cleveland inspired

This series was inspired by the people and places in my westside Cleveland neighborhood and is a sort of ongoing creative experiment. It's completely different in style and subject matter from the rest of my commercial work and has been a refreshing change of pace. Check back later, I hope to develop the series and post more soon.

Communications Arts Illustration Annual 2010

The year began with a bit of good news, four pieces from an ongoing personal project were published in the Communication Arts Illustration Annual. I don't know if you saw this year's magazine out there, but it highlights some really great work. I'm very humbled to be included among so talented a group.

Welcome to ACD!

Hey and welcome to the blog! I can't believe I'm actually doing this as I've never been a big 'blog guy' but I wanted to create a more personal place to post work and other things - so here it is! The name is inspired by the alley behind my apartment building. It's a sort of 'super-highway for drifters' traversing Ohio City and the cats, well they're out there fending for themselves and it's not always pretty. All of this is going on just below my studio's window and there's no denying it's had an influence on my work and at least for now, I'm going with it. Please bare with me it's definitely a work in progress. Thanks for dropping by!
