“The 2011 Spectrum of Villainy”

Last weekend, 16 small, black and white ink drawings I did ran in the New York Times Magazine. The article was about the spectrum of villainy of different film evildoers from this year.

Here are a handful of my favorites, some sketches, and some tonal versions that we didn’t end up pursuing.

It was a really fun job to work in just black and white, with the special challenge of knowing the pieces would print at less than two inches high.

Here is a link to the online version of the article, where you can see all 16 drawings.

Thanks for reading!
