BOOST YOUR DRAWING SKILLS NEXT SPRING

Super Busy Recently

Over the Summer I teamed up with my friend and colleague Adam Bessie and we created a Graphic Journalism Comic entitled Automated Teaching Machine: A Graphic Introduction to the End of Human Teachers. It can be found at:

Adam of course was the author and I the illustrator, its a great story about the rise of automation in the classroom and how our children are being turned into the equivalent of factory workers whose productivity is measured by efficiency.
