This month we sketch out a portrait of illustration, capturing the field in its many guises. Rob Walker has an epic look inside the Pencil Factory warehouse, long a creative hub for Brooklyn designers. Meanwhile, Fritz Swanson profiles the Dutch illustrator Tim Enthoven, known for his meticulous, uncanny vision; and Steven Heller sits down with R. O. and Nicholas Blechman, world-class designers who happen to be father and son. We’re also proud to introduce “The Last Word,” a new visual column in which the legendary Seymour Chwast will illustrate the final utterances of notable people, starting this month with P. T. Barnum. You’ll find it, appropriately enough, on the last page of the magazine.
