I was fortunate to have the opportunity to work with art director SooJin Buzelli of Asset International again. This time for the magazine PLANSPONSOR. This illustration was for an article titled “Having His Head Examined” about a man who is about to have brain surgery, and calls a day before to see if he has medical coverage.
I did this illustration recently for OPC Register – a quarterly magazine for Ontario’s principals and vice-principals. The article I illustrated was about how school’s can enhance their communities confidence in public education.
Here is a peek at the Masterclass tutorial I did recently for Digital Arts Magazine.

These illustrations are part of a winter postcard series that I’m working on. They will be made available for purchase once the series is complete. If you have any questions please feel free to get in touch.
So you may have noticed that things have changed a bit on my site. I decided that I wanted a site that was minimal, easy to navigate, yet fun. I opted for a minimal design that balances the really detailed and patterned nature of my illustrations. I hope you like it, and your feedback is more than welcome. Thanks! Jes
