Christopher Hitchens
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 = a newsroom abbreviation for "headline cut": a hand drawn, uniquely stylized pen and ink illustration, used only by the staff illustrators at The Wall Street Journal. Authentic WSJ stipples are never digitally generated. I am a senior staff illustrator at the WSJ, one of only 5 illustrators creating authentic hedcut portraits.
MATISYAHUdid this to you?!
As Jewish reggae star Matisyahu shocks fans with his new look, I remember how much fun I had drawing his likeness for the TV promos of MTV's "Define Yourself" series.
