Celebrate Irvington Poster

Irvington, NY is a Hudson Valley town with a lot of culture and an interesting history. The writer who created Rip Van Winkle, Washington Irving, called this beautiful community his home. I was thrilled to illustrate this poster for their annual street festival. Thanks to art director, Elena Erber, for this fun project!

Interactive Community Poster Art

These characters appear on an interactive poster which is up at the Eileen Fisher Lifeworks Center (in Irvington, NY). The poster asks the question,  What quality do I want to express more of in my life and community? Visitors are encouraged to write their answers directly in the speech bubbles on the poster.

A special thanks to art director, Elena Erber, for this very community-oriented assignment!

Eva Perón

“I am only a sparrow amongst a great flock of sparrows.”

- Evita Perón , former first lady of Argentina

Prints are available here!

Ernesto Che Guevara

Before declaring any manifesto, a passport fluttered open, revealing Ernesto. 

Vagabond forging a motorbike-route, he’d peel out hard, on united fruit. 

Asthmatic slumping on his chopper, humanity drained, traded for copper. 

Before tee-shirts exploited this face, banana republics, a branding disgrace.

Barack Obama

Here's a portrait of one of my favorite U.S. presidents, Barack Obama, created on a vintage map of Hawaii (where he was born). 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.

Prints are available here!

That's me holding the original framed portrait of one of my heroes.

Howard Stern

From all five boroughs of a neurotic mind, seven dirty words are gleefully enshrined. 

Subway tunnels connect to Freud and Jung, trains emerge, irreverence on the tongue.

A legend’s lines flow across this chart, with a juvenile sound, rhyming with heart.

Prints of this piece are available here.

Strange Brains

This recent piece for The Wall Street Journal accompanies a story called Strange stories of extraordinary brains and what we can learn from them.  By studying people with unusual mental conditions, scientists are further able to unravel mysteries of the mind. This assignment had a super tight deadline, so I pulled an all-nighter to get it done. Thanks to art director Manuel Velez for a super fun assignment. You can read the article here. Below are sketches.
