Wednesday: New Work by John Coulter for Seattle Met Magazine

Trina writes us:

“Hi Lilla,
This was a really straight -forward job – they knew what they wanted when I was commissioned – a drawing of a woman looking confused with the words describing her symptoms placed around her. Ultimately I love the challenge of coming up with ideas but equally sometimes it’s a nice change when the idea has been decided and I just have to focus on how the image will look – colour, line, composition, etc. to convey the message.”

Wednesday: Karen Tusinski’s gallery

John Coulter writes:

“Hi Lilla,

This is an illustration I did for the Las Vegas Weekly, for an article about a man who thought his ancestry was Nordic, until he took a DNA test that revealed his ancestors were Egyptian.
It was fortuitous that I could use the visual echo with the Las Vegas pyramid, The Luxor, and the Egyptian Giza pyramid.”

Friday: Window shopping

John Coulter writes us:

“Hi Lilla,
This was for an article in the Las Vegas Sun, about advertising on slot machines’ screens, while they aren’t being played. I can’t believe it took them this long to figure this out. I’ve included some close-ups to show the texture, and the original sketch.”

Wednesday: The Robin Zingone Project

“Hello Everyone!

This is the book cover for Head Design. They used the piece with the couple on the couch for the back cover.

Enjoy!

Friday: Trina’s recent work for a Speech and Literacy Magazine

Trina writes us:

“Hi, Lilla! This was an illustration for Midwives Magazine. The article was about monitoring women with diabetes during pregnancy. It wasn’t about massive interventions or anything just treading lightly but being aware…hence the stepping stones. I liked the idea that the three trimesters of pregnancy can relate to three seasons so I showed the woman passing through from early spring to late autumn.

The family I used to be a nanny for in London have a beautiful series of photographs in a frame of the mother as she progressed through her first pregnancy….and I remember being as fascinated by her changing hair cuts and seasonal outfits over the nine months as her changing shape!”
