“Illustration celebrating art director Nicholas Blechman’s departure from the New York Times. Nicholas was moving on to work as the creative director at The New Yorker, and Kelly Doe asked a handful of artists to create pieces celebrating Nicholas’s work at the paper. Leaving one of the most well-read and respected sections of the New York Times to begin work on a literary magazine that is equally respected and historic seemed like an exciting step. I wanted to reflect the bigness of that move; plus, I know Nicholas loves the beach.”
