Editorial Illustration for Baltimore Magazine

This was an editorial illustration done recently for Baltimore Magazine. The story was about the Southside, a rum-based summer drink very popular in country clubs throughout the Baltimore area. Particularly, Elkridge and Green Spring Valley clubs have a rivalry about who makes the better drink. The story examined the “war” between the two clubs discussing who's was best. I was told that the Elkridge drink has a greenish-glow to it, because all of the mint is completely muddled in the drink and the Green Spring is more golden because it has a tangy, lemon flavor (garnished with WHOLE mint leaves). Also both have a dash of arrogance in them too...

Summer Interview Series

A little while back I was asked by Lorraine Reinsch to be interviewed for her blog over at lorrainedesign.com. She and I both passed through the same design and illustration program at Missouri State several moons back and have stayed connected via various social networking sites ever since. It was a lot of fun doing the interview, you can check out the full story here >> LINK

Thanks for the opportunity Lorraine!

Johns Hopkins Magazine

This was a recent illustration done for Johns Hopkins Magazine. It was for an article discussing Johns Hopkins plans to cut their carbon footprint in half by making improvements to buildings that are considered “heavy breathers.” According to the article: a “heavy breather” is a building that takes in, conditions, and puts out large volumes of air—a form of respiration that consumes a lot of power and creates a disproportionate amount of carbon dioxide emissions. Check out the full article here - Johns Hopkins Magazine.

Thanks again to Pam over at JHU too! It's always a pleasure working with you.
