More spots
The past few weeks in spots…
First, this was for a column in Macworld:
This was for a story in The Wall Street Journal on the downside of income-producing investments during retirement:
Then this one for Golf World about the World Golf Hall of Fame moving its annual ceremony from Florida to New York:
These little spots were for the New York Times Education Life special feature about paying for college:
Then one for Golf Digest about using Twitter to find lower airfares:
Three icons for AARP the Magazine, for a cruise tips sidebar (not my usual colors but they had to match the section):
And finally the NYT Business Day spots from the past two weeks – using business jets to fill gaps in commercial flights and how teleconferencing has been used by businesses grounded by the volcanic ash:

Miami Herald x2
Chris Melchiondo at the Miami Herald is a real ace. He asked me to do the Sunday business cover art for a story about an expert haggler. I sent a pretty nice package of ideas, including a ping pong-themed sketch that I particularly liked (big nerd for ping pong). Chris liked that one as well but the editors liked the sketch of a cash register squaring off with a wallet (my second choice). But, it turns out there was a Monday business cover story on bartering between businesses that Chris (ace!) talked them into using the ping pong sketch for. Here they are, first Sunday:
Then Monday:

4 for the Times
As I mentioned in my Ode, I love working for the Book Review. This assignment though was particularly good – an essay about bad parents (think Coraline) replacing the classic absent or dead parent (think Cinderella) in kids’ books and young adult lit. Most of my sketches were satires of children’s literary images, but since the article also covered young adult books, I included sketches like the DWI minivan colliding with the book:
The art director and editors unanimously came back with this decision:
My first ongoing assignment for the Times came from Paul Jean when he was the AD at Circuits. He has since landed at Arts & Leisure and called me to do a piece on downloading classical music. Here are the sketches:
I had sketches due that week for 5 assignments and all of them went for the one I wanted most to finish, including Paul:
So that was Sunday’s Times, and here are the two regulars from Tuesday – the Road column was about jetlag:
And the Science story was about how copper can repair its molecular structure after prolonged exposure to radiation:
