New Yorker "Spots"

Regular readers of the New Yorker will be familiar with the weekly "spots:" a series of small, usually black and white illustrations scattered throughout the text of the entire issue.  This has always been one of my favorite features of the magazine, so I was honored to when editor Françoise Mouly asked me to take a stab at it.  She suggested the theme of hoodies in memory of Trayvon Martin.
