I was asked to do an Illustration for the letters pages of the NYTimes. The article was about education in the US, the No Child Left Behind Act, and how it doesn't encourage true growth in students. Again, the subject was one that I knew little about, so it was very fascinating to investigate and depict. If you would like to read the article you can do so here.
I did two versions of the illustration a greyscale for the print version and a spot colour version for online. It was a really great exercise to work in this manner, to create an image that can be manipulated easy for different uses.
