PW Food & Drink Cover

Cover for Philadelphia Weekly's "Soul Food" themed food & drink issue. Awesome to work with them again & got me thinking about all the amazing soul food spots and street BBQ tents in west philly I've never tried.

Here's my original layout, they changed the background color and skewed it a little bit. Looks good especially in the PW honor box with some graffiti stickers and probably a half eaten box of fried chicken on top somewhere. Sketches and progress shots below. 

 Looking at pictures of jerk chicken and cornbread all weekend I couldn't take it anymore and headed over to Gigi & Big R a few hours after sending the final version of the cover. Delicious.

Chicken Show in Baltimore

Baltimore Citypaper art director Joe Macleod asked me to contribute something to this chicken-themed holiday art show. I'm not sure exactly what it's all about, but it looks amazing (scroll down & check out the video from last year). So I painted up some chicken art this weekend that made me want to go to Popeye's and get a bucket.
