Money for Life - Illustrations for AARP Bulletin

HAPPY NEW YEAR! I have been terrible at keeping up with the blog lately. SO I’m posting two different entries today, one focusing on the article in the title above and a separate post about my entirely different oil painting/fine art. Two posts in one day! Making up for lost time! ANYWAY…..

I created a series of illustrations for the December 2018 edition of the AARP Bulletin. The article by author, Jane Bryant Quinn, is called “Money For Life” which is her simple, easy-to-use formula to make sure you never run out of cash. The article is split up into different case studies with illustrations that I’ll list below. Scroll down to see.

Case Study 2 - Retiree Living On Social Security Benefits

Case Study 3 - City Dwellers Living Well

Case Study 4 - Working Woman Ready to Quit and Have Fun

Illustration for Seattle Met

I was recently asked by Seattle Met to create an illustration for an article about the city's 15 +  year political "war" going on over the Burke-Gilman bike trail between the shipping industry and those who are champions of the trail. You can read the full story here.  Many thanks to Sara at Seattle Met for the art direction!

Portrait of Mandy Moore for AARP

I just did this portrait of Mandy Moore for the AARP Girlfriend Newsletter. Many thanks to Dian Holton for the Art Direction!

Smart Phone Separation Anxiety - for Washingtonian Magazine

Here is an illustration that I did for the February issue of Washingtonian Magazine. The Article, written by Courtney Vinopal, is about how many summer camps ban electronics, creating both happy and unhappy campers and parents.  Thanks to Kellie at Washingtonian for the Art Direction!
