Today I completed this portrait of Dorothy Day, drawing it with a Wacom tablet in Photoshop. It's very unusual for me to create something completely digital from start to finish. In general I prefer to work manually, but using the computer seemed the best way to deal with the complexity of this illustration. (Image copyright 2009 by Julie Lonneman)

Beautiful site, a testimony to the power of imagery to communicate not just an idea but also the feeling that flows from it. Julie carries on the tradition of Ida Bethune and Fritz Eichenberg, whose timeless works still grace the Catholic Worker newspaper.
