Nutter and Rocky

Here's a nugget from a job about Philadelphia local & seasonal food that was never published. Rocky shopping for organic produce and Mayor Nutter chowing down on a grass-fed burger from South Philadelphia Tap Room.

It's always a bummer when stuff gets the axe and maybe they thought the portrait of Mayor Nutter was too "cartoony" or "caricature-ish" but I think Nutter is great and would love to see him chowing down on some hamburgers.

Sketches

Behind every finished piece of art is a trail of sketches, scribbles, mountains of crumpled tracing paper and unused concepts. Sometimes I look back and wish I could incorporate some of the looser compositions into finished pieces.





I'm absolutely in awe of artists who go right from a blank page to finished product - including people that do super realistic, tight work, I can't even fathom how this is possible.



This drawing of Philly mayor Michael Nutter I thought turned out awesome and was of bummed that the job it was for was never printed.

Anyway seriously if anyone cares about these things I will send you hundreds of sketches for a few bucks, otherwise most of them go right in the trash.
