Here is one I did a few months ago for the cover of Boston Globe’s Style section. The article was about what the city can do to attract younger people. Some ideas were to have rooftop bars, happy hours, food trucks, places open later, and public transportation run later.

Both of these were in the Sunday Boston Globe paper. 

The first one is about how there are several different ethnic restaurants that have opened around the city. These places not only introduce people to the cuisine of a country, but also the culture. Read it here.

The second one was about a young woman who buys a condo in Asylum Hill, a neighborhood her family and friends considered to be a dodgy place. The writer describes that she made friends with several people from different backgrounds. Read it here.

The latest illustration for Cincinnati Magazine’s column, Katie’s Letter. In this column Katie describes events she has witnessed regarding race in different parts of the country. You can read the column here.

Here is another one from the Cincinnati Magazine column I’ve been illustrating. This one was about the writer who spent some time in Russia. 

John Von Ohlen for Cincinnati Magazine.

 Do dishwashers cause allergies. One for NPR about how super cleanliness can weaken a child’s immune system.

Another one for NPR about ACE testing. In the 1990’s, the CDC created a test called the Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) test. It’s a series of questions that has been deemed a “magical screening tool” as far as predicting potential health issues in patients. But why don’t doctors use it? The answer seems to be that asking these questions may unleash something bigger than expected.
