Jokes

For the Joke page of Maxim magazine.

Streetcar Faux Pas

For an article about a man new to Cincinnati who innocently mentions the city's streetcars in an attempt to make conversation at a cookout. Little did he know it was a controversial topic. 

Fear of Flying

A new illustration for Cincinnati Magazine's Dr. Know column. It's about a great aunt who fears flying. After seeing a billboard on her way to the airport with a business logo that looks like an airplane's tail crashing into a lake, she drinks gin to calm her nerves.

New Webpage

I recently redesigned my webpage with an infusion of new work. Here is an opera singer at the zoo to give you a taste of the latest. 

Maxim Magazine's Joke Page

For the last few months I've been illustrating Maxim Magazine's Joke Page. It's four jokes per month, and they're a lot of fun to draw. They're good conceptual exercise in coming up with ideas that complement the premise without giving away the punchline. David Zamdmer does the art direction and makes it a pleasure to work on. 

No Gurls Allowed

For the Dr. Know column in Cincinnati magazine. The Cincinnati Athletic Club has recently allowed women to join. A reader asks where he can get a female-free hour or two, and is roundly ridiculed for his antiquated "No Gurls Allowed" clubhouse attitude.

Here is the illustration for the original article:

Therapy Art and Science

An illustration about the positive effects of a research-based approach to therapy, yet many therapists use a more unstructured, artistic approach that is less effective. I've also included the sketches for a taste of the creative (and sometimes ugly) process. For the New York Times.
