Maps

There's something about hand-drawn maps that can't be duplicated on a computer. The Raleigh-Durham Airport Air Show map provides a detailed guide to a small area, "How the Triangle Gets Around" gives a general sense of a large one, and the other two fall somewhere in between. But they're all accurate in their own way; it's not nice to make things up on a map.

T-shirts

The "Archie & Mehitabel" and "Cinderella" shirts were done for productions at Raleigh Little Theatre and include caricatures of the actors. The challenge with The Lost Colony shirt was to work in references to five different shows: The Wizard of Oz, The Frog Prince, a pirate show, a fairy show and The Lost Colony itself. I forget why one client needed a shirt showing condors playing musical instruments, but I suppose she had her reasons.

Fooling Around

Nobody commissioned these items. I just got the urge to create them and then finagled them into print. The genealogy of American political cartooning first ran as a two-page spread in Hogan's Alley magazine in 1998 and was reprinted in the Association of American Editorial Cartoonists' Notebook. The April Fool's Day magazine cover, the fake campus map, and the parody of the (Raleigh, N.C.) News & Observer Style section all appeared in the Independent Weekly, which also published my political cartoons.
