Illustration Next by Ana Benaroya.

This book examines contemporary illustration by pairing up illustrators to address an assigned theme and collaborate in the process. My theme with Josephin Ritschel of Germany was EXCESS. We each chose a kind of excess [me: excess of the body, her: excess of collecting], created a piece on our chosen direction, then did a piece on the other persons direction. This is my excessive collector, a young connoisseur and her dishes.

“The Connoisseur” was selected for inclusion in the Society of Illustrators annual exhibition and companion publication, Illustrators 55.

Tilt Studios / Baltimore

One hundred thirty four illustrators and designers participated in Baltimore’s version of this national event. It was organized in Baltimore by Tilt Studio Foundation, a Baltimore-based non-profit. The project is operating in support of Tree Baltimore. To date, the Urban Forest Project has been mounted in 7 different cities: New York, San Francisco, Baltimore, Denver, Toledo, Washington, DC and Albuquerque. All banners were sponsored by local institutions and later converted to large tote bags and sold online to support the project.

The project – an initiative of Worldstudio – was originally executed in New York’s Times Square in the fall of 2006. It was created to address a number of green, educational and creative initiatives in a variety of ways to shape a project that is unique and expressive of the local community.
