Lately I’ve had the opportunity to have my work featured in one of Portland’s local papers, The Portland Mercury. I’ve been a Merc fan for a while so it’s been great to be involved. The assignments I’ve gotten so far have been a lot of fun and I hope to do more. Here are the pieces I’ve had printed so far.

I probably over did the detail on this one, considering it was only going to be a 5×4 spot illustration. I really liked the concept from the art director though, so once I got the idea in my head there was no scaling it back.

Over doing it on my last spot illustration probably got me this one. A featured piece for the cover story! With no size constraints I was really able to cut loose and it ended up filling most of the page. That’s pretty cool. I had a lot of fun drawing this one.

The first one I ever did for the Merc. I wasn’t sure how it would read in print so I kept it pretty simple. Probably too simple.
Yes, sir! My name in print!
