50 Most Important People in Philly illustrations

.



Illustrator Graham Smith, worked closely with art directors Andy Zahn and Jesse Southerland, of Philadelphia Magazine to create 18 illustrated portraits for November's 50 Most Important People in Philly feature.





Art Director's Andy Zahn and Jesse Southerland created a fantastic layout for this ambitious feature. As they explained their idea, I was surprised to learn I was not illustrating The 50 Most Important People. The assignment was to illustrate Philadelphia Magazine's predictions of who will be shaping Philadelphia in the years to come, the people who did not make the list.

The illustrations were drawn traditionally with pen and ink. I inked right over the colored pencil under drawing, and use a brush to wash in the dark areas. Nothing fancy, just straight up old school pen and ink drawings. The illustrations were all created at the same size, using cut sheets of Strathmore 400, 80 lb premium recycled drawing paper.

Sketchbook Jam

.

Justin Froese, Tyler Olsen, Cord Williams by Graham Smith

Friday Night Sketchbook Jam at Studio Second Street in Encinitas. A band full of young kids played, while a roomful of artists drew in their sketchbooks. The crowd overflowed into the courtyard with eager listeners. A great time was had by all.

The kids took turns playing songs together and debuting their solo performances - one set of artists inspiring another. A wonderful night indeed. You can listen to Justin Froese's music, here.
