The rules are simple: take the silhouette of a US state, and fit something inside of it. The whole started out early in 2008, when I noticed that the silhouette of California strongly resembled a snuffed-out cigarette. Upon producing it, I decided to continue the exercise with the remaining 49. The illustrations don’t necessarily have to deal with the culture of the particular state, although occasionally I’ll slip something into the illustration just for fun. Prints are available for purchase in the shop.

I was asked by Good Magazine to create a piece for the Transparency series. From Good: There are currently more than 2.3 million people incarcerated in the United States. What does that look like, exactly? That’s equivalent to putting the combined populations of Miami, Las Vegas, and Minneapolis behind bars. Why is our penal system broken? How do we stack up against other countries?

We can cower in the shadows of our problems, divide and fall, or we can band together, get to work and make a difference. This election is about one thing: Fear versus Empowerment. Please choose wisely.” Everything, Illustration, Design, Posters 2008-11-06T03:21:57-06:00
