Russian Troll

Behind this mask lies a world-class-troll, sewing seeds-of-division in the American soul. 

Farming out chaos to skew every poll, and crushing virtue into coal. 

While our gangster leaders live on this dole,  let’s flush ’em all down the bowl.

Federal Reserve Bank of NY Map

I had the pleasure of collaborating with an amazing designer, Megan Mardiney, in creating this ambitious map installation. It’s located in the museum at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, 33 Liberty St., Manhattan. The NY Fed helps implement US monetary policy.  

This map represents the region they encompass: NY State, Puerto Rico. the Virgin Islands, as well as parts of CT and NJ. The NY Fed maintains a healthy dialogue with the people, businesses and local governments throughout this territory. They promote sound economic decision-making.  

This museum educates people about the role of the Federal Reserve, as well as how our economy functions. The vignettes on this map represent various industries, landmarks and animals of the region. You can read more about my process of making this map here. Enormous thanks to Megan and Kerwin Adduru, for including me in this wonderful project.

Meadowbrook Moose

Here’s a fun project for the Meadowbrook School in Weston, Massachusetts. I was asked to create a cut-out doll for a brochure which promotes this excellent K-8 institution’s annual fund drive. It depicts their mascot, the Meadowbrook Moose, along with cut-out accessories which he/she/they can be outfitted with - showing school pride. As a moose lover, I had a blast designing this character, along with the little dress-up elements. Special thanks to fantastic designer and longtime collaborator, Dan Beard, for this fantastic assignment.

Below are sketch ideas I submitted for this assignment:

Ocean Therapy

I was able to get some ocean therapy this week, taking in the sights, sounds and scents of Bethany Beach, Delaware. Without a doubt, spending time at the ocean is good for your mental health!

W.H. Auden

Here's a portrait of W.H. Auden, who is regarded as one of England's greatest poets. I drew him on a parking map of York, where he was born. Much like the roads depicted on this map, I imagine the lines on his face would lead us on some truly lyrical adventures. Please visit my website to view more interesting portraits.
