February update

Here are some new illustrations from the past few weeks…

Joe Sharkey and I are coming up on 10 years doing the On the Road column together for the NYTimes Biz Day, I can’t believe it. It’s been a great and I hope it keeps going. The past few weeks stories include more negative feedback about blind bidding for hotels, travel tips from people “in the know”, the pre-check program for approved travelers and just how much companies are paying for “business” trips to the superbowl:

For The Wall Street Journal, this was for an article about how to interpret all those baffling letter classifications for mutual funds:

This feature for American Medical News was for an article about doctors racing to file quality reporting before the deadline. After sending lots of ideas, we went with a less conceptual and more dramatic treatment (and I got to try out a new palette):

I just updated Drawing Science with some new and some old work, and here is last week’s Science Times illustration about how bad weather conditions cause birds to “divorce” (insert Stormy Weather joke here):

This update is way overdue…

For the Boston Globe Magazine, this was one of my favorite illustrations of the year so far – it was for an article about a couple who spent three painfully hot days in July at an Arizona golf camp:

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:

And finally Crain’s New York Business on executive compensation and how some CEOs are going along with new pay structures (and some aren’t):
