The Minneapolis Tribune

My latest illustration appears in the Minneapolis Tribune today. The subject is suicide, a very sensitive topic. However, the hope this article reveals is how surviving family members and friends are beginning to talk openly about suicide. Suicide prevention groups are pushing for the cause of death to be included in obituaries, as a way of countering the climbing number of self-inflicted deaths.
That is a positive step, health professionals say. Also shown here are several additional sketch concepts that were presented. Many thanks to AD Mike Rice for the assignment. NOTE: all images shown here and on this site are copyright.
