Did Fleming RESUCE Churchill? has been getting some nice review treatment of late. Everyone love's Mr. Giblin's timely treatment of the research issues in the internet age. Personally, I couldn't agree more :)

This question, and at least several others are explored and answered with satisfactory gumption in this new book by Sibert Award winning author James Cross Giblin. Mr. Giblin has made a career of writing well researched, engaging non-fiction on everything from John Wilkes Booth to Milk.
In Did Fleming Rescue Churchill?, he turns his own profession on end and tells the story of a fictional fifth grader putting real research challenges to their ultimate test - a three-page biography of Sir Alexander Fleming!
It was my great pleasure to create a few simple black & white illustrations to accompany this text, and the fine folks at Booklist recommend that "librarians and teachers will want several copies on hand."
To argument here!

I'm working on some commission drawings right now. This is the first of them, Nosferatu! I had a lot of fun with this and am actually going to be a little sad to part with it.

This is a t-shirt illustration I recently did for 100 Damned Guns. For some reason I was in a bit of a drawing funk after the holidays, but this pulled me out of it!

I recently took on a part time retail job to earn a little extra money. When things are slow, I've gotten into the habit of quickly trying to doodle some of the strange people that I see wandering around in the mall.

This is a little illustration that I just re-discovered on my hard drive. I did it a while ago for the newspaper here in Syracuse. There were a couple others that went with the same article, I'll have to try to dig those up too.

This is just one from a series of almost thirty little ghost paintings that I made in late 2006.

I scribbled this into a friend's sketchbook a few weeks ago at SPX.
