Do you remember this fish?

Recently I was commissioned by New York's Metropolitan Transit Authority to create artwork for their Arts for Transit program. You may have seen it on many of the subway cars in the city. Prints can be purchased through the MTA. And though many of you emailing me have claimed to see a metaphor for the Last Supper, any such similarity is strictly coincidental!

 

2009 Rose Bowl Poster

An oldie but a goodie. At the end of 2008, the LA Times approached me with a really fun project--designing the poster for the 2009 Rose Bowl.

Every year I create a pro bono contribution to the annual National Labor Federation Calendar.

I created this illustration of Chinese dissident and artist Ai Wei Wei for the British based HUCK Magazine recently. It was also accepted to the 2012 Communication Arts Illustration Annual.

From a series of illustrations for a recent Popular Science issue. The story was entitled "The Blind Oceanographer". Tons of fun with oceanographic imagery. Also accepted to the 2012 Communication Arts Illustration annual.

Released in 2011, The PDT Cocktail Book: The Complete Bartender's Guide From the Celebrated Speakeasy by world renowned mixologist Jim Meehan.

Awarded Best Cocktail Book of the Year at the 2012 Spirited Awards in New Orleans.

A recent cover for the Weekly Standard.
A recent magazine cover I created for Chief Executive. The story centered around the continuing battle between states to compete for business in a challenging economic environment. This piece combined panel engraving with Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop.
In the news recently--the election of Aung San Suu Kyi to Myanmar's parliament caps a remarkable turn around for the pro-democracy campaigner, who was kept under house arrest for a total of 15 years by the country's military junta.
All hail Mark Zuckerberg. I created this illustration for The Deal Magazine. It was recently picked up by the Ispot.

A series of outdoor billboards I created for Tichy Eis--a famous ice cream parlor on Reumannplatz in Vienna, Austria. Every year Tichy commissions a new artist to create their primary advertising for the upcoming summer. Oh, the strange semi-spherical shapes on the left are Tichy's signature ice cream treat--apricot dumplings rolled in vanilla ice cream and covered with nuts.

I was commissioned by Aetna Insurance to create this massive mural to promote their products to unions. Look for it in public places and airports across the country.
