Toothy update
Way back in November 2009, I posted some billboards from around Philadelphia for Emergency Dentist 24/7. The signage featured Toothy, an ailing spokescharacter I did for them a couple of years ago. While in Philly last week for a meeting about some new possibilities for said character, I spotted a new Toothy:

Recent work and a new sketchblog
My sketchblog is finally up and running on Tumblr. There’s a link on the homepage or you can go there from here. There’s only a few posts at the moment but I’ll be adding more this week and then updating regularly.
A few weeks ago I had to illustrate a half-page for an American Medical News business feature. It was about all the IT tasks that need to be done in a medical practice to keep the system running smoothly. Here is the sketch package – Post-its computer, pixelated check marks, and those old note pads with little cartoon illos on each page:
And this was the final page:
Last week’s NYTimes business travel column was about the hassles of flying during the summer:
Science Times this week was on Mesoamerican civilizations and how they developed different techniques for processing rubber, depending on what the rubber was to be used for:

New Work Roundup Part 1
I always think that if I’m not posting regularly it gives the impression that I have nothing new to show, but in fact the opposite is true. It’s been hopping lately and there’s just not enough time to get to everything, and updating the blog and the galleries had to wait. Here is a quick roundup of a few recent spots and quarters, with more on the way, as well as some news about a year-long book project that’s nearly finished, a couple of proposals I’m still waiting to hear back on and a link to my new sketchblog.
Since the beginning of the year, I’ve done a spot about once a month for The Weekly Standard. They are funny, apolitical one-offs for the front of the book. This one was about a guy who travels with tons of nicotine lozenges due to their spotty availability overseas (he has learned to ask for them in 12 different languages or something like that):
This was the Jobs section cover art for The Washington Post about how to get work without experience:
As I mentioned in many earlier posts, I do a spot every Tuesday for Biz Day in the NYTimes. This one was about the number of unclaimed miles in the frequent flyer system:
And this was another Washington Post Jobs cover about a manager who gets treated like a junior employee by an older colleague:

The Weekly Standard
This spot for The Weekly Standard was about a man with a serious addiction to nicotine lozenges. You can read about this assignment and see more recent work in the blog now. Thanks for looking!
