This is a series of illustrations in this week's Newsweek magazine.  I got the call last Wednesday from art director Leah Purcell to do five illustrations for an article about China's new world dominance.  All the art was due on Friday.  Once I figured out the opener image above, I decided to mirror the round shape of the globe on all the following images.  Each subsequent image was supposed to illustrate China's rewriting of the rules in four separate areas—trade, technology, currency and world climate.  I had fun figuring it out and like how the circular shape makes for a cohesive series.   The article is titled "It's China's World We're Just Living in It" and is online here.

This is for an article titled "The Twilight of the Elites" by Christopher Hayes in this week's TIME magazine, full article here. "In the past decade, nearly every pillar institution in American society — whether it's General Motors, Congress, Wall Street, Major League Baseball, the Catholic Church or the mainstream media — has revealed itself to be corrupt, incompetent or both. And at the root of these failures are the people who run these institutions, the bright and industrious minds who occupy the commanding heights of our meritocratic order. In exchange for their power, status and remuneration, they are supposed to make sure everything operates smoothly. But after a cascade of scandals and catastrophes, that implicit social contract lies in ruins, replaced by mass skepticism, contempt and disillusionment."

I wrote a four page article in this month's CMYK magazine about the process of creating the poster for the last illustration conference in NYC.  You can check it out at the newsstands. The first page above shows many of the ICON poster sketches from my sketchbook at the time along with some hand lettering I did for the magazine.  Ron Cala, art director at CMYK, put them all together for the article.
