TAMPA BAY TIMES

A few weeks ago, an inquiry arrived from Art Direcotor Suzette Moyer of the Tampa Bay Times. She was looking for someone to illustrate a museum preview story for a cover feature section. The article looks at 8 museums in the Tampa Bay area (Dali, Fine Arts Museum, Ringling, Tampa Art museum, photo museum, etc). It previews the year and there are no specific works coming to Tampa this year that are standout so the writer took a generic approach by focusing on single museums when new shows arrive. The theme and direction I recieved was “the museum experience.” This was a tough one! Here are a few of my sketch concepts (we flipped the specs width and height at the last minute) along with process photos and the final image that ran this past weekend on Sunday, September 2nd. Many thanks to Suzette and Paul for the opportunity. All images copyright 2012 Wayne Brezinka.

The Catholic Health Association

Recently, I was contacted by The Catholic Health Association asking if I would be interested in illustrating some articles for their November / December 2011 Journal. They requested my pen and ink style. The issue is devoted to problem solving in urban core and inner cities regarding healthcare and aid. We started with the article "Embracing Our Cities" which ended up making the cover. There are an additional 9 illustrations featured throughout. A few of those samples are shown here. Thanks to all the kind folks at CHA! To all the wonderful AD's I've worked with over the years . . . pen and ink is a style that I offer in addition to collage and mixed media. Looking forward to working with you soon!
