New TalentWhy did you make this work:
I was given the article from New York Times "CSI: Earth" by Gavin Schmidt, about how scientists become forensic scientists/detectives who trace fingerprints on earth to see who/what is responsible for climate change. The task was to illustrate this article in a serious way, not funny. The title of the article was changed after the illustration was done to: How Scientists Cracked the Climate Case.
How was the illustration used: It was used in the on-line Op-Ed New York Times Article https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/24/opinion/climate-change-global-warming-trump.html
How did you make this work: Since in the text it was mentioned several times how fingerprints can trace what is causing the climate change I decided this to be my main basis for the illustration. I used the ink for the stamps to do the fingerprints, just like they do in the police (the original title of the article was CSI Earth, so it was a natural thing to do). Then I modified it in photoshop and did a small animation.
