Very quick piece for the Op-Ed page yesterday. The article is a denouncement of the claims that Israel pursues apartheid policies in it’s ongoing dealings with the Palestinians in Gaza. It goes into several specific distinctions as to how Israel is in no way like South African apartheid. The final sketch wasn't approved till 4:30, with the final due at 6! Lots of sketches below. I tried working with "apartheid claims" mostly. The one chosen uses hands (again). I've used hands a lot more often than I probably would like in my work, but hopefully it still feels immediate and engaging. It's such an honor to get the call to do an Op-Ed piece. The deadline rush helps make it one of the most exciting gigs in the business.
Here's a link to the article: http://www.nytimes.com/pages/opinion/index.html
