I recently worked with Sarah Norwood over at St. Louis Magazine to illustrate the intro spread for their article on Bob Cassilly. Cassilly was a legendary sculptor in St. Louis - it's hard to drive around the city without seeing one of his larger-than-life-size sculptures. He recently died in a tragic bulldozer accident (while working on a new project), and this article beautifully summed up his life, career, and memory.
If you've never been to St. Louis, I urge you to take a trip here and visit the City Museum, Cassilly's masterpiece and one of the most fun places I've ever been.
The illustration was almost as fun to draw - tons of zany things that normally wouldn't fit together splashed together in one spread. A praying mantis, two airplanes, a butterfly, turtle, apartment building, giraffe, and a school bus all in one picture? Madness!
