Enormous thanks to the jury at American Illustration for recognizing these drawings.  It’s an honor to have portraits of Ruth Bader Ginsberg and Congresswoman Ilhan Omar included in their archive.

Ruth Bader Ginsberg

Straight outta Brooklyn, it’s the Notorious RBG. This quiet supreme court justice makes all her noise with a brilliant legal mind. She is a true role model for both woman and for introverts.

Signed prints of this piece are available here!

Supreme Filing Cabinet

Sometimes the most literal images are the most effective. This piece for American Lawyer accompanied a story about what's on the docket for the new U.S. Supreme Court session. The justices will rule on big antitrust and class action cases, as well a high profile affirmative action suit. There's also a possibility that same-sex marriage will be addressed this year. Art director Morris Stubbs liked this idea of a 'supremely' big filing cabinet representing a big docket. This drawing was influenced by one of my favorite artists, David Suter, who is a master of visual puns and transformational art.

Below are ideas I submitted for this story:

Thanks to Morris Stubbs for adding another fun assignment to my docket!
