Runner's World

Hey guys,

The following illustrations ran as a feature in an issue of Runner's World from a couple of months ago.

This was an interesting assignment, in that the story was completely changed early on in the sketching process. The feature was about a very steep race on Mount Washington. Mostly, the story focused on the psychological aspects of the race. I tried to get this to come through in the illustrations.

I always have fun drawing people running, for some reason, and this series was no different. I really enjoyed playing with the distortion in the opening image, and making the figures look hot and tired for the third piece. They're a little bit corny, but I think it's appropriate for the type of article it was.

Thanks for reading,


Frank

'Arry Pottah!

This spot illustration appears in the Movie Review section of the New Yorker that hit stands Monday, July 18, 2011.

I happened to be listening to the audio book of the Deathly Hallows when I got the call, so it was fairly lucky timing on my part to take on the job.

Here are my sketches. The main focus on this film is the conflict of Harry and Voldemort, so I decided to leave out secondary and tertiary characters. Here is a link to the review: http://tinyurl.com/69modbk
