The Year in Illustration, The New York Times, Dec. 30, 2018<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Its New Year’s Eve 2018.<\/p>\n

We end the year and look back at it with the Editor’s Pick from yesterday’s Sunday New York Times, the last December day with a December day to follow.<\/p>\n

Something different to be sure. And incredibly compelling. Illustrations accompanying articles throughout the year.<\/p>\n

An ancient pursuit in a new incarnation of art imititating life, introducing us to some of the best writing throughout this (one more) extraordinary year since the end of civilization as we knew it.<\/p>\n

As always, it ranges from the shallow to the sublime, one-dimensional to multi-dimenational, in some ways another preview of a much worse vanity of the bonfires than ever before, perhaps to consume us all when the fire next time becomes the fire this time.<\/p>\n

But more often than not, at least some actual thinking about things needing thinking about.<\/p>\n

Take it all in.<\/p>\n

Editor’s Pick, Sunday New York Times, December 30, 2018:<\/p>\n

2018: The Year In Illustration<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

WE CALL ON ILLUSTRATORS late at night, in the early morning and on deadline. The subjects are complex: #MeToo, the immigration debate, climate change. We ask them to address these topics with sensitivity, wit and feeling \u2014 to add fresh perspective and avoid clich\u00e9. Also, \u201cCan you send a sketch in a few hours?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

See you next year.<\/p>\n

WE CALL ON ILLUSTRATORS late at night, in the early morning and on deadline. The subjects are complex: #MeToo, the immigration debate, climate change. We ask them to address these topics with sensitivity, wit and feeling \u2014 to add fresh perspective and avoid clich\u00e9. Also, \u201cCan you send a sketch in a few hours?\u201d<\/p>\n

We call on them because, at a time when the news cycle can feel relentless and overwhelming, these images make a different kind of impact: conveying emotion, creating space for thought, adding depth to subjects that may feel at once both too complex and overly familiar.<\/p>\n

From the thousands of illustrations that appeared in print and online in The New York Times this year, here are some of the most notable: the ones that surprised us, that made us feel something, that made us laugh \u2014 the ones that made us pause a moment longer than we might have on a busy day in 2018.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
