Here is an illustration that I did for the September Issue of Louisville Magazine. The article, written by Cary Stemle, is about an experiment called the “road-restraint project” that she participated in during July. The challenge was simply to drive the speed limit for a week. You can read the whole article below to see what happens. Sorry for the bad scan.
Enjoy!
If you don’t like funeral’s don’t kick sand in Ninja’s face.
I was recently introduced to the spectacle that is Die Antwoord, a South African shock rave-rap act, that just might be real or a joke. I can’t explain it – Just look them up. Although I’m kind of repulsed, I can’t stop staring at that hair and those terrible tattoos. And the teeth! Gritty, kind of filthy but so interesting to draw.
Enjoy!

Here’s an illustration for an editorial job that got cancelled. I don’t know the details of the article but it was supposed to be about crank calls. Hello? Hello?
Bath Salts!
I have to admit, when everyone on the news was yelling about the “bath salts” attacks a few weeks ago I had no idea what they were talking about. How could something so benign that added a little scented fizz to your “me” time bath suddenly create the urge in oneself to chew on another human being while feeling no ill effects from pepper spray, tasers and the occasional bullet? And why the heck would anyone want to ingest them? What brainiac decided THATwas a good idea?
Silly me – I had to do a little research. It’s the coined name of a certain group of synthetic designer drugs that all of the crazies are getting their hands on these days. Turns out, my “Fizzy O’Therapy™” and “Fairy Jasmine™” bath bombs aren’t going to turn me into a flesh eating zombie lunatic after all (Yay!). Still, I kind of thought that the innocence of a 1950′s housewife hawking the stuff would make a funny editorial piece. Enjoy!
Breaking the Ice (Cream Law)
I was recently asked to do this humorous illustration for Louisville Magazine. The article, written by Roger Riddell, is about weird old Kentucky Laws. The idea was to illustrate how it is illegal in Kentucky for citizens to carry an ice cream cone in their back pocket. The author writes, ” The theory goes that it was passed to prevent would -be horse thieves from stealing the beasts by luring them home with a frozen treat”. Thanks to Art Director Suki Anderson for the fun assignment!
