TRAVELING WITHOUT MOVING

One of the things I love about being an illustrator is that my work can travel to a lot of different places with me being here in front of my desk.

My monthly illustration for Marian Mcevoy’s page in DOMINO Magazine is now seen monthly in DOMINO Greece and House and Garden South Africa. Also, from September issue I will be illustrating sex column for TORO, super well designed men’s magazine in Canada.

But hey, I am still here, in Midtown Manhattan, blasting my favorite Jamiroquai tune…
