Last week I was contact by art director José Reyes to do a piece for byFaith Magazine, The Path of a Peru Paper Co. Card. José was great to work with–very fun and he provided great direction and feedback. In addition to a full page feature illustration, I also did spots outlining the paper making process.


In other news, I've been hard at work in the studio, painting, drawing, and sewing into wood (as odd as that sounds). It feels like things are continuing to fall into place and that with each piece, I'm able to better articulate myself. Head on over to Flickr to see more of what I'm up to.

I was going to wait to post this until the release date was nearer, but since it's been pushed back until spring, I'll do it now! This piece is my contribution to Eric Smith's project, Live Now.

From the website:
The Live Now book will be a collection of inspirational quotes and illustrations pursuing the notion of living a happy and engaged life. The book will roughly consist of 100, perforated pages that can be easily torn out and hung up or given away to spread smiles. Estimated arrival is April 2011, available through all major offline and online booksellers including distribution in America, Europe, Australia & Canada.

If you head over to the Live Now site or search through Flickr and Dribbble, you'll find glimpses of the amazing artwork done by a pretty stunning roster of artists, including Eric himself. I'm very honored and certainly humbled to be a part of this fantastic and inspirational project and can hardly wait to see the final piece, to be published by HOW Books. A big thumbs up to Eric for all of his work and his contagiously uplifting perspective on life.
