Exercise Illustrations for OUT Magazine

The art department at OUT Magazine asked me to do a set of three exercise illustrations for their March issue. I love doing these guys, and I'll return to this post with more information on the assignment soon!

New OUT Portrait

Here is another Nick Vogelson art-directed portrait for OUT Magazine. This time, it's of contributer Ilya Marritz for an article entitled "Shadows and Fog", which discusses the suicide of the Rutger's student Tyler Clementi, the events leading up to his tragic passing, and state of bullying in American mass culture.

It was a pleasure to draw Ilya -- he has such a calm warmth to his expression, and I really wanted to feature that in the final. I hope you guys enjoy it too.

BIG UPDATE

Working for OUT Magazine is a testament to collaboration, and my work with the art department continues. Here are some pieces that were included in the December/January OUT100 issue, which is on shelves now. Go grab a copy, I have 7 illustrations in this issue, and it features a list of the 100 most inspiring voices, advocates and allies of the Queer community to have graced the American cultural scene this past year.

New OUT Portrait

I've been a busy boy lately. This is a portrait of the lovely author and gender theorist Kate Bornstein, done for OUT magazine's new American Classic section.

New OUT Portrait

Alan Cummings is sort of amazing, and I can't wait to get this issue of OUT to read his contribution! This one was very fun, I hope y'all like it.

New OUT Portraits

Two new portraits for the March issue of OUT magazine. I'm working in a different technique then I used to, with sumi ink as well. I hope you like them!

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!
