This one for The Nation accompanies a review of the new “Lincoln Anthology: Great Writers on His Life and Legacy From 1860 to Now.” The book is huge at over a 1000 pages, representing Lincoln through many different lenses. The idea for the illustration was to create a single composite image from many sources to reflect the diversity of the anthology. I tried to use as many different styles in the piece as possible, photo, line, paint, graphic shapes, 3D, anything that would add to the impression of diversity.

Highfive! well done.
I love it! You've been doing very very interesting things lately
really great fresh approach! lovely colors too. hope all is well with you Doug :) recently I made a quick trip to New York to drop off a drawing for the SOI student show & was very excited to see your pieces hanging in the Book & Editorial exhibit!

Thanks you guys, it's great to hear this direction looks good to you! I'm really enjoying working like this.
this totally rocks, Doug! it's awesome. i want to see it printed...how big is it? oh, and i so dig the 'penny beard'!
Thanks Jen! The file is 12" x 16", another digital collage. I ordered a giclee a couple days ago to see how it prints at that size. Is that a giclee that you sent us? How did you print it, or where? Yours looks great.
This is sick man!!! Awesome work!
