widows & orphans

I like to design stuff. I take pictures of things in my life; I write about it. Occasionally, I make art. "I know myself, but that is all." I am a morning person. cierrapedro.com

I'm usually not entirely happy or really proud of a lot of the illustrations I get to create for work, but this week I am. Here's an illustration I created of our food critic, Al Mancini, enjoying some of the items off his 'Best.Meal.Ever' list which is featured in Vegas Seven's 2015 Restaurant Awards issue. I don't particularly like drawing —maybe it's insecurities of my skill level— but I'm really happy how this turned out. Unfortunately it's running only about an inch and a half small in print, but I'm proud of it.

“Plato suggests somewhere that memory is like an aviary inside your head, with all these birds flying around, such that you might reach in for a ringdove and accidentally pull out a turtledove instead.”
