The Atlantic Ideas Issue

Illustration • 2010

Each year, The Atlantic runs their “Ideas Issue,” which, in their words, is “a guide to the intellectual trends that, for better or worse, are most shaping America right now.” In 2010, I was asked to illustrate each of the proposed ideas. The job was a conceptual illustrator’s wet dream.
