Kanye West from FHM Magazine

Mar 16, 2011

Tonight’s post is a manipulated caricature of Kanye West which was used in my first FHM magazine / Bauer Media commission. This is the right side of what was a two-page spread. The story I illustrated had five images of celebrities with a sort of cocky attitudes and the other four will be posted over the next few days. I also got an OK to post the second FHM commission so I have five more images coming in the next few days.

I hope you enjoyed. Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

New Commission from FHM Magazine

Mar 5, 2011

I received some good news this evening. I have been commissioned again by FHM Magazine to do a two page spread illustration. FHM Magazine is owned by Bauer Media Group. I discovered just tonight how large this company really is. The Bauer Publishing Group comprises 282 magazines worldwide in 15 countries, as well as TV and radio stations. I am very fortunate and truly honored to be starting my 4th commission for Bauer Media. This one is going to be cool…I hope. They are giving me free rein on this project only requiring that I use the two celebrities who will be featured and that it illustrate the story, obviously. I get to cut loose and make something crazy on this one, so it should be a lot of fun. I will keep you posted. BTW, The first 5-piece commission I did for FHM is out on news stands. I’m waiting on my case of magazines to arrive and I will post the work.

I hope you enjoyed. Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Project Update and Sneak Peek at a WIP

Feb 24, 2011

I was working away on the Tennis magazine commission tonight and really enjoying it. They had a really good concept and awesome high-resolution images of the subjects and everything needed for the job. I was really excited about it and thrilled that I get to work with such good material. Well, that didn’t last. What did they do? Yep, they changed their minds and are sending me all new source material. Oh well, that business. The halt in work gave me the opportunity to get back to work on a “secret” project that I’ve been working on for a few days now. It’s a pretty intense image. I’m posting a teaser like Dominic Philibert likes to do to his readers. Actually, I just wanted to let you know I am working and have a bunch of stuff to post in the near future. The 5-piece commission I did for FHM magazine – Bauer Media hits news stands next week so watch for it. I will have those 5 images to post once it is out as well as a couple other commissions soon. Well, here’s my sneak peek. See if you can tell what it’s going to be. There are a couple of clues.
