New Collaborative effort

I'm starting a new series of drawing in collaboration with my good friend Renee French. The first series are portraits, from memory, of our gradschool teachers. These are just pen & ink - I'll watercolor them once they're firther along. We plan on drawing 10 each per series.

I has Mrs. Otto for both kindergarten and second grade.

Dr. Fred Steiger was a shrink I saw in middle school.

Lucky Peach is Out

I was fortunate enough to be asked to contribute some drawings to a new magazine called Lucky Peach, which just hit news stands this week. From the press release:

Momofuku’s David Chang, zero point zero production, and McSweeney’s present: lucky peach, a quarterly iPad application and print journal. Each issue / episode will have a theme—the first issue is dedicated to ramen.

Below is one of the drawings made for the inside cover. My timeline drawing for the history of ramen can be seen on the magazine's web site. In July - the iPad app will be available with some additional work of mine (they added 2.5 hrs of video + other stuff, along with the contents of the magazine).

All of the items in the stomach are objects that appear in the magazine

More work for The Goods - from April 7, 2011

Here are a few more drawings to be printed in the Chicago Tribune and the San Francisco Chronicle as part of McSweeney's The Goods. The following text will be printed with these pictures:

SHARPEN YOUR EYEBALLS

These three paintings are actually puzzles. Can you figure out the longer word or phrase that each word represents?

NOT GETTING THE GOODS?
WRITE TO YOUR PAPER AND ASK FOR "The Goods" by McSweeney's BY NAME!
(the features editor is your best bet.)

Pre Watercolor

I finlally completed the pencil for this 6' x 6'(ish) drawing. This is what it looks like before I wreck it with watercolor.

The Goods meets Sharpen Your Eyeballs

The square above is how The Goods appeared in newspapers. Below, you can see my contribution.Below is my first contribution to McSweeny's The Goods. It appeared on March 11, 2011 in the Chicago Tribune and the San Francisco Chronicle. Text was placed over the water in the canal describing how a family secretly lives beneath a candy shop and occasionally sneaks above ground at night to steal sweets. The kids reading the paper were instructed to find all 20 missing pieces of candy throughout their underground lair. This weird shape fits into a square of 'The Goods' along with works from other children's books writers and artists.
