I either have a very low opinion of Lady MacBeth, or am somewhat obsessed with her presence. In highschool, I was in three productions of The Scottish Play and co-wrote two satires (MacBeth Revisited, MacBeth Revisited Revised). I’ve seen the show a number of times and find myself doodling scenes from it from time to time—including this watercolor on wood painting of her reassuring her tormented husband and convincing him to hide the murder weapons. The latest is this vector drawing of Lady Mac retrieving the daggers from Duncan’s chamber and plotting her next move. Sadistic, wouldn’t you say? Either way, your feedback is certainly appreciated.

Aerial Virtual Tour of New York
Wow, I’ve just wasted an absurd amount of time on this web site. Other than the Jan Hammer music, the beauty and serenity of NYC from above is awe-inspiring enough to extend anyone’s lunchbreak an extra half-hour. Take a look at this VR presentation by PixelCase as you gently hover (or force-navigate) your way through New York City’s Central Park, Brooklyn Bridge, Times Square, Empire State Building, Chrysler Building and Downtown Manhattan.

NBC Universal Milestones Timeline
Broadway Video Senior Designer, Katherine Burke, approached my company (ERA404) to develop the ActionScript 3 interface for NBC Universal‘s 5-Year Anniversary project, entitled “Milestones.” The site, designed by Ms. Burke, is hosted on NBCUni.com and linked from NBC.com, NBCUni.com and UniversalStudios.com. The interface provides a timeline for users to chart NBC Universal’s major achievements over the past five years.

Windows 7 is faster, more reliable, and makes it easier to do what you want. Both the everyday things and the killer “is that really possible?” things. Dig into this site to see what’s coming.
Beautiful Children – Dutch Cover
I absolutely love this new cover for Charles Bock‘s Beautiful Children. We had the pleasure of doing his web site and viral marketing video a few years back (see it here in our portfolio and the press release) and Charles has always had kickass swag for the book (guitar picks, posters, cassette tapes, etc.). Playing wonderfully off this theme, the paperback for the Dutch version of the novel has the above gorgeous cover.
This is the type of work I long to do.
Sketchbook 3
Well, another year and I’ve got another sketchbook to show for it. I don’t know if you got a chance to see the previous sketchbook 1, sketchbook 2, or the illustrations I did for the global investment project, or the illustrations I created to accompany my short story, “The Change“, or the tarot cards that we created for Tina’s birthday. If you didn’t, have a look. Anyway, enjoy these sketches too. The photos didn’t come out so well so I might try again when I have more time. Read more
