Life

Life isn't easy and neither is getting the wind beneath your wings. That's why it's good to have friends who you can run away with.

Gilt Groupe

Lately I've been doing some illustrations for the online luxury fashion store, Gilt Groupe. I do illustrations for Gilt [MAN]ual, the blog for the men's section of Gilt. I'm excited to be doing these illustrations for them, and I'm more than thrilled to see which direction they take me in. I love drawing clothing and fabrics, so it makes this experience even more rewarding then it already is. This is one of the images, speaking to looks that include crew neck shirts.

JUST HAVE FUN

This is another erotic piece that I just finished, describing a fun and romantic situation. I think it's cute!

New Piece

Woo, two posts within two weeks! I'm feeling good. This is a new erotic piece about the freedom of sexual expression, I hope you like it.

Dropped Drawers

Apologies for the lack of updates, I've been pretty busy on a lot of projects, most of which aren't in final or print stages, so they shouldn't be released yet. But they will come soon enough! For now, here is an image I made of a sexy lifeguard pullin' up his Speedo.

New Still Life Illustration

This guy is in the October issue of Out. He was a lot of fun, as is most of the work that I do in pencil.

Spot Illustrations for Out Magazine

I had the pleasure of interning for Out Magazine's art department this summer and the amazing opportunity to complete some illustrations for Out's September issue, which hits stores in the next few weeks. All in all I have seven spot illustrations, four portraits and three still life's, in the issue. I'm very happy and humbled to have been offered such an opportunity and I'm going to miss Out and the amazing people that I had the chance to work with!

La Roux

I did a portrait of the musician La Roux this summer. I'm trying to find my footing in digital color, and I think I like the approach I've established. In the next few weeks I will post some images of some work I'm going to have in print soon, as well as more sketches from this summer.

Zoo Day

Spread from a fun day at the zoo. I need to get back there next Wednesday morning, this was too much fun.

DRAWER

Remember that two sketchbook goal? Not gonna happen. It was a good goal, and I will have one sketchbook finished by the end of the summer, but I don't have THAT much time. This is also a symptom of being a slow draftsman, which I have to get over, I need to quicken the pace a bit! Another thing I have to get over is my obsession with drawing portraits, people, and animals. I need to do settings, buildings, the train, the bus, and the spaces that people exist in. It's sort of essential.

Well, indulgences aside, I've been going to the Natural History Museum and the Metropolitan Museum of Art to draw, and I've been having a blast. Here are some sketchy selections.
