Cheese Man for On Wisconsin Magazine
I recently did a series of illustrations for On Wisconsin magazine, published by the University of Wisconsin. The feature story, Milk Matters, covered a variety of dairy topics. This little piece, titled "A Case for Queso," might have been my favorite just because I got to draw this little cheese man. The story is about how lactose intolerant people may be able to enjoy some cheeses.
