Last week, I did an interview for the podcast show "Escape from Illustration Island".  The host, Thomas James, asked me some really great questions about how I do the work I do, my toys, etc.

To Snip Or Not To Snip?

People have always expressed strong opinions about circumcision.  Is the practice really outdated or are there medical reasons to support it?  Some medical research in Africa indicates that circumcision lowers the transmisison of HIV among male hetrosexuals - although there's no American studies like that.  Pediatricans no longer recommend it and the practice has declined drastically in recent years down to 50%.   So what are new parents to do?


This illustration was created for the Mother Jones and art directed by the fabulous Tim Luddy.  It will be in the March/April issue and hits the stands on February 18th.

I always enjoy assignments where the client wants me to create both the type and the illustration.  I have a great fondness for typography  - okay, you might say it's more of an obession.   Here is an illustration created for The Chicago Reader, art directed by Paul Higgins.
