There’s not much to be said about being asked to illustrate something for HOW magazine, one of the premier graphic design and illustration magazines in the world, than it was a honor. The article was a point counterpoint about the benefits and drawbacks of crowd sourcing, titled “Designers Dilemma.” Thanks Bridgid! It was great working with you!
