Mozzy Ozzborne

Little spot for Alberta Oil about punishing companies that travel to countries like Chad and just drain specific locations of their resources. had fun trying to tie the location pin to a mosquito - due to the size i wanted to keep things nice and graphic

Such a good transformer...
Recent one for Orange Coast Magazine, about "fixing" cars that run too quiet

Murder she wrote

Was recently asked to do a cover for Broward New times (also running in Houston, and Miami) about the enormous amount of murder happening in Puerto Rico the last few years - many things are to blame - largely drugs, and police corruption - but things are out of control, you can be killed for almost no reason. Really wanted to show death being so common its forgotten about / over looked. the cover we landed on was a hybrid of a few ideas i pitched. i tried to get away with not using Puerto Rico's flag - and opted for showing location more, but in the end, it became an essential part of the concept.
some rejects:

Dino what you did last summer

The dangers associated with tiny (and useless) interest rates.

catch-up -

some recent work - more to come, bad at blogging these days

Hit the road Jack (not you, Jack Dylan)

 New one for Inside Counsel about employees taking their social media with them when they "hit the road" and leave a company. I've been painting with ink a lot lately, its a nice challenge!

Groceries!

Coupla new pieces for Canadian Grocer Magazine (yes, thats a magazine) about the current state of the grocery industry, here in Canada. First, and i really thought this was a fun idea (if you have to use a fever line, it better be reasonable) about the industry profit stall. wanted to have a really smart grocery related way to show stalling, or proceeding on its own time - ketchup seemed like a great way to show that - and what luck, its red like a fever line!

 the next was just the empty state of the industry in general - things look ok on the outside, but theres no substance.

and some roughs

flying along on a wing and a prayer.

Recently asked to do a cover for American Bible Society - the direction was about Christians speaking with non Christians about their faith - something that can be difficult to approach.
I submitted some ideas:

 this guy ^^^ is supposed to look like hes covering his mouth to yell, but also praying - turns out he just looks like hes sneezing. shit.

Then as it happens, they decided to go in a different direction, so I was asked to illustrate a full page instead, this time about Christians going out into the community and making it a better place for those who live their. This didnt need to involve selling Jesus, but rather being positive and contributing.
So, I sent in these ideas:

 Here is the final we went with.

 Thanks Timothy!
