Here's an illustration I did this morning for my hometown newspaper, The Ft. Worth Star-Telegram. It was about 90's bands like No Doubt and Counting Crows, who are gearing up for big national tours again.
I just heard about this lady and thought her stuff was so funny it deserved a post in my blog. I also wrote her a fan letter after I saw this because it really takes balls to pull off a character like this. I haven't laughed this hard at a comedic actress's work since Amy Sedaris' character Jerry Blank on "Strangers With Candy". Anyway, she's pure silliness and I really needed her tonight.

This week I did a halfway decent "Obama as Atlas" illustration. I'm pretty satisfied with the likeness and hopefully art directors will feel behooved to call me for more. I really wanted to go wild with the caricature, but I basically stayed in an area that was in-between conservative and "caricaturey". It's an image that a lot of regional magazines and newspapers won't feel is too distorted and more user friendly since I just want to keep the work 'a comin' in. I just got a small illustration about the performer "Nelly" to do next. Let me know what you all think if you can.
