Goggles and Monsters...

Remembrance Day is coming up in a few days, and work on my Billy Bishop graphic novel, Lone Hawk, continues. Again, there isn't much I can show. However, I should be able to post the cover in a month or two, as it will be released when the book is solicited for Penguin Canada's Fall 2011 catalog.

I also recently did some personal work, which I've used for self-promotion. It's ridiculous, and is mostly the reactionary result of working on a historical non-fiction graphic novel for 18 months. It's on my updated website, but I've included a higher-resolution version here.

For what it's worth, it's available on my website as a 12x15" archival Giclee print (this taller version has space at the bottom for type - the print version is cropped).

The Rolling Barrage ...

I haven't been posting much, on account of not having much to post. I've been working pretty much exclusively on Lone Hawk, which is coming along very well. I can't really show much of it though ... maybe just a taste here and there.

I should be wrapping up the work in a couple months, and it's currently scheduled for release in Fall, 2011.

Harvard Business Review

Back in November, I did a collection of illustrations for Harvard Business Review, and I thought I'd post a few of them. The one above was the big one, a portrait of business guru Peter Drucker. HBR was considering it for the cover, but eventually chose to go with photography, so this pic was used as a full-page alongside the feature instead.

I also did a handful of spot portraits of various CEOs to accompany their thoughts on Drucker. They were pretty small on the page, but I was pretty happy with how the drawings turned out, so I thought I'd post them here a bit bigger.





In the meantime, my primary project is still the Billy Bishop graphic novel for Penguin. It's a long haul, but I think it's coming along well.
