Illustration Friday

Trouble: Bloody PowerPoint

The speaker is a CEO of a "fictional" company, running a company-wide presentation as a video conference. He's using a bunch of charts and projections to justify yet another round of layoffs. The "trouble" is that I have two weeks to find a new way of supporting myself. Why to the grunts always get RIFed while the six-figure salary guys get raises?

Growth: Sammy at 1369

Both photos were taken of me working in the 1369 coffee house in Cambridge MA. The first one was five years ago, when my son was just an infant. The bigger photo was taken this year.

What the Heck is Illustration Friday?

Think of it as a voluntary, client-free playground for illustrators. A topic is posted every Friday morning. Participants from around the world create, post and share their interpretations.

No Client? Why Bother?

At this stage of my career, I need a weekly public exercise to draw anything at all.
