A range of editorial illustrations completed for the New York Times, Bloomberg Businessweek, Highsnobiety, Spike Art Magazine, The Intercept, The Baffler, and (?) a few more (???). Displayed in a vaguely chronological order. At times art directors have an idea in mind, but 99% of the time I have pitched and developed the concepts that the AD then shops to their editor, which we then develop together.
Word Through The Times: Gridlock
Type illustration for the word 'Gridlock' referencing the NYC municipal parking signs as a formal endorsement of bad traffic patterns. AD Vinnie Neuberg
The Counterpublic Option
Cover for The Baffler concerning dynamics of speech & amplification of marginalized voices. The idea here was call-and-response vocalization informed by Occupy Wallstreet's use of the Human Microphone. This dynamic plays out from rear cover onto the front, creating a two-panel comic of sorts. The Baffler was kind enough to let me blobify their logo in the process. Completed with AD No Ideas Studio cc Devin Washburn and Philip DiBello.
