After four years of illustrating the Hey You column for the OC Weekly, I’ve decided to move on to make more time for comics journalism and editorial cartoons. It was a very fun gig that I always allowed me a great deal of creative freedom. Onward!

Here are the three other cartoons I did for the ad agency DeVito Verdi for Duane Reade, a chain of drug stores in NYC. They are running them as caption contests in print and online. I’ll be one of the judges. The rat is a reference to an inflatable rat that is used by unions and commonly seen on New York streets.
Spec You Very Much
Hi again Matt
I sent you an email last week and I hadn’t heard back so I wanted to try you again. Flink12, a new social networking site, has put out a call for artists and graphic designers to take part in a Global Icon Art Competition. I thought that you and the readers of Illustration Friday Blog would be interested in this opportunity. We’re offering a minimum of $3,000 commissions to create feature icons for the site.
Hi again Brenda,
Um, pretty sure we covered this.

This is a great opportunity for artists and graphic designers to promote their work globally and possibly win a longer-term contract with us. (more…)

This cartoon is for a caption contest I was hired to illustrate by the ad agency DeVito Verdi for Duane Reade, a chain of drug stores in NYC. They are running four of these over the next few weeks in print and online. The art director, Tyler DeAngelo, and I came up with four New York specific themes. In this case, the “B” label is from the grades restaurants have to display in their window. Anything less than an A is considered bad news.
