Here is a little illustration I did for the National Law Journal. The story was a little dense, so I had to take a few wacks at the ball before I hit upon an idea that fit the bill. I'm pretty happy with it though. As it turned out, later that evening, which was last night, I attended a lecture that was to be ostensibly a talk on the history, current state and future of Op-Ed illustration at the New York Times. It was not what I had hoped for as it mostly centered on the "ground breaking work" of the speakers present. Meanwhile, in the audience, a group of INX artists (who do the best Op Ed work available today IMHO) sat wondering where the lecture was going. As it turned out, it was little more than a tupperware party wherein the lecturers hawked their books after the event. Disappointment. Dinner afterwards at John's Pizzeria in our my old upper East Side neighborhood was definitely a highlight. BTW: John's pizzeria is a highly recommended eatery between 1st & York Avenues at 408 East 64th Street. Hands down the best thin crust pie in the city.
