Oops, I cannot forgot to mention this big news! Society of Publication Designers’ SPD 41 Awards took place in May, and New York Magazine sex issue (to which I contributed a double page spread illustration) received the Magazine Of The Year award.
And thank you so much everyone at Money Magazine for inviting me to the amazing gala. I splurged and got myself an Aeron Chair!
Some of the original drawings from my illustration work are on view at Schedler Minchin Fine Art in Alabama now. This show Contour was curated by Jon Coffelt, a good friend of mine and a great artist.
Some new illustartions are: Atlantic Monthly, WIRED, MONEY, DOMINO (all June), The New York Times and PC Magazine (both June 6 issue). Yes, I will update illustration section with new images soon.
I added so many images to “recent illustrations” section over the years it was getting out of control. I did a bit of a makeover. Now you can browse through images by category or by theme. School year has just ended at SVA, so I am planning on working more on my site over this summer.
If you are a store in New York City area, I would be happy to come by to show you the samples before you place an order to NookArt. Please call my studio or e-mail me to set up appointment. I won’t make you disappointed!
Big thank you goes to Andres, Bev, Trent and Nova of NookArt.

Worked with FIeld Studies Center of New York, and had 13 of Olathe North High School students from Kansas visit my studio today. We talked about illustration as career choice. Thank you for students, parents and guide from Field Studies to come visit early morning in the rain.
Society of Publication Designers‘ SPOTS judging is done. Thank you for everyone who applied. John Cuneo and Edel Rodriguez had such presence and impact, as always, but WOW.
Ai Tatebayashi, a very talented young illustrator, is officially back in New York.
Just recovering from two weeks of tough cold/fatigue and probably a tightest deadline job I have ever worked on. I have just finished illustrating cover to cover of April issue of SPLASH!, a magazine for T-Mobile. If you happened to work for T-Mobile, I guess I (well, my work, to be exact) will see you sometime this month.
Thank you for everyone at Publicis Seattle, especially Yumiko Menikoff who worked together with me on phone, e-mail and even business trip to NY through the process. Hope you enjoy your time off in Japan. Big thank you to Wendi Koontz for helping me color some of the illustrations. You really saved my life and I owe you a big one!
