A Barrage Of Opinion

I read the op-ed pages alot. Not only for the fantastic spot illustrations but I like to get pre-digested opinions from real live intellectuals to help inform my own. The columnists who supply the perspectives run the gamut in political perspectives but always seem to be coming from rational and grouded places, never seeming to be overly-driven by political affiliation blustering red-hot hyperbole that pervades our televised news. Daily I try to immerse myself in the conflicting musings of Krugman, Friedman, Brooks and Co. in an attempt to remain progressively centered. It is pretty obvious that I am not a political scholar disguised as an illustrator such as the biting and articulate Steve Brodner but I do feel a responsibility to be fairly well-versed in my country's doings. But sometimes I wish that I could blindly pick a side and run with the rhetoric. Being centered and open to the perspectives of both sides is at times too disorienting for the political amateur.



Illustration in ink, gouache and digital composite.



My first stab at layout and in a while. Alot of fun.

Sparks In The White Night Sky

Love is like this city - deep and flowing, with endless corners and shadowed crannies to get lost in.
