Norrie) had to draw fashion inspired superheroes LIVE by request! Here are a few images I did in prep for that. It was the first time I had done anything live in front of a rediculous amount of people. It was mad fun though, especially when surrounded by good food and beautiful women. Thanks to Miri, April and Sarah at Glamour for hosting.

Map To Paradise

For a while now I've been the production designer for Studio Rêver Motion Picture Company. Our most recent venture is Couchgarden. A Delteologist (postcard collector) searches for the missing cards to complete the set he believes to be a map to paradise on Earth. I created eight real cards, front and back, for the film. The middle card, the ninth card, is also in the film. But you'll have to go see it to see it. Trailer is here: couchgarden.com
