here is an illustration, as it would appear as a two page spread in a magazine.

i read an article about how China has the U.S. under it's thumb. On a whim, China could turn the U.S. economy upside down. which hits close to home especially since the Saudis stopped accepting the U.S. Dollar as a currency to pay for oil reserves.

I'd say China definately played their cards right in the chess game of global economy. check and mate!

Here's an illustration thats completely digitally collaged. I enjoyed working this way, it's alot of fun and alittle more efficient than flipping through pages of magazines to find the right images.

im not sure about it though. i had a blast doing it but i can't decide if it's weaker or stronger than the other works i've done.

what do you guys think, up to par? i'm all ears for any critiques.
