Amelia's Anthology of Illustration






































AMELIA'S ANTHOLOGY IS OUT!!! I was asked by Amelia from Amelia's Magazine to create an exclusive illustration depicting a certain renewable energy resource. I was given the technology of Power Plastic. It functions in the same way solar panels do but instead of being big and bulky, they are thin sheets of plastic making them more versatile. In this case entire buildings can be wrapped in this. My idea was to imagine the city as a circuit board where things such as light posts could be plugged into the buildings, monuments or anything with surface area. Crazy? Maybe...but thats what it was all about. It's all about getting the illustrator and their fantasy to shed light and creativity on an otherwise seemingly clinical topic. If we're going to save the world let's make it look beautiful in the process!! 39 other illustrators from around the world were featured in the anthology, all of whom are extremely talented. It was an honor to be selected as one of them.

You can find the books in select stores or online HERE. Also be sure to check out Amelia's web-blog HERE...always the best!
