Peter Fasolino's illustrations cover the spectrum of Children's Books, Editorial and Advertising art as well as Caricature. Peter lives and works in New York City and, when not illustrating, spends his time pondering what part of the brain is responsible for compelling one to be an illustrator. The same part, perhaps, that persuades one to believe in the possibility of lasting peace in the Middle East, a Beatles reunion with the original members, O.J. Simpson's innocence, tolerable Adam Sandler movies, keeping the porchlight on for Jimmy Hoffa's return, health insurance for every American and a high six figure yearly salary due to buyers of Illustration who know good art when they see it. website- www.pfasolino.com
Graphic entertainment at it's Best. Down these mean streets a man must go who is not himself mean, who is neither tarnished nor afraid, The ILLUSTRATOR... must be a complete man and a common man and yet an unusual man. He must be, to use a rather weathered phrase, a man of honor... He talks as the man of his age talks, that is, with rude wit, a lively sense of the grotesque, a disgust for sham, and a contempt for pettiness. He is cynical yet idealistic, romantic yet full of despair, an essentially gentle man moving across the landscape of beauty, decadence and violence." (APOLOGIES TO RAYMOND CHANDLER)

Pretty damn good. don't you think?
Artwork for a book cover involving a satirical look at the exploits of that gal from Alaska. Very fun job considering I usually get jobs from the Right wing. Usually depictions of Obama as a Kenyan born, Socialistic, Muslim foreigner who is ruining our Country. I will draw whatever ideology you have in mind. Guru Clients, I am there for you to visualize your needs whether selling your soap, candidate, Plumbing service, corporate identity, or Kids book about your dog that ran away when you were a child. I cover it all. You read me out there in the red and blue states, people? I am reasonable in PRICE & PERSONALITY. www.pfasolino.com
WHO IS THIS? Sandra Day O'Connor, Barbara Bush, or Betty White you may ask? Wrong! My future mother-in-law. Boyfriends have certain obligations. If they are plumbers, they fix their girlfriends toilets. If they are illustrators, they do portraits of their girlfriend's Mom.
Notice the skewed perspective on this piece. just great, Ah?
I was hired by Ducks Unlimited Conservation Group to illustrate this piece for the Mississippi convention focusing on the response to the oil spill, specifically surrounding wetlands and waterfowl science, wetlands restoration and public policy.
“Investigating the Food Resources”
Page from my Children;s book. The more you proceed to look at my work, the more dazzled you get, don't you folks?

Yea, I know, Bush in drag. Perverse isn't it?
What is Obama thinking? He nixed the Public option, Gave Bush tax cuts for the Rich. I am disappointed in him.
What more can I say???
I was hired by a band called the "the MIDDLE MAN" to do their logo. Never heard their music but seemed like nice guys over the phone and their check cleared. Being musicians, I worried about that. www.pfasolino.com
