I got the chance to revamp the cover for @harpercollinsus 50th anniversary edition of The Endless Steppe. It's based on the true story of Esther Hautzig - a resilient Polish Jewish girl who was sent to exile in Siberia during WWII when she was only 10 years old.

Thanks @anthonybourdain for being a great source of inspiration for us. 🖤 "Travel isn't always pretty. It isn't always comfortable. Sometimes it hurts, it even breaks your heart. But that's okay. The journey changes you; it should change you. It leaves marks on your memory, on your consciousness, on your heart, and on your body. You take something with you. Hopefully, you leave something good behind."

I kinda don't mind how this looks unfinished so I'm leaving it as is. Lately I really do just care more about the process.

I loved working on this map for this weeks issue of @hollywoodreporter - it's for an article titled "Year of the Female Activist" about some of the activist groups in Los Angeles that were organized by women in response to the post-election dismay. - "Men are just so used to running the show, and we are the ones who are constantly having to fight for our rights." #illustration #thefutureisfemale #losangeles

"Everything Always Turns to Shit on Death Row" - This is a new illustration I did for @vice in collaboration with @marshallproj for their "Life Inside" section. This particular article was written by an inmate who has been on death row for 18 years for committing first degree murder. Definitely a departure from what I'm used to illustrating and totally worth the read. #illustration https://www.vice.com/en_uk/article/xwmxb4/everything-always-turns-to-shit-on-death-row
