Society of Illustrators show Jan 2020

Here I am in front of one of my pieces that is up right now in the annual exhibition at the Museum of American Illustration at the Society of Illustrators on East 63rd street in Manhattan. The work will be published in their next annual book.  It’s an honor to be in this show, as it’s kind of like a yearly “academy awards” for illustrators.

I have two pieces in the show this year, both were created for Easton Press’ new version of “1984” by George Orwell. The book was beautifully produced and designed by Michael Hendricks and Michael Baldyga, who both did a wonderful job on the design and production of this limited edition collectors item.

In the next photo is Danielle Demico, the director of the Juxtapose Gallery, who came to the opening with her son.  Thanks so much for coming guys!

The show and opening were wonderful.  Thanks everybody!”

My jazz musician prints are up right now in an exhibition of contemporary etchings at The Old Printshop Gallery at 30th street and Lexington avenue in Manhattan.

Also pictured here is Michael Decirbo, the director of the contemporary print collection at the Old Printshop, who is holding one of his etchings and standing in front of mine.

was held at the Robert Blackburn Printmaking Workshop last weekend.

Please go to see the show at the The Old Printshop Gallery if you would like.  Included in the show are some of the real heavyweight etchers of the last 100 years

Young New Film Maker

Film by Harry Waldman

Film by Harry Waldman

Harry Waldman has his own unique style and vision that is worthy of note. His films, Bay for Blood and Enter the Room, are visceral, intense, human condition tragedies that are powerful and explosive. I was delighted when he asked me to help him work up some rough sketches for the poster designs of both these films. I highly recommend these short, fast paced, gut wrenching films. Take a look at the trailers for Bay for Blood and Enter the Room.

P.S. I like his name also!

I recently illustrated 1984 for Easton Press. What an honor! I have always dreamed of illustrating this novel, and Easton Press is the book publishing company that produces the finest and most beautiful books ever! I really put my heart and soul into this job. I worked with Michael Hendricks on this, and he was wonderful to work with. Thanks Michael!
