Iowa Haystacks

 

I drew this piece in tribute to the Agricultural heart of America, Iowa. While creating this drawing, I kept thinking about the legendary painter of Iowa landscapes, Grant Wood. This is part of a series called World Tour - in which I use pages from an old atlas as canvases - painting images relating to the place on each map.

Signed prints of this piece are available here, in my Etsy shop.

Harvard Colloquy

Here's a portrait for Harvard's Colloquy Magazine. It accompanies an interview with Emilio Kouri,  professor and chair of the history dept. at the University of Chicago (as well as a Harvard graduate). In this conversation, he discusses the social and economic history of rural Mexico, and how it was impacted by the Mexican Revolution.

Special thanks to art director, Morgan Jordan, for affording me such a special opportunity. I am obsessed with incorporating my drawings into maps, and was thrilled to apply this approach to an illustration assignment. With access to thousands of copyright-free maps, I can create artwork in this style for your illustration needs.

 Below are some of the sketches submitted for this assignment:
