Latest project / Sanford and Son Tell all book

Sanford and Son remains my favorite TV show of all time. I'm not even sure Redd Foxx liked it as much as I did. So, imagine my surprise when I received a call from Demond Wilson (Lamont) seeking to use my homage illustration (posted on this very blog in October of 2007). After a short time of discussion, I completed the Design of the dust jacket for his new book: "Second Banana: The Bittersweet Memoirs of the Sanford and Son Years." Demond was an awesome client and has become a dear friend over the course of this project. Please go and grab a copy of this book ASAP. 2ndbanana.net

Anatomy of a Rush deadline illustration

A lot of times, there are only a few hours to get something conceptualized and out the door. Here was one from today that I was pretty happy about... all things considered. To me, the trick is having a staple of solutions that are efficient, expressive and non-filtery.'

Here is the rough pencil drawing, and the grey scale magic of Photoshop.
