These pieces have been in progress for a while. They got a little lost in the shuffle, but they're finally finished.
The first is an illustration of a straightforward article about Florida's two BCS championships in three years and its strong foundation to build on that success.
The second piece is about that other guy who was president for the last eight years.
Cranked out this piece over the weekend. It's about Ron Popeil, the man who pioneered the infomercial and brought us such ground-breaking inventions as Spray-On Hair, the Pocket Fisherman, and the Showtime Rotisserie. My angle was that he kind of evolved the entrepreneurial method of sales from door to door to the wider-reaching medium of television. I'll get some feedback today, so we'll see what happens . . .
New piece. Needs a few tweaks, but here it is as of now. It's about Markus Frind, the dude that invented PlentyOfFish.com, the biggest dating website in the country. He makes tens of millions of dollars a year working like ten minutes a day. Ridiculous.
Sorry for the lack of posts recently. I was with VCU attending a conference in Qatar. Here is the latest piece that I've finished. The article, from Playthings magazine, is titled, "A Strange Appeal." It talks about the surprising popularity of science and nature toys in today's market. Enjoy.
Currently working on a new piece. It's about all of the ties between Obama and Lincoln and how so many people, including Obama, are trying to make him into the next coming of Lincoln.
Here's the sketch (or compilation of sketches) and first stage of color. Final should be coming soon, in the next day or so.
