i am really excited and honored to have my work appearing
in ‘illustrators unlimited’ by gestalten. it is a really beautiful book with a
lot of great work in it! available here.

‘Illustrators Unlimited presents the work of cutting-edge illustration talents scouted
from around the world. They are working independently from fleeting trends
and represent the best of the virtually inexhaustible possibilities of styles and
techniques that are practiced today.

The book is structured according to the featured illustrators. Each one is introduced
with a variety of representative examples of his or her work plus a text portrait
written by James Gaddy, a former editor at Print magazine. Whether created
by established names or fresh talents, the work collected here
has been chosen solely for its artistic merit.

The lavish images covering page after page and insightful accompanying texts
make Illustrators Unlimited a comprehensive overview of contemporary
illustration. The book is a definitive reference for clients looking to commission work,
for agencies, and anyone else who is interested in this
multifaceted creative medium.’

swerve magazine asked me to make some portraits of buddy dyrda, a young horseshoes phenom.
the accompanying article deals with how competing has helped turn his life around and
keep him out of trouble. it was fun to play up the rivalry between the older competitors and
the young hotshot.
