Parsons Illustration Sophomore Delaney Gibbons, a student in Lauren Redniss’s Illustrative Print Class, created the animation above. It’s called “Night People.” Fascinating, creative stuff!
Keep up the good work, Delaney!
The official description of the event:
Kraus, Suares and Holland will discuss the beginnings, the development and the current state of The New York Times Op-Ed Page, whose illustrations started to revolutionize journalism in the 1970s. The lecture will focus on the Op-Ed’s use of illustration over the years, how illustration is commissioned and why, the artists that helped create its image and the importance of message-driven illustration.
The lecture will be followed by book signings by all three paticipants.

Earlier that the same day–February 4th–Jerelle Kraus will be appearing at the 92nd Street Y in Tribeca. There are half-price tickets available for art students! Here’s the lowdown:
In her 30 years as The New York Times art director, Jerelle Kraus observed many battles between editors and artists over the parameters of respectable journalism. Here she reveals some of the censored treasures that editors deemed too blasphemous to publish and explains how op-ed art has changed the course and purpose of illustration, and why it is more relevant and indispensable than ever. Kraus is the author of All the Art That’s Fit to Print (And Some That Wasn’t): Inside The New York Times Op-Ed Page.
