I recently worked on another TED Talk project, creating illustrations for Hanjo Seibert's presentation, "What You Can Do to Stop Economic Crime." I almost refused this work because I'd have to draw guns and with everything that is happening in the world right now, it wasn't easy to bring myself up to do it. However, I realized the importance of raising awareness about these critical issues and decided to proceed with the project.
In the end, I am happy with how it turned out. I chose this bold, rough-brush style which I think fits the content quite well.
