Back to it

I spent August taking long weekends and keeping my workload light. I haven’t been updating the blog as regularly as I should. Ah, summer. But, September is here. It’s time for some self-promotion…better hop to it.

Here are the past four weeks of the NYTimes business travel spots – Flight attendants as refs in the war over carry-on bin space, business travel bouncing back, flight attendants give their perspective on air travel:

Last week I was supposed to have a sub but no one got that memo. In a pinch, I did one sketch with my daughter’s crayon while having breakfast in a Philadelphia hotel (and sent a photo from my phone) – the long-awaited 787 is coming:

Spot for a Remodeling article titled “Have I Got a Guy for You”, about giving rewards for referrals:

Two weeks of Science Times – the emotions of animals and science confirms the best way to pour your champagne:

For The Washington Post, how to be a great manager:

Half-page and a spot for Women’s Health on whether or not you need a financial therapist:

Not my usual thing but the art director requested this style based on this illustration I did for The Washington Post.

More to come next week!

New and Newish

Here are a few assignments from June, and a couple from last week…

First, a quarter-page for Hanley Wood Business Media about sales reps for contractors and the system for selling products to homeowners:

Two small spots for AARP Bulletin – one about new programs for reporting crimes online and another about libraries offering programs for people who are housebound:

A quarter-page for Security Management about safety concerns for those traveling abroad for work:

Two weeks of the business travel column in the NYTimes – reaction to passengers stranded on a runway for three hours with no air conditioning and why hotel guests are a favorite target for credit card hackers:

Science Times last week was about how brain physiology differs for different personalities (I actually preferred this sketch as an image, but I understand why they chose the other one):

And Science this week was on Zebra Finches and how stronger vocal muscles mean more complex song:

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:

Follow-up regular

Last week’s Road column in the NYTimes was about people paying more for the exit row seats and the FAA’s concerns about those passengers’ ability to perform the emergency duties of that seat. The column inspired a large reader response (and consequently a follow-up column) about the flying public’s similar concerns, and their calls for better screening of exit row passengers. I have only once or twice in seven plus years done a ‘follow-up’ spot for the column, but here is this week’s illustration (last week’s companion spot is in the previous post).

On the Road was about fliers who pay extra for the exit row seat, and FAA concerns that the emergency duties of the exit row can be performed by those passengers.

Science was about how iguanas listen to the distress calls of a certain bird (with whom they share a common predator) as a warning of danger.
