I illustrated this series of portraits and one wide scene for NBC News! This was a quick turnaround project on Election Day 2024. I met the subjects in the morning (voters at my local polling location), and drew their portraits all in one day. They were published as part of a series of illustrations and photos documenting the election on NBCNEWS.COM. I’m really happy with how they came out!

Big thanks to art director Chelsea Stahl and the team at NBC News Digital Art for bringing me on for this project! Shoutout to fellow illustrator Lily Padula who also created some nice portraits for this series. Their work is amazing, check it out! And thank you to everyone who shared their feelings and let me draw them on that crazy day.

I’m grateful for this project for bringing me back to my creative roots. I love drawing, and I love drawing people. And it was really nice to just do that again :)
