An illustration for The New Republic: "In Pursuit of the Climate-Proof City" about people preemptively moving to cities that have lower climate risk. As someone who lives in possibly the least climate-proof city in the world, this one felt a little personal, and I couldn't help but imagine myself as the little guy fleeing in the boat. Let's hope for an end to denial and some smarter decision-making so things don't come to that.

Just a heads up: if you commission me to draw a portrait of your home, I will draw an alternate version where lizards are destroying it, and there’s nothing you can do to stop me.
