‘Art of War’ gets illustrated edition from Webby-winning artist
‘The Art of War Visualized’ by Jessica Hagy. – AFP/Relaxnews pic, March 4, 2015.A Seattle-based cartoonist whose work has appeared in the New York Times and Forbes is reimagining Sun Tzu's classic text for the Information Age.
Illustrator Jessica Hagy is the creator of the Webby-winning blog Indexed, which showcases her business-centric drawings that tell jokes or offer up clever observations using juxtapositions of graphs, diagrams and management-speak.
Her style is a fitting match for Sun Tzu's seminal work, a frequent inspiration for business tycoons, both confirmed and aspiring.
Hagy has illustrated the Chinese general's 2,500-year-old text – translated by Lionel Giles – with more than 200 ink-brush diagrams using bold typography.
"The Art of War Visualized: The Sun Tzu Classic in Charts and Graphs" is due out March 10 from Workman Publishing in paperback, e-book and hardcover editions. – AFP/Relaxnews, March 4, 2015.
