Here are some initial sketches and then the finished illustration I did for this month's issue of Runner's World magazine. The piece was an autobiographical account of the writers near-death experience during winter run in a frozen canal outside Washington D.C.. Thanks to Kory Kennedy for including me among such auspicious company.
