A Movement's Soul

It is the 50th anniversary of Dr. King's "I Have a Dream" speech so I thought it was a good day to post this assignment.

The theme of the September issue of Cobblestone is also music. I got to illustrate an article about how singing helped to unite people during the civil rights movement in the 50's and 60's. 

Here is the first illustration. I had a lot of fun working on this one.

Here Is the second illustration which was a bunch of portraits of musicians and MLK of course.

The third illustration was for a separate article about the children who marched in Birmingham in 1963.

Hatito!

Hatito! The September issue of Dig Magazine is about music. I illustrated this article about how Native Americans use song to help teach their children their native language.

Here is sketch I did for the assignment:

Appleseed Magazine - The Great Barrier Reef

The July/August issue of Appleseed magazine is about the Great Barrier Reef.  I did a couple of illustrations for the issue.  The art director asked me to reuse part of one of the illustrations I have done in the past for one of their other magazines.  No problem! ;-)
