Rejected drawings + drawing drawings

Below are some rejected drawings for previous illustration jobs...and some drawings that were just for fun. I think they are still pretty good in their own right even if they weren't chosen for publication! Enjoy :)

NYT Op-Ed - ANXIETY

I completed this illustration for the New York Times Op-Ed section this past week. It was for a special column that focuses on anxiety...and the particular woman who wrote this autobiographical column suffers from some SERIOUS anxiety. I got anxious just reading it!

Read it HERE!

I've been working on a large illustration assignment for a magazine...nearing completion. I'll post it up here in the next week! So keep an eye out :)

new painting

This painting was inspired by a girl I saw in a meeting I went to. She had the most unique face and body and I just had to document it...so I made a tiny little thumbnail sketch from life and then went home and created this (exaggerated) version of her. It's always interesting to me when inspiration will hit...it comes so randomly and unexpectedly...but it's very exciting when it happens.

This is gouache on neon poster board.

Glass Face

Acrylic and gouache on tracing paper.
