i got to do a whole series of illustrations for a slate special issue on procrastination. i hemmed, i hawed, i put them off . . . actually, i screwed up and got these illustrations done nice and quick!? i blame the studio environment. you may notice that the 'caveman procrastinating', isn't on the slate site. the description i had of the article didn't quite jive with the final story, don't tell the t-rex.

thanks sir. that one turned into my favorite as well. also, it was done after the rest, i was charged up to get a little breather and distance from the rest.

Loved the illustration you did for my piece, about the history of the word. Not the easiest topic to illustrate, but I thought what you came up with fit quite nicely.

many thanks ben. this assignment initially sounded quite easy until i actually had to start coming up with visual metaphors for procrastinating. i am also pleased to now know about the history of the word.
