This is Joey. This is Jet. They got good news.

It has been a while since I have thought about the Joey and Jet series since the last book was published in 2006. Recently I heard good news from Simon and Schuster about both books. “Joey and Jet” , which had been out of print, is being reissued in paperback while Joey and Jet in Space is now going into a second printing. Richard Jackson was the editor for both books and Polly Kanevesky was art director.

I have been meaning to create another book but frankly, work had turned my attention away for the last few years. This might be the push I need to get started.

You may find both books on Amazon.

School daze

Funny how life works. Late last year illustrator extraordinaire Hanuka Tomer and I were catching up at an opening. Hanuka is a former student of mine and was chastising me for not teaching the last few years. This left me with pangs of guilt. Couple of weeks later, Parsons School of Design calls and ask if I would be interested in teaching a course. How do you say no to karma? School starts next week.

Rein maker

Hopefully you haven’t put off holiday shopping to the last minute like the Yangs have this year. I even have less of an excuse since I was commissioned for a special holiday shopping section illustration for the Washington Post. Kim Vu, AD

Here there everywhere

One nice thing about the future is taking work with you has never been easier. With more powerful laptops, higher res screens, cheap storage, smartphones and Skype, there is no excuse to not change the view from the studio now and then.  I’m taking advantage of this by working out of Hong Kong for December.

It’s good to be an illustrator.

Be the club

It is not a secret golf is one of my passions. When Golf World called asking for an illustration describing the handicap system, the essence of the idea came quickly. The handicap scoring system allows players of different ability to play together on a level field. Eugene Wang, AD.
