The New York Times
For the New York Times Book Review I illustrated the review of The Long Corner, a novel by Alexander Maksik. I did not want to draw a scene from the book. I wanted a single image that holds a mood: one man walking alone down a pink path in a bright floral shirt, with giant leaves closing in from every side and a heavy violet sky above him.
He is small and barefoot, the colors are warm where he walks and cold everywhere else, and the plants frame him like a stage. It feels like walking toward something you cannot quite see yet.
