Cookie Jar Illustration. (Click image to view larger)
If you've taken a look at your favorite magazine of late I bet you'll notice it's substantially thinner than in previous issues. Ad revenue is down, it's a reflection of the economic problems our nation is facing at the moment.
That said magazines still need illustration thankfully and "Oil and Gas Investor" magazine hired me to illustrate for an article dealing with some of the same ethical problems that caused the financial mess were in now.
You know, greedy corporate weasels stealing money. The context of this illustration was in regards to investing, specifically in oil futures. Most of these crimes are white collar and it happens on paper. So I decided to play off the old "hand in the cookie jar" metaphor.
I don't do a whole lot of editorial illustration these days but I still think they're fun to work on.
