As I approach the end of my time at String Letter Publishing, designing for Strings and Acoustic Guitar magazines, I'm starting to archive some of my old work. I realized that over the last 20 months, I've done quite a few illustrations for various magazine articles and features. So before they get locked in my vault of an external hard drive, I thought I'd share them here.
My first illustration for Strings magazine. The article was about tips on memorizing music.
The topic was about performance anxiety. I love the "Gong Show" reference and the elaborate limbs of the player.
This is the first time that I've made a hand-drawn font that I'm proud of.
This is one of my submission for the String Letter Publishing 2010 holiday card. Gotta love those treble clef snowflakes.
A technical illustration for all the parts of a cello bow.
A pretty generic illustration for an article about cello and bass pieces.
A little Alice in Wonderland reference for a story about Paganini's 24 Caprices.
It's hard to make bows look interesting. This was for a feature about conterfeit bows.
A quick illustration for a co-worker who wanted an illustration for her blog post about frustration.
Thankfully, brainstorming ideas for the United Airlines holiday card years ago at SGDP paid off when I needed come up with a non-religious holiday card for SLP.
This was for an article about instrument loans.
The contributer for an article didn't have a decent photo of herself, so I took one of her photos an illustrated this. As I recall, I used a cheap BIC pen for the entire thing.
A zen-like illustration about life in the Internet clouds.
I love this how-to illustration for an article about being more of a rock star. I was disappointed to find out that Peter Townsend actually strums his guitar in the opposite direction for his windmills.
A pretty generic illustration for gaining a following on the Internet.
This photo composite was for a feature titled, "The Usual Suspects", but eventually got killed when they changed the headline.
