Cover for The Week.

New York is getting wacky again. Cool!

This was for Crains NY. Last week. Lloyd Blankfein and John Mack. CEO’s who now have to watch their budget. In other news…

I’m having an art show at Manhattan Classic Car Club. 250 Hudson Street at the corner of Hudson and Broome. It is my fine art stuff which involves some nudity that would never be seen on my illustration website. It would be banned by every spam/firewall/scary work filter crap around. Not good if you want an art director at work to visit your site! My fine art site  (fharper)is a little more personal and not so worried about work sensors. Probably why I don’t make a living as a fine artist! Anyway, if you’re in NYC next week, (Oct. 28th 7-10pm) please stop by!… That’s a ‘67 Chevelle SS 396 big block V8. and it purrs like a pissed off dragon.

Sports Illustrated took the week off, so I think I have a bit of leisure time coming, nope. Wall Street Journal called me up Fri about 2 hours before I was to attend a party for my art director at The Week. Brett is moving on from The Week and taking a new position as editor-in-chief/creative director for Islanders Hockey magazine. I think his codename for it is paradise. He’s a huge Mets and Islanders fan, which is good since they both use the same garrish orange and blue colors. This is where I wish Brett the best and say what a pleasure it’s been working with him for the last 7 years at the magazine. Hopefully he doesn’t somehow lose my number while moving to his new digs! So with that I post a WSJ illustration done for Dan, another art director whom I’ve worked with for at least 10 years now.
