New Series for The St. Louis Beacon!

Hello everyone- hope the holidays are going well for everyone. I'm excited to announce a new series for the St. Louis Beacon called "Snapshots".

Like "INTERSECTIONS", "Snapshots" is going to be based around different locales and experiences in St. Louis, but this time I'm aiming for a more focused approach based around specifics events, times, and places. I'm starting the series off with this illustration about Three Kings- an amazing pub on the Delmar Loop.

Working on Work and Reworking Work

Hello Everyone! I am in the process of getting ready for a big trip later this month and as part of that process I'm reworking some older pieces in my portfolio for practice. I greatly enjoy experimenting with new techniques and, if you have been keeping a keen eye on my blog the past few years, you may have noticed that I have transitioned into a more refined style over time (particularly since graduating).

In this spirit of experimentation and refinement I executed this "redux" of my "Cards fan in Cubs land" illustration for St. Louis Magazine. Hope you like it!

UPDATE! Here is the illustration- in full color glory!

I can't publish it on the blog yet, but I highly encourage you to go out and buy the latest issue of St. Louis magazine- featuring an illustration by me! Best part? It's of animals...in costume! They even posted a mini-profile of me in the magazine! Very exciting!

I will post a longer bit on it when I can. In the meantime, here is a link to St. Louis Magazine's online version of the article.

Special thanks to Kevin Goodbar and Danny Elchert for art direction on this illo as well!
