Perhaps the biggest jobs break for the Beaver Valley since the steel industry moved out in the mid-80s. Shell Oil has tentative plans to build an ethane cracker plant in our backyard. Didn't hold back today on an inside cover and two others inside.
Paterno dies. My exec editor said to do a poster front, and I had already thought about doing this on the way to work. I wanted to stay with white and blue (reflecting the simple uniforms he championed) and boil down JoePa's legendary image, having…
We do billboard presentations on A1 every day now. In lieu of decent main art, I cooked up this teaser. Too bad I didn't wait a few hours for the Jonger to kick off.
Another miserable day on Wall Street. Pass the Pepto. Anyway, didn't want to run a straight-up fever chart or anguished trader, so I came up with the Aug. 8-ball. Amused myself, hopefully a reader or two ...
Local industry museum; showing some of the pieces and from where they came in the county.
Ooh-wee-ooh, looks just like Buddy Holly. Was sucking wind for art, so I duded up a promo to a review of a cool sounding album that multiple generations could like.
Had a wholelotta nothing for A1 art. Somebody robbed a power substation of copper wire (and caused a blackout) to get a few bucks. So, I created an illustration.
Illustration for a Sunday feature about online services offering cloud network music storage; some of it for free, some not. Lede of story dealt with the Beatles, so I tried a sort of nuevo psychedelic/surrealist style. It was fun.
Unusual suspects illustration. Done in haste, but it was fun. Thanks for Larry Howsare for his assist getting started.
We have a nuke plant just up the road. Japan sparked a lot of questions about our safety. So, I've grown tired of running photos of cooling towers and tried something different. I really wish those ads weren't on the page, but what can I do about…
No art for local stuff again, so I rolled my own. To me different is good; so that's what I tried to do with a wide-ranging budget-cut-pain package.
Presidents Day feature; who has the naming rights in our coverage area; there was a promo and intro on A1.
Wasn't sure we were going to get a verdict that night, so I cooked up the bball promo.
