  9. I got to illustrate the cover of the Dec. 1st issue of The Washington Post Express. The illustration is for an article called “Yule duels: Three local debates to get you through the holiday.” It pits three different Christmas related events/things in D.C. against each other. I also did some interior illustrations of each character :)

    I’ll get some photos of the cover and pages once I get it in the mail. For now, you can check out the digital article here: Yule Duels

  10. Hey guys! 

    I did an illustration for adweekmag about companies working with the BSA (Boy Scouts of America) in order to use more sustainable/environment friendly practices. You can read the article here!

    Thanks to Bryan Bartlett over at Adweek!

    Have a good day guys!

  11. Hello all! I did an editorial piece based on an NPR article about “what to do with weird farmer’s market vegetables.” The basic premise of the illustration is a woman taking the vegetables out to a cafe to talk with them about what they are and how to use them in recipes. Check out the article HERE.  :) 

    This was for my own practice and wasn’t a commission from NPR.

    This is for an upcoming zine titled Bloom that I am working on with a group of friends/artists. There will be a total of nine zines and each one is based on a color and a word. 

    Keep a look out for more!
