RECENT NEW YORK TIMES OP-ED ILLUSTRATION

tim lane op-ed Here's my most recent OP-ED piece for the New York Times. Below is a scan of how it ran on the page.

The New York Times is one of my favorite clients to work for, and the OP-ED page is always very creatively challenging and rewarding. I was particularly happy with this illustration because it was the first in which I was able to make a suggestion regarding the way the image appeared on the page and interacted with the text (notice the rope extending upwards through the column breaks). Leanne Shapton's (the art director) wrap-around text turned out beautifully, too.

Below are a couple of other recent New York Times illustrations.
