Concept editorial illustration #3. I got to use this illustration for an Atlantic article that was posted on Inadvertent Haiku about this defining moment in Obama’s Presidency.

Concept #4. Set of editorial illustrations.
Concept sketch 2 for an editorial illustration. I generally dislike reducing complex social and political situations to cleverness.

Concept sketch 1 for an editorial piece. I wanted to convey the idea of unraveling to become this looking specter.

Hats of to the work that has been done. Beautiful and impactful stuff.
