MacNaughton's "Meanwhile"

Graphic journalist Wendy MacNaughton has launched an illustrated column at the New York Times. It's a new edition of what has appeared in the totally beautiful California Sunday magazine as well as in her 2014 book, Meanwhile in San Francisco.

Every Sunday in the Times' Business section, MacNaughton plans to "explore the rich story behind an everyday object, familiar place or uncelebrated face — and the effect on our lives, the economy, policy, the environment and more."

Her ink and watercolor NYT debut looks at tallboy beer cans.

We liked seeing MacNaughton pop up recently on food writer and chef Samin Nosrat's very warm and inviting Netflix show.
