August’s Projects

The height of summer brought a flurry of new commissions and opportunities, August has been a tough month of establishing those projects and managing the final stages of some challenging, lengthy projects which came to a close at the end of a long, busy summer. This month’s highlights come from some familiar names — Katie Harnett and Stephanie Shafer — but there are plenty of new projects around the corner with illustration from some bright young faces.
