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.

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

Opener and a few spots for Wirtschafts Woche, on psychological phenomena or why we do things we shouldn't, even though we know better (I know a thing or two about that...). First one is on the "Overconfidence-effect", or why people tend to over-estimate themselves. The spots are about, clockwise from the top: The Bandwagon-effect, the TINA-principle ("There is no alternative"), the Hindsight-bias, the Superstar-effect (being easily intimidated by confidence).

Here's my contribution to the $300 illustration pool. I've always liked working for the Op-Ed page, the mixture of challenging topics with a crunchy deadline just appeals to me (usually a few hours, this one was overnight though). On top of that the art directors I've worked with over there, and there have been a few, have traditionally been some of the best in the field, and Aviva is no exception. They seem to just get it and are willing to fight for your ideas with the powers that be... Anyhow, here's the brief for this one: a story about the fourth amendment (part of the Bill of Rights) which guards against unreasonable searches and seizures, along with requiring any warrant  to be judicially sanctioned and supported by probable cause. The Fourth Amendment hasn’t been this weak in nearly a century. The Obama Administration petitioned the Supreme Court to allow GPS tracking of vehicles without judicial permission. The Supreme Court ruled that police may break into a house without a search warrant if, after knocking and announcing themselves, they hear what sounds like  evidence being destroyed.
