Here’s a mural I did for a local high school newspaper staff room. I really enjoyed working on this one!

Staff of the Chinese Weekly, about 1925, Hennepin, Minneapolis.

Members of the Twin Cities Chinese community, under the leadership of Henry Yep, published a Chinese-language newspaper called Sing Kee Po (Chinese Weekly). Each issue included foreign and domestic news as well as advertisements for Chinese businesses.

Why Did a Hasidic Newspaper Photoshop Women Out of a Pic?

Dear Jew in the City,

I would like to know what your thoughts are on the recent articles about the newspaper Hamevaser’s photoshopping of female leaders out of the photo of the French Unity March in Paris the other day. By the way, I love your site and I’ve gained a lot of insight into how to be a more observant reform convert.

Thanks,Steve

Dear Steve…

The photo was inspired from Luke Campbell’s first solo album I Got Shit On My Mind…Thank you Luke for all the great beats in the 90’s….Looking forward to the 2 Live Crew Reunion tour coming soon to a city near you…Later……

Had the pleasure of working with the super careful Lizzie Hart (AD) at this piece for the Wash Post last month and know more about Cameron Mackintosh, the producer behind most of the all time BroadwayBusters Plays of the last couple of decades.

Coincidences: In the last couple of months I’ve been commissioned twice by the same magazine, The Washington Post, to make an opening Illustration and a spot one for two different issues/sections of the newspaper. AD were different and I’ve my reason to believe (too long and boring to explain it here) each one of the two art director doesn’t know I’ve worked with the other.

Funny thing is theme were pretty much the same, even if treated from a different point of view each time. First Date was basically the main theme here.

An extra has been a series of three mini line-drawing illustrations depicting the suggested path form the perfect 1st to the 3rd date. 

Bonus track to this post: one of the sketches that didn’t make the cut. I’d would have liked to see it finalized despite the chosen cover thrilled me as well. I’m sure I’ll bring this to the final stage for my own pleasure as soon as I’ve a bit of free time and no deadlines.
