his week’s A&E cover story for The Oregonian advances The Bite of Oregon festival taking place along the waterfront this weekend. I put together the cover illustration for the section using construction paper, posterboard and rubber cement. The idea of taking a literal bite out of the state of Oregon may lack subtlety, but the state is shaped so much like a sandwich it’s hardly obvious. (Much credit must also go to staff photographer Stephanie Yao Long for photographing the finished product and capturing the paper’s depth and texture. She’s awesome.)
