NY Magazine Comic



Comics, comics, comics.

Its funny how I'll get waves of the same kind of job sometimes; I got the call from NY Magazine illustrate this story just after I finished the INC comic that I posted a couple of weeks ago.

This ran in the Fall Preview issue of NY Magazine that came out last week. It's a fictional story about Hugh Jackman and Daniel Craig, who are starring in a show together on Broadway this Fall.

I did the same feature for NY Magazine last year, about Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes moving to NYC, but people seemed to get a lot more upset about poking fun at Craig and Jackman than about Tomkat. On the NY Magazine site the comments are pretty funny.

Between last year's and this year's comics, I find this one to be much funnier. I guess I just take Tomkat too seriously.

Have a great week,

Inc. Comic






In June, Inc. Magazine called me and asked if I could write a comic for their upcoming "500 Fastest Growing Companies" issue.

Aside from the fact that it was a comic, they were giving me the chance to write it myself. This is the first time I've gotten to actually write the text for a comic I've done for an illustration job. The most interesting part of the job was interviewing the subject of the piece, multi-millionaire Andrew Gross. During our conversation, he passed on to me the secret to becoming extremely wealthy. Thanks, Andrew!

Here's the final printed version of the story, in the current issue of Inc., on stands now.


Billboard Update



I'm still waiting for more pictures, but this is all I've been able to drum up so far. That white burst was added to the image after I got done with it, so I didn't have total control over it, but I still think it looks okay. One of these looks to me like it's a subway ad, and the other is a mural.


best,

Frank
