best in show + Marc Jacobs fall line

Clark Wissler image used

I was contacted out of the blue from the kind people over at Silicon Web Costumers' Guide for use of my illustration of Clark Wissler. It's a website that has articles about how to design authentic period clothing and events that they can be worn. This article was about a specific tribal piece of clothing of the Blackfoot clan, which Clark Wissler studied. It is so nice to have someone interested in my work and I was happy to have it published with them.

Cover lettering for Bark!

Once again the kind folks over at The Bark! Magazine hired me for some hand lettering. This time it appears on the cover, which is great. Should be out on the magazine stands soon.

Even MORE frog photos - this time with their skin on

More froggy photos

Bark! Magazine lettering work

I just finished up a job with Bark! Magazine to do some lettering for an article. They are dog names, being the for the same dog. I think the layout looks great!

Froggy photos

I've been commissioned by a postdoctoral research associate here at the museum to take photographs of "cleared and stained" frog specimens. They are super tiny and float in dishes of glycerine. Using the microptics lab has been a challenge but I am quite happy with the photographic results!

Old Roman coin drawing

This is a drawing of two sides of a really old coin. The side with the figure is of winged victory dragging a person (vanquished enemy?) by the head. So you can see the head and torso at the bottom right. I've no idea what the lettering means.

Arabic script engraved in a knife blade

In this illustration I had to draw out the fine engravings on a knife from Egypt. The script engravings on the knife are more doodling than actual text, but still resemble Arabic writing. The larger lettering near the handle is legible script.

Tibetan script on the base of statues

This is another assignment I did for the AMNH, looking at scripts on the base of statues. It's an examination of Tibetan script and whether or not it is actual script, a doodle or decoration.

Robert Smiths Beauty Book

I've added another illustrated story onto my main website. It's Robert Smith's Beauty Book, where he divulges all his beauty secrets! To see the whole thing go here.

Drawings for linguistics book cover

These are drawings I did for a possible book cover on linguistics. The curator wanted to show a sign painted on a donkey cart from Africa. The sign translates into something like "good luck". I did a little research and for fun I added the donkey in the roughs. In the end the curator said NO DONKEY. Too bad.
