Portraits for Public CIO

Government Technology Magazine has a recurring supplemental issue called Public CIO. I have done portrait illustrations for it in the past and had the opportunity to create six portraits of industry leaders for it again this year which were then used on the cover and the interior spreads. (Clockwise from top), Rajiv Gupta, Robert Knapp, Tim Merrigan, Chris Atkins, Nick Psaki and Chris O'Malley. I really like how the dark background looks with the portraits that were originally drawn on a white background. Many thanks to Kelly at E.republic for the Creative Direction!

Illustrations for Public CIO Magazine

Good mail day! Copies of Public CIO Magazine, for which I was recently asked to  illustrate a spread, just arrived on my doorstep. I was asked to illustrate four different CIO's for an article titled, "Leading in the Limelight", written by Adam Stone.

Below are the spreads and close ups of the portraits. The art director was looking for something striking to go with the article layout and I thought that grayscale portraits with a pop of color would accent it nicely. The printed final turned out great!
