Mr. Liquid Crystal

James Ferguson  made an enormous contribution to the digital world by created LCD technology. His daughter Teri wrote a book about his fascinating life. I was thrilled to contribute the cover illustration - which incorporates the colors of natural liquid crystals.

This project came about after Teri came across a portrait I created of her father in 2011, for the tech company, Softmart.  The drawing (below) appeared in a calendar celebrating great technological innovators. In adapting this piece to a book-cover, I found Teri and designer Susan Shankin to be a pleasure to collaborate with. Looking forward to reading about his life!

I couldn’t find the right words to talk about this drawing, but it’s in the memory of graffiti artist, Michael Stewart. RIP

Humorous Mediation

This piece for Prevention Magazine accompanies a humorous piece about learning how to meditate (with mixed results). Thanks to Annabelle Gurwitch for writing such a fun essay, and to Nathan Sinclair for excellent art direction. Below are sketches I submitted.

Below is a smaller illustration which accompanied the story
