Boom box
“Booming” is an online section of the New York Times which features stories for the Baby Boomer generation. As a regular contributor it is becoming clear I must be a boomer because many of the assignments resonate with me. This was for a column complaining about the overly loud music in restaurants. They are preaching to the choir. Laura Chang, AD.
Anyway you want it.
The minibus system in Hong Kong never ceases to amaze me. They fill the gaps of the transit system to an almost granular level for less than a dollar. The ride can be harrowing but did I mention it is less than a dollar? Illustration for Investment News Magazine about abandoning the cookie cutter approach to serving clients. David Stokes, AD.
Inner noise
Having just arrived in Hong Kong, I’m never quite awake or asleep with the jet lag. It’s subtle and sneaks up on you during the quite times of the day. Illustration for Experience Life magazine about the distracted mind. Stephanie Glaros, AD
The not so jet set.
I’m off to Hong Kong this week for my yearly visit and as always, bringing the trusty laptop for work. My wife’s mom has a space in the apartment for work whenever I visit. It’s a nice way to recharge while having a different routine. Illustration for Wall St. Journal about business travelers needing to use economy instead of business class services amid orders to cut expenses. Dan Smith, AD.
Wall St Journal: business to economy
Drive
Some of my favorite memories are driving with windows open on a warm evening while listening to music. When asked by Ohio Today to do an illustration about road trip memories it was great to work on a deadline while thinking about those days. Sarah McDowell, AD.

Great news from Communication Arts magazine. An illustration for Mother Jones magazine about the acceptance of transgender people was chosen for the 2013 Illustration annual. Tim Priddy, AD
