The Darkness That Blew My Mind.
Outside asked me to draw 82 hours alone in total darkness. I let the dark fill the page and kept a single small glow at the center, where the figure lies curled up.
On Outsourcing My Father.
A young player alone on an empty court, and in his shadow an older man lying still. I made this one for The New Yorker and tried to keep it quiet.
Your Guide To Brussels.
The cover for POLITICO’s special guide to Brussels. I drew a man in a suit leaping over the city’s gardens, because nobody learns the rules here before they arrive.
The Music Industry.
For GQ I drew the music industry from the stage: the performer in the spotlight, the crowd in red silhouettes, and two crew members half lost in the haze, the part of the show nobody sees.
The First Magician On The Vegas Strip.
For The New Yorker I drew the first magician on the Las Vegas Strip as a woman in a midnight-blue gown, with a huge moon of light behind her and a shadow that has too many hands.
Loneliness Kills.
For a piece on how loneliness can literally harm us, I drew one person with a laptop in a room full of violet and hot pink, and a crowd of silhouettes behind them that never quite becomes company.
The Long Corner.
For the New York Times Book Review’s take on Alexander Maksik’s The Long Corner, I drew one man on a pink path under a sky that’s about to change.
Can We Fix Our Relationship With Our Parents?
For Mr Porter’s piece on repairing the relationship with our parents, I drew a seesaw: the son at one end, his parents far away at the other.
La Vuelta al Fútbol
I drew the cover for La Vuelta al Fútbol, a book of 80 stories about the game: a kid, a ball and a field of green, because for most of us football starts that way.
Fight / Issue 26.
The cover for Volata issue 26, themed lucha, the fight. I drew a lone cyclist on a dirt road facing an enormous wall of red rock.
Un Juramento Escarlata
For Adriano Moreno’s fantasy debut I drew an armored heroine floating through a night sky of swirling blue light, red against all that cold.
The View Through Sound.
For Maize Magazine’s spread on how music, and the way we listen, shapes us, I drew a pianist alone in a blue room, lost in the sound.
Taking a Shot.
I wanted to catch a basketball player from behind in the instant before the shot, arms up, with a soft, dreamlike sky taking the place of the court.
Big On The Screen.
For Maize Magazine I drew a city scene where a vintage convertible bursts out of a billboard, and the only people who notice are the ones with their eyes on the street.
The Deadly Leap of Crime Fiction
For Babelia, the cultural supplement of El País, I drew a noir scene in olive greens to go with a piece on crime fiction.
33 Ways to Stop Worrying About Everything.
For Mr Porter’s feature on letting worries go, I put a man in a bubble bath and let the bubbles spill out into the hallway, a whole house of soap bubbles floating by.
The Art of War
For this edition of Sun Tzu’s classic I drew a warrior on horseback in ornamental line work, all of it set against a saturated red.
Ideas Are What Shape History.
For Maize Magazine’s piece on how ideas shape history, I drew a film crew and a lone soldier on the same coral-lit ridge, as if the camera and the war shared a horizon.
