Society of Illustrators 54

I had two pieces selected for The Society of Illustrators Annual, very happy and honored! Here is one of them.

Clouds-n-Daisies

Here's a recent spread we did for Computerworld Magazine.  Thanks to April Montgomery for doing such a great job with the layout and making our artwork look nice.

Rug Design for NuLoom

We love getting samples in the mail, here's a project I worked on over the summer in collaboration with NuLoom Rugs. Wes is very excited to break this in with some long afternoon sunbeam naps.

Paint Time

I took a little break from the computer and decided to work on a painting Matt had started awhile back.  It felt good to get messy again.

Beach Time

Barbara Kingsolver

We love getting samples in the mail. Here's a recent book project we worked on for a Barbara Kingsolver book. We'd love to read it except we don't know Italian.

Art Director: Giacomo Callo

Designer: Susanna Tosatti

Hello Paris!

We took a little trip to Paris that turned out to be pretty magical.  Tasty food, fun times with the family and a nice break from work.  We're back in Philly now and fully recharged and ready to take on the studio again.  I'm a little behind on e-mails but promise to get back to you all very soon.  

Weeds

Here's a recent cover I worked on with Allison Saltzman from Ecco/Harper Collins.  

When I received the initial call for this project I happened to be standing in my parents garden which happened to have a fair amount of weeds (sorry Dad, I know its not your fault...just a weedy season!) anways, I was immediately inspired and was happy to have such a magnificent array of reference material at my fingertips.  Thanks to Allison for being such a great art director, and to my Dad for having a fantastically weedy section of his garden.  

Surtex '11

Matt and I will be at showing our work at Surtex this year.  Feel free to swing by booths 

#345-347 to say hello.

Daily Drop Cap

Awhile back the fantastically talented Jessica Hische invited us to be part of her Special Guest Alphabet for Daily Drop Cap.  She gave us the letter J (for Juniper) and we went to work. Here is the end result.  Thanks to Jess for inviting us to be part of her very cool project. Click here to see more.

Latest Book Cover

Matt and I recently had the pleasure of working on a book cover with Duncan Baird Publishers in the UK.  We just received our copy in the mail, thanks to Billy Wagar for doing such a nice job with the design and making our mail box happy.

Washington Post

Here's an illustration we did for a children's poetry section of the Washington Post.

Pals

Blue Q Bag

Sunny Side Up Shoulder Tote for Blue Q.

Thanks to the wonderful art directors and designers at Blue Q for making this 

collaboration happen. 

NY Book Show

This book cover recently won a merit award at the New York Book Show.
Thanks to David Caplan over at Little, Brown and Company for his most 
excellent design skills.

Spring...

We are still waiting for spring to make an official appearance here in Philadelphia.  I finally finished this piece with the hopes of helping it along.

Ink, Paint, and Coffee

Painting With My Pals

Whole Foods Better Bag

One of my latest collaborations with Whole Foods, a Better Bag (the tomatoes are my 
part of the collaboration).  It's been fun to spot people carrying the bag around town.

Thinking of Spring

Snow Day!

New Limited Edition SmartWool Socks

Just in time for the chilly weather, new SmartWool Socks.

Here we have my two top notch studio assistants helping me out with the design process.

Thanks to SmartWool for another fun project.

We were recently included in an article about local artists who paint food:
