Cycling To School
posted: June 30, 2010

David Speranza from Bicycling contacted me after seeing some of my Tea Party illos with an assignment on kids riding to school. A community in Utah has successfully increased the percentage of cycling students from 32 to 50%.

Some ink drawings of bikers......

Finito! Thanks David!...

Got the issue yesterday and this really jumped out. It's a nice combination of textures and techniques.
