Blue

I was doing thumbnails and thought the bubble part looked like a head. Since Alan Greenspan is the face of the whole housing bubble situation, that is how this image came to be.

Diving, or flopping, in order to draw fouls or penalties is unsportsmanlike and embarrassing. Unfortunately it is rampant in sports such as hockey, basketball (the NBA just introduced an anti-flopping rule this year), and soccer.

The NHL lockout makes me sad. I finally got around to doing some more hockey illustrations. Canadian team edition:

Vancouver Canucks' captain Henrik Sedin

Calgary Flames' captain Jarome Iginla

Boston Globe OP-ED

Quick illo for last Friday's Boston Globe paper. The editorial was about how easy it is to lose control of personal information in the modern age, with all the physical mail and paper pertaining to one's identity.  You can read it here. Thanks to AD Jane Martin!
