Wednesday, February 4, 2009. Biting the hand that feeds. I was recently approached by a National Labor Group (I’ll call it the NLG*) to do a pro-bono illustration for a calendar they produce each year in which they explain aspects of their mission with a dozen illustrated essays. It's a project I've participated in twice before, having done illustrations about Farm Workers' Rights and Health Care Reform in previous years. So when the National Labor Group came calling, I once again accepted. 2 The illustr...

Friday, August 21, 2009. Not long ago I discovered a way to magically turn an assignment for one illustration into eight. No miracles involved, no smoke and mirrors, no Photoshop clone tool.

Tuesday, December 23, 2008. An evening with Al Farrow. Al Farrow (left) and me. In October, I had the privilege of hearing Al Farrow. Speak at the Corcoran, along the Shepard Fairey. Al has been a sculptor for many years and has explored a number of themes, but the evening's talk focused on his "Reliquary" series, which was one-third of a 3-man show at Irvine Contemporary in October/November (along with Fairey and Paul Miller aka DJ Spooky) called " Regime Change. Above: a sample of Al Farrow's work.

The floor of my son's room is an almost comical testament to the life of a typical nine year old boy. One of my jobs as father is to figure out where he's going to go in life, and help him sort things out and get there. Those symbols of wide-ranging boyhood interests littering his room will slowly get whit...
