Runaway Fast As You Can


May is here! Summer time is just around the corner. Unless you live somewhere thats hot year round, then I'm jealous and going to cry in a corner now. But for now here is a post for a recent illustration for Runners World!

The illo is for the Q&A ask the experts article. I choose to illustrate the question on how to run through a headwind. The answer focused on using your arms and core to "fight" through the wind. I really thought the image of fighting an actual wind would be fun so I went with that.

Here are some roughs!






As well here is the layout. It was an awesome experience illustrating for Runners World. They've been a dream client that I've wanted to illustrate for along time. Also honored to be with some great illustrators in the issue: Josh Cochran, Frank Stockton, Marcos Chin and John Hendrix!

Lastly I'm selling some prints over at Inprnt you can check the prints
