World Tour


For decades I've been holding onto an old dilapidated atlas. It seemed to be calling out to me from the bookshelf, "You've got got the whole world at your fingertips. Go ahead, explore." So I finally honored this advice (with ample assistance from sumi ink). I hope you enjoy these impressions from the first leg of my journey!

I'd love to your thoughts on this essay. What images have left an impression on you in your travels? Stay tuned for more posts from the second leg of my journey!

Atlas Moves Forward


I recently illustrated a very weighty subject; The Wilmer Eye Institute. The Spring issue of SightLine is about the advisory council who are guiding this world-class eye center into the future.  Art director Abby Ferretti asked me to utilize the theme of 'Atlas carrying the globe', but with an upbeat, forward-looking vibe. Johns Hopkins Hospital, the founding institution of modern American medicine, is reflected in the glass.

Along with the 'Atlas' theme, here are some other ideas for this cover.


A special thanks to Abby Ferretti for another eye-opening assignment!

The Importance of Being Social


Loomis Chaffee is a premier boarding school in Connecticut. These drawings accompanied an alumni magazine story; The Importance of Being Social. It's about how social networking sites can benefit the Loomis Chaffee community. Art Director Patty Cousins asked me to illustrate logos of popular sites, but with a fun twist. I hope you find them...pinteresting?
