Japanese Debut

Sketches and final illustrations crisscrossed many time zones during the Summer as I began working with KF Design, designer of Asia-Pacific Perspectives : Japan+, a Tokyo-based publication offering readers insight into contemporary Japanese culture and society. Recently in the magazine my work accompanied an article about the shifting Japanese diet which is seeing more western, non-traditional foods at the table.

Internet Health Myths

Sneaking in before the last of the hot days were over, I created ten illustrations for Health & You magazine for a feature story about health-related myths on the Internet. Apparently the word on the 'net is that, among other misnomers, Costa Rican bananas cause flesh-eating bacterial disease. I was in Costa Rica earlier this year, ate plenty of bananas, and can personally attest that this is truly a myth and that snakes are the thing to watch out for there, not the produce! Thanks to HealthInk for the project.
