These trucks are nearly ready to hit the roads around Providence, RI. I illustrated all the art — from pencil layout to final vector files, ready to print on the vinyl. Quite a process. I'm moderately proud of figuring out a workflow that was — excuse the pun — relatively seamless. Art / creative direction by Maureen Maloney at Ovoo Creative.
The vinyl, applied to the first truck. (Better photos are coming!)
Final pencil stage.
Final illustrator art on a provided template.
These are some recent personal pixel explorations.
I'll add to this post in the morning... but for now, here's the illustration.
Morning edit:
The illustration accompanies an article about Ava Chin, author of Eating Wildly: Foraging for Life, Love and the Perfect Meal
Here is the article
Here is the book: Eating Wildly by Ava Chin at Amazon

Some scratchy, sketchy messing around. #bear
Two St. Joseph of Carondelet nuns with roughly parallel "career" paths at their 50 and 60 year anniversaries. No habits (not used by these nuns) and portraits really aren't my thing, so I took a simple approach.
Got these from the art director a few days ago... I always love seeing what the AD does with illustrations + type design + composition.
For an article about media merger contention titled: "Fox, Time Warner Prepare to Make Their Cases", it seemed obvious (after I thought of it) to use a comic style dot screen (Roy Lichtenstein!!) approach for a fox and a certain blue bird engaging in a playground game of one-upmanship.
Did this in July for an article about a San Diego man approaching his 100th birthday, who operated large equipment for his weekday job and spent his weekends as Cantor in his synagogue. It was a challenge to illustrate this. I'm pretty happy with this solution.
