My career in graphics began in the early 1970's, when I was given the opportunity to make drawings for The American Spectator (which was known by a different title back then). Subsequently I moved to New York City, and worked for a time at the printmaking studio run by the late Robert Blackburn. Subsequently, I worked for a number of years as a free lance artist, making weekly drawings for the New York Times Book Review. Then I worked for the daily NY Times, illlustrating a weekly column. I then moved on to similar weekly assignments for the Wall Street Journal. That work ceased around 1996. After a fallow period I became the designer, art director, and staff illlustrator of the Claremont Review of Books, which has been my chief employer since 2001.
