The Marketplace of Kabul
Here's an illustrative interpretation of a passage from The Bookseller of Kabul by Asne Seierstad. The passage describes a woman wondering through the bazaar, buying various items. She ends up at a cart with bras, and buys a "powerful corsetlike contraption".
The women in Kabul are required to wear burqas which have a small opening for the eyes - the grille. These are often in the shape of a hexagon, which I used as a framing device to suggest first point perspective.

Loretta Lynn!
I love Loretta Lynn's music (esp. the Your Squaw is on the Warpath album)! I got a chance to illustrate her for my Op-Art assignment. I wanted this piece to have an American folk art feel to it.
The painting ended up much bigger than I anticipated; the dimensions are 18" x 30".

Geoengineering
I had a chance to illustrate an article about Geoengineering for Op-Ed class. I decided to focus on the uncertain outcomes of this technology. The piece was influenced by face card illustrations; I wanted this reference to subtly hint that we are gambling with our future.
Here's the original article:
