In case you have not seen it, check Sketchbook, a new offering from The New York Times on weekends.
The Times invites artists to bring visual takes to the news. On the Sunday, April 30, edition of the Times: artist Nicolas Ortega’a wonderful piece to go with a story that has appeared in the Times:

Good visual storytelling is here.
