A few side by sides of my illustrations for Emily-Rose Barry’s short fiction New England Home Magazine for the Comfort issue. The final piece in the magazine is on the left, while the right is the inked drawings. What a difference texture makes!

So the latest issue of our beloved Block Club Magazine is out, issue #30. We based this issues theme around the idea of Comfort. I was lucky enough to work on illustrations for one of the feature stories that focused on density and sprawl of cities and suburbs.
The idea we came up with was for one great big island that represents the big city, surrounded by smaller man made islands that everyone is now traveling from. Our thought was to show how we now isolate ourselves from each other, but still are connected to and yearn for the city lifestyle in some fashion or another. I also created closeup little landscapes of the suburbs, city and travel to top off each spread and to close it out a little sunset scene on the island city.

Summer twilight is a dream to me. Textures of trees, silhouettes of faces, shade, shine and mood.
