Spring Ilustrations - Jason Raish
Tuesday, June 04, 2013

 


spot for golf magazine.  Its the monthly rules guy column, this one is about if it's ok to fix your club during play.  the answer was yes.  2 slight variations here.
 

 

cover of the op-ed page for the Boston globe some sunday.  It was my first time working for the Globe.  I had a chance 3 years ago but when they called I was just about to embark on an epic journey through the mountains of southern China so I could'nt do the the assignment.  This one is about the lack of theatre space for the growing and already huge theatre scene in Boston.  Lost color on the page, but that's a normal occurrence in the news biz.
 

 

spot for the wall street journal on some sunday.  It's about a non profit who deals with Health care gripes.

Books Issue - Kult Singapore
Monday, April 29, 2013

 
 I was asked to be part of the "Books" issue by Kult, an agency in Singapore. We picked a book that we liked and has effected us. I chose "Collapse" by Jared Diamond, author of pulizter prize winning "Guns, Germs, and Steel". Collapse is his follow up to that book discussing the collapse of civilizations such as the Mayans, Easter Islanders, and even Modern Haiti. Excellent reads both books!

Mon prémiere travail en France (my first job in france)
Tuesday, April 09, 2013

Mon prémiere travail en France. my first job in france. Le Nouvel Observateur is one of the biggest new magazines in France.  I did a full page and a spot illustration for them.  emails and communication were in french so it really was a "french" job.  story is about dating services for the rich.  There is one that is 5,000 euros to join.  some of the clients make crazy requests like they must be 1 meter 82 centimers, Argentine, a surgeon, own a helicopter, graduated from Harvard, etc....

Collapse
Tuesday, February 12, 2013

Collapse is a non fiction book by Jared Diamond, the author of Guns,Germs, and Steel. Collapse is about the collapse of great civilizations like the Mayans, Easter Islanders, etc... there are something like 7 factors that seem to cause the downfall of societies. One that seemed to be uniform throughout was that they would cut down their trees, the soil would blow away and then they were f'd. The Easter islanders were a totally isolated island so they are the perfect study for collapse. The warlords kept trying to outdo each other by building bigger statues (Moai) using up the islands resources. The huge red rocks on top were supposed to be especially impressive. One sentence resonated with me was "What did the Easter Islander who cut down the last palm tree say while he was doing it?” His answer was something like when you're in there you don't realize it and you can't realize that you could be responsible for all this. The correlation between these past fallen societies and today are made, because we are making the same mistakes. It is great (but a depressing) read. One big thing i took away from this is, cut down all the trees and you're f'd.

Sketchy in Paris and Madrid
Friday, February 08, 2013

Some pages from a hemp paper sketchbook where i sawed off about 25% of it so it was taller and skinner.  I like this wide format.  As you can see I haven't really had the time to take advantage this wide format that much and have just been using it as a regualar sketchbook
