Foundation
Victo Ngai
I did this piece a little back for Tor . “Foundation”,  by Ann Aguirre, is a first-love story between two boys but they are both stuck in bunkers hiding out from a zombie-like epidemic. You can read the story here.
First year after RISD, I was a bit worry that I would be stuck drawing animals and kids forever, as most AD hire illustrators for what is in their portfolio. So I really have to thank the courageous Irene Gallo for seeing my dark-side and letting me “attack” zombies. 
I felt like this story calls for a rugged image and my usual lines are too delicate for the job . Immensely excited by this new challenge, I decided to experiment a bit and eventually went with a new approach of drawing the zombies with graphite/charcoal.
I hope you guys like!

Michele Bachmann and Mitt Romney just signed a pledge to “Support and send to the states a federal marriage amendment defining marriage as one man and one woman” and “Appoint a presidential commission to investigate harassment of traditional marriage supporters.”
In other news, this photo exists.

[how quaint - 50 years ago they would have been signing a pledge denying those kids the right to marry a white person. The politics of exclusion never really dies…it just shifts focus…]
