Illustrations for Philadelphia City Paper, "People Who Died 2014".

A few weeks ago I was approached by the Philadelphia City Paper to illustrate the cover and corresponding story for their annual "People Who Died" issue.  Thanks to Brenna and Lillian at CityPaper for the art direction and for this opportunity. I am honored to have worked on this assignment that represents these individuals who touched so many lives in the Philadelphia community and beyond.

You can read parts one, two and three of the full article with the accompanying illustrations here.
