I have finally entered the 21st century with a first gif for the New York Times. The article, “Short Answers to Hard Questions about Climate Change” was originally commissioned as a still image but they later decided a gif would add a nice punch to the story. This was a case of learning a new skill on the fly. I’ve always found a real deadline helps with retaining skills so I’m look forward to doing more gifs the future. Much thanks to Catherine Gilmore Barnes for letting me bring one of my illustrations to life.
Here’s the original image for the print version of the article.
