bicycle times 011 spots.

here are two spot illustrations i did for the 011 edition of bicycle times magazine. my pictures were suppose to accompany a contributor's letter talking about how a liberal audience can discuss and join together with more conservative folk on the positive qualities that bicycling offers us as americans. i ended up scraping my original drawings for these two and busted theses out the night before and i am much happier with how they turned out.

a friend of mine by the name of stephen haynes, was just recently hired as the art director for bicycle times magazine, an international magazine for the cycling enthusiast. i'm very appreciative that he asked me to do the cover for his first issue there, and this is about how it turned out. thanks, again to stephen and all the nice folk who took a moment to tell me that they liked it.

bicycle times finish?

here's where i ended up. not sure yet if they want any revision on it.

bicycle times cover progress.

i've been fortunate enough to be creating a cover for pittsburgh based magazine bicycle times. a good friend of mine that i used to work with is now the art director of the magazine and i have been working with him to get this where they need it to be. he basically left the theme up to me and i'm not quite sure why i decided to go in this direction, but it makes sense to me i guess. i like riding and it's my first cover gig, so i'm just running with that. i believe this is distributed out and about most of the world, so that's interesting. here's where i'm at thus far, i wouldn't doubt some colors being adjusted , but i'll probably keep mostly with what i have going on. the second version with the jagged background lines was nixed, which was a bummer. until then.
