One of my favorite editorial jobs is illustrating the Rolling Stone (music) Reviews section. This one was for the band Spoon and their new album Transference in this week's issue. Coincidentally, I'm a big fan of Spoon and lead singer Britt Daniels' southern mix of Rock, Punk and Indie music. Big thanks to the AD - Steven Charney!

Here is a trio of paintings that I finished up recently.

"Hindsight" was for The Year in Review issue in PLANSPONSOR Magazine.

This happy bear was for the "Best of" issue in PLANADVISER magazine. The article hightlighted their favorite recordkeepers and investment managers of 09.

This piece was for ai5000 for an article about dark pools. The initial direction was to have something beautiful coming out of a dark pool. I soon found out that "dark pools" are an actual financial trading term. "While their name is ominous and their operations complex, dark pool systems have been one of the financial industry's more useful developments in the last 20 years".

Last week I got a call from the New York Times to illustrate their special Holiday edition for today's Styles section. They needed 6 illustrations for a collection of stories about "Holiday Lies" told by an amazing collection of writers. It was a marathon of non-stop painting this week. Six paintings in a week were more then I can usually handle but I just couldn't turn this one down, especially for a section cover of the New York Times. Special thanks to the art director, Corinne Myller. Happy Holidays all!

Here is my lamp for the Enlighten "One Night of Lights" charity auction benefiting Inner-City Arts. I created this piece a while ago and I've always wanted to use it for something special. I used to do a lot of collage work and collected antique photos. During some rare free time, I created this Buzelli Family Portrait.

When I was in College, I actually taught a few summer art programs for Inner-City Arts in Providence. My illustration classes were filled with a lively group of elementary kids from Providence's lower income neighborhoods. It was one of my first stints at teaching and it was exhausting, eye-opening and extremely fulfilling. A great program!

The silent auction of table lamps by over 85 artists, including a few fellow drawgers, will be held tomorrow, Saturday Nov. 21 from 5-11pm in Culver City, CA. If you can't make it to the show, you can pre-order your lamp before the event. Tornado Design produced a limited edition of 3 each.
