New York Times Book Review
It was a pleasure illustrating Margaret Atwood's book, "Maddaddam" for The New York Times Book Review. The apocalyptic novel is the final in her very popular trilogy that follows "Oryx and Crake" and "The Year of the Flood". This novel is a final showdown and a battle for the future of humanity in a garden full of bioengineered child-like creatures, green glowing rabbits, vultures and half-lion half-lamb called liobambs. Thanks to the AD Rex Bonomelli for thinking of me for this project and for giving me my first piece in the NYTimes Book Review.
