I also wanted to mention that there is a nice feature on my work in the May/June issue of Communication Arts magazine. A big thank you to Rebecca Bedrossian, who was nice enough to come visit my studio here in Brooklyn, and Antonio and Anthony, who make me sound better than I deserve.

Prospero

Two new projects for Tor, including a cover for Prospero Lost as well as an image for a wonderful short story that you can read here. It's always a pleasure getting to work for Irene Gallo, she's an amazing art director who has given me the opportunity to create some of my favourite pictures.

I'd also like to take the opportunity to thank Rick Lovell, Mike Lowery, and everyone at The Savannah College of Art and Design in Atlanta, for inviting me down to speak and being such wonderful hosts. I was lucky enough to be invited alongside illustration icon Anita Kunz, who has always been such an inspiration. Anita is as kind and generous as she is talented.

Society Gold

A small painting for an upcoming promotional project with my colleagues over at picture mechanics. It's acrylic and watercolour, on Fabriano 300 lbs hotpress paper. I monoprinted an iridescent, interference blue into the dark tones.

Also, I'm excited and honored to announce that I was awarded a gold medal from the Society of Illustrators, for my Book Review cover of Real World. A big thank you to everyone, especially Art Director Nicholas Blechman, without whom this never would have been made.

Soulpepper

I spent a large part of the summer working on a series of posters for Toronto's Soulpepper theatre. It was a long and intense process, and I came out of it having learned a lot. A big thank you to Anthony Swaneveld, for great Art Direction, Thai food, and Veterinary advice. It was a real pleasure getting to collaborate with such a supportive Art Director on an extensive project like this. I had the opportunity to experiment quite a lot, which ended up being the most rewarding part of the process I think. Thanks Anthony.

For the most part, the paintings are Watercolour and Acrylic on Fabriano 300 lbs watercolour paper, with some digital colour added at the end.In no particular order, the plays are:

Antigone
The Guardsman
Civil Elegies
Parfumerie
Of The Fields, Lately
Loot
Travesties
Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf
Glengarry Glen Ross
