Happy New Year. You’re probably wondering what happened. Nothing happened. Everything happened. I’ve been working with some great partners at Mag+ to help bring print media to the iPad since last spring to put out app titles like Outside and Maxim. I’ll have some samples up soon and more photos of places and sandwiches and things.

I submitted some new illustration work to Australian INfront in part because I want a new Wacom tablet and in part because I secretly want to move to Melbourne.
