Last week I got to do an illustration for Bill Simmons’ annual NBA Trade Value column on Grantland- a recurring article I’ve been reading for the better part of a decade! The Lord of the Rings and the NBA playoffs make for strange bedfellows, but my inner 12 year-old had a lot of fun with the pseudo-comic book feel for this one.
Note: This image is slightly different from the one that went to print. There were a few things I wasn’t totally happy with on deadline day, but you can see the original by clicking the link above.
New illustration for The Classical as part of their fantastic Why We Watch article series- I’m pretty excited about it!
Thanks to David Roth- this was a fun project.
I got such a positive response to my baseball windup series that I decided to apply the same concept to great jump shots. Reggie Miller is, appropriately, the first to bless this ongoing pictorial celebration of the most distinctive shots in NBA history.
Another new piece for The Classical today - a great article by Zac Crain who chronicles the weird, enigmatic and ongoing career of Jerry Stackhouse.
An ongoing pictorial exploration of baseball’s greatest windups and deliveries.

While working on a Gingrich/Romney piece for Bloomberg last week, I was reminded of this piece that I did for The New York Times back in 2008. It’s amazing to think how much the political landscape has changed in three and a half years, while somehow not changing that much at all.
New illustration today for The Bloomberg View!
Thanks to AD Gary Fogelson, one of my favorite collaborators.
Spot illustration for The Epic Adventurer. The article it is associated with (More on Money) deals primarily with getting the best bang for your buck while traveling.
Here are a few simple illustrations I did for The Nit Picker. The Nit Picker is a Boston-area home health care service specializing in the manual removal of head lice. These drawings illustrate different hairstyles that can be worn to reduce the risk of transmitting head lice from person to person. It’s gross and pretty, all at the same time!
The other images are taken from other print and web based jobs I did for The Nit Picker detailing the horrific experiences associated with head lice infestation…
