Where is my Vote? show at SVA

Here is some press for the upcoming “Where is my vote?” show at the School of Visual Arts in New York that I helped organize. If you are in NYC please do visit us for the opening. The show consists of posters designed by significant designers worldwide to help support the democratic Green Movement in Iran. (I previously blogged about the details)

More work from the past!

Was I ever this young? Over twenty years ago, Applied Arts Magazine interviewed me. They have now republished the interview on their website: Thank you Stuart Thursby and Peter Giffen (who originally wrote the article.)  Please see:

Early work!

I thought it might be fun to find and publish some of my very early work…sort of a “that was then, this is now”. I painted this for Quest magazine, a now-defunct Canadian magazine after I left art school. The topic was male rage in response to the womens’ movement. Seems very dark to me now!

Another rejected New Yorker cover

This one was commissioned for the food issue. It’s Marie Antoinette baking cake!
