I've been doing a weekly column for the Science section of the New York Times for about three years. Every week I get the article by Jane Brody, send a couple of idea sketches to the great Catherine Gilmore-Barnes, she picks one, and I send her the final art. I think we have set a record for the shortest e-mail exchanges between an art director and illustrator. It still seems like magic to see the image I just finished in the paper on Tuesdays.
