Brooklyn-based artist Tim O’Brien. who created the above image for a Time cover in June 2018: ‘“This portrait of Trump gazing into a mirror and seeing a king gets to the heart of how he and his legal team…
Another sad event in the shifting world of good journalism. (Illustration found here). News gathering has always been a hard row-to-hoe, even in the best of times. Technology switched the goal posts all around, which created a vacuum of sorts, especially within a dying breed, print journalism. Just in the last decade-and-half the newspaper industry…
Start another dumb celebration off right (h/t Miss Cellania): Just another Friday news-dump day… (Illustration found here).
