Today’s stories: a new page to the site to chronicle my upcoming Knight Journalism Fellowship at Stanford, featuring a CGI Polish history trailer and a plan to resurrect editorial cartoons for the 21st century. As I get back into drawing after a mini hiatus spent focused on stopmotion, I’ve cracked the spine on a new sketchbook and will be posting the results (however hit or miss) to my flickr account. If you’re on flickr, then add me as a contact. If you’re not, and can’t bring yourself to click that link, then scrolling down the right hand sidebar is enough to give you a thumbnailed idea of what my scrawls look like. To watch the fruit of my claymation labours, then check out my youtube channel.

Featuring artwork from one of the victims interviewed, part of one of the many anonymous surveys we drew our research from, as well as statistics from the IOM, I think this idea has more visual impact and sums up the aims of the comic (both educational and emotional) better than the other options you could have voted for.

Meeting Eric Drooker last week got me thinking back to my experiments with wordless comics, which peaked with the above piece for Bash magazine in Dec 2008. So much was being said about the then imminent financial crisis, I thought a wordless approach with all of its symbolic ambiguities was a novel way of pointing the metaphorical finger at the Credit Default Swapping troublemakers. Scroll down for lots of updates below the fold, and don’t forget to cast your cover design vote for my Borderland comic – voting closes in a few hours.
