A selection of illustrations and lettering treatments that have appeared in various sections of The New York Times newspaper.
Above: Arts&Leisure Cover
Cover illustration for the Arts&Leisure section's 2006 "Year in Culture" Issue, where the Times' critics discuss the year's cultural highlights. Since this issue was purely retrospective, we created a backwards "2006" in which each number gets progressively smaller, as if one was looking back through the numerals to the beginning of the year. This large mark, centered on the paper's fold, is overlaid against a field of type listing the issue's contents.

| The New Season Cover
Borrowing "The New" from the Times' logo, we collaged it with a season ticket to create this full page cover for the Arts&Leisure section's issue on the new season in the arts.

| Politics, Real and Imagined
This special issue of the Times Book Review focused on many facets of the political spectrum--- from party politics to 60s radicalism to racism. Since the subject matter was so broad, the cover illustration depicts a many-striped American flag, complexly winding around itself.

| Astonishing
This illustration appeared in the Book Review section to illustrate a tongue-in-cheek essay about the overuse of descriptors such as "astonishing" in book reviews. We chose an assortment of other cliched review adjectives and designed a book jacket which is completely obscured with adjulatory quotations.
