The above portrait of Jody Rosen was done quite a few months back for an illustration symposium in Nov. ’09 titled “Moving Pictures”. Presented by the Parsons Illustration Department, and moderated by illustrator/author/Parsons Prof. Lauren Redniss. The symposium focused on ideas of motion in illustration, and looking beyond animation to some unexpected ways motion figures in illustration. The symposium featured presentations by Richard McGuire, Joel Smith, Lauren Redniss, Jody Rosen.
I put together a display in the illustration dept. as a teaser to the symposium and included was this portrait of Jody as a map of London. His presentation was of a new book he’s working on: The Knowledge, about London, cartography, and taxi drivers.
