1949 – 2011
English author and journalist, a columnist and literary critic, top public intellectual, atheist ... Hitchens was all that and much more. Someone who I deeply admired.
This hedcut was done for the Wall Street Journal in 2007.
Hedcut = in newspaper lingo, short for "headline cut". Stipple, pen and ink portraits as seen in The Wall Street Journal. I am one of the staff illustrators at the paper, creating hand drawn, stipple portraits and other pen and ink illustrations you can see in the Journal every day. This blog is an addition to my illustration website (www.nolinovak.com)
