Another illustration for thebillfold. Nothing like animals talking ecomics

Ad for The American Institute of Architects.
I created this illustration as a personal piece, which AIA bought. I find it so gratifying when something I create for pleasure is used for professional reasons. I will have photographs of the ad soon.

Say hello to Adzuki and Mo (possibly the last animal commission of 2010)! These cute little shitzu’s belong to Anita Lo! the owner and chef of Annisa. It was a complicated task working on this commission as her partner wanted me to include their favorite toys (piggy and bee) and Annisa as Mo and Adzuki are there every day to eat scraps, guard the door, and bark at bad waiters.
The solution I came up with was to make a close up portrait of the two dogs and their toys and use one of the squares, I usually just have a block of solid color, as the window. The windows of Annisa lend themselves to this ideas as they are rather large and square. I created different washes of orange to help create depth and the idea of the interior without being too distracting.

It was a fun exercise and I am really happy with the end result!

I was featured on the Food Network Blog! And how fitting that it be the recipe my parents have been making for as long as I can remember.

Invitations for the Joe holiday party. I wanted to incorporate the theme of “white elephant” which is where people give presents not knowing who is giving and receiving them. I wanted to make it nondenominational as the owner is Jewish, but lots of the people who work at Joe are not Jewish.
