Independence Day holiday is over and back to work.. Thomas, Ida, Elaine and I went to see David.
Taschen is making Illustration Now into 2007 Diary and Tear Off Calendar. They will be out in fall.
Some of the original illustration drawings are on view at Schedler Minchin Fine Art in Alabama and the show just got extended till the end of July. This show Contour was curated by Jon Coffelt, a good friend of mine and a great artist.
And, happy Independence Day holiday to everyone in the US! My first Independence Day as a “permanent resident”. Yay.
No, it cannot wait any longer… So I finally updated Illustration Section. Or, you can see just new images here.
Check out AB 19 MAG of italy for my cover. Thank you Francesca.
A PERFECT DAY FOR KANGAROOS
If you are in UK, please pick up a copy of The Times tomorrow (June 24). I was asked to illustrate for exclusive Haruki Murakami short story A Perfect Day for Kangaroos for the Book Review section of the paper. Haruki Murakami, needless to say, is one of Japan’s most respected contemporary writers, and definitely one of my very favorites.
ALSO A RECOMMENDED READING from me
How To Be A Graphic Designer Without Loosing Your Soul by Adrian Shaughnessy. If you are in art and design field, read this book. Trust me, you will be glad that you did.
Oops, I cannot forgot to mention this big news! Society of Publication Designers’ SPD 41 Awards took place in May, and New York Magazine sex issue (to which I contributed a double page spread illustration) received the Magazine Of The Year award.
And thank you so much everyone at Money Magazine for inviting me to the amazing gala. I splurged and got myself an Aeron Chair!
