More Maps!




Here are two more examples of caricatures of landscape. The first is a screen capture of work I did for a Georgia Department of Transportation project involving cartoon maps on interactive touch-screen kiosks that has since been tabled due to the massive state budget shortfall. The second is a map of East Haddam, CT. Both are hand-drawn, with digital embellishments.

Cartoon Maps


Cartoon Maps, (27X35 original, 24X30 printed, ink on illustration board).
Here are a few close ups I took of some of the cartoon maps I've illustrated over the years. They are hand-drawn and colored, and the graphic work is done on the computer.







Two New Retirement Illustrations




National Peanut Board Retirees, (16X20, ink, acrylic wash on illustration board). Here's two more commissioned by the National Peanut Board through the ad agency Lawler, Ballard, Van Duran, in Atlanta. The fellow on the top is a chef and world traveller, so I took the liberty of including a few well-known architectural icons in the background. I originally drew the Eiffel Tower, but they said he had never been to Paris, so I had to substitute the Statue of Liberty instead. As far as the second piece goes, I have no idea what anything means. I just drew what I was told to draw.
