TimeOut New York Sex Issue

I have three full illustrations in this week's TimeOut NYC. These were fairly explicit tales of lust in the big city.


Apologies to any of my aunt's who may read them.

Puccini's "Tosca"

Bobi got her father an amazing book on Opera's masterworks. The pictures alone were stunning and I had to own a copy for myself. Since I've had it I've been dying to do a mock poster for an opera. So seizing on this little break in work - I did one for Tosca.

Drew it out quick in my sketchbook and decided to just use the pencil instead of inking over it.


Then clip & tipped* some old images to create a rug with an early-19th century feel. Rug aficionados - please refrain from blowing up my comment section.


Digi-digi...




I wanted so badly for the text to lay over Scarpia's body in shadow to mimic Tosca herself standing over him. But I didn't initially plan for that when drawing out the composition so I had to improvise.








*a nod to one Mr. Chris Stubbs for an invaluable term to add to my lexicon.
