First one, for the New York Times BookReview (AD: Nicholas Blechman) on a new Kurt Vonnegut Bio.
The assignment didn't call for a concept, but I decided to add at least a little visual pun...

This one's for SooJin Buzelli at aiCIO.
Ray Dalio channeling Steve Jobs.

For the first issue of the german Haniel Corporation's magazine.
This is a company that's been around forever and has been extremely successful at mastering crises, surviving stuctural change, getting rid of unprofitable branches etc.
So the overall topic was to be something along the lines of seeing the good in the bad, flowers on the rubble, benefitting from adversity and the likes.
AD on this was Frank von Grafenstein (still can't quite imagine how he sold this image/series to them...thumbs up!).
 
Below is page 3 of the magazine.

For WirtschaftsWoche, on how to invest in stocks without taking any risks.
The bullriding theme was their concept-the pillows are mine ;)
Below some inside illos.

Some of you may remember last year's edition of the playlist, where they asked over 50 artists to pick their personal top ten of the music they love most. Can be either a whole genre or their top ten from another band / musician.
Well, here's this year's picks- a bunch of new ones and some that didn't run last year...again, fun gig.
ADs: Joe Hutchinson and Matthew Cooley.

Here's today's Op-Ed illustration in the NYTimes.
It's about how China's massive military buildup, especially in regard to non-nuclear ballistic and cruise missiles, is posing a growing threat to the US's strategic position in Asia.
Ah, Op-Eds- quick and dirty, just how I like it...
AD on this was Josh Cochran.

Here's a recent one for Women's Health, about a new generation of women who are ambivalent about having babies. If it happens, it happens, if not, no biggie. Pretty straightforward, methinks.
AD: William Hooks / Theresa Griggs
