Editorial Illustrator

Renowned freelance illustration Doug Chayka '96 has a client list that includes The Atlantic, Boston Globe, New York Times, New Yorker, Washington Post and many other publications.  

Chayka's editorial work is a mix of traditional illustration and contemporary methods. Throughout his career, Chayka has evolved with industry trends to maintain and grow his client base. When he was already an established illustrator, he taught himself how to animate his work into GIFs in order to become the regular artist for The New York Times’ State of the Art technology column. 

“It seemed for a while the transition to digital was going to be a crisis, and now it has made so many more opportunities,” Chayka said.
