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.

This is a piece in this month's The Atlantic magazine.   The story is titled "Myth Diagnosis".  The writer lays out a number of ways that having health insurance can actually be a bad thing.  Through misdiagnosis, over medication, and mistakes by physicians people with health insurance may end up having shorter lifespans.  The full story is here.
