I got a request from Regine at Harborside Press wanting a cover illustration for The Journal of Oncology Practice, depicting cancer patients who had received organ donations.

The lengthy rectangular format of the image area leant itself to a row of people and I produced the pencil sketch below. On submission of the pencil sketch, below, I was asked shift the emphasis of the drawing to the patients rather than that of the donor as this was more in keeping with the focus of the accompanying article. It was an easy fix, the donor figure was shifted to the background and the recipients, lighter, and up front. Below the pencil sketch is an alternative colourway which was tried but discarded before the finished artwork was submitted.

Dallas Magazine got in touch requesting an image for an article about doubling the cancer survival rates for diseased kidneys. The copy discusses various methods of targeting the affected organ.

The Wall Street Journal got in touch requesting an illustration for their health section about the rising costs of healthcare and how those costs are being hidden. This was the finished illustration selected from a couple of sketched concepts.

Marc from Casual Astronaut got in touch and asked if I would be able to create a cover illustration for the first issue of The Vanguard, a magazine highlighting cancer research and treatment at UT Southwestern in Dallas. The brief was to illustrate the theme of transformative care from lab to patient. I supplied three sketches and this was the one chosen by the client. A request was made to subdue the visibility of the internal organs and to use a green/blue palette for the final artwork.

Kevin from D Magazine recently got in touch requesting an illustration to go with an article about 'deep brain stimulation'. This is a neurosurgical procedure involving the implantation of a medical device which sends electrical impulses to specific targets in the brain for the treatment of movement and neuropsychiatric disorders.
