Kim Rosen illutrates for The Wall Street Journal
Kim Rosen recently illustrated this wonderful piece for an article on how a woman tries to get her kids to do their chores, without a fight...
From the original Wall Street Journal article:
"I fired my children. It was a cold Saturday in December, when I told them they no longer had jobs and should leave the house. I didn't care where they went, as long as they got out of my hair for three hours so I could do their chores without bitterness." continue reading...

Kim Rosen poster illustration for World Sparrow Day
From Kim's Blog – by Kim Rosen:
"A few years ago I illustrated a portrait of Mohammed Dilawar for TIME magazine for their special report on "Environmental Heroes".
It has been Mohammed's mission to save the sparrows of India once he learned about the declining population in 2005. After seeing a sparrow building a nest in a switch box of a telephone pole, Mohammed decided to help. He started designing and building wooden nesting boxes and then manufactured them on a nonprofit basis. In less than three years he's sold more than a 1,000 of these nests. You can read the full TIME article <and see the original illustration> HERE.
Mohammed and I have been in touch since the TIME article was published in 2008. He recently asked me to illustrate a poster and a web banner to help further spread awareness of not only the sparrows, but of all common birds in India that are on the decline. I admire Mohammed and his efforts and I was honored to have been asked to help with his mission. March 20th is World Sparrow Day. Here are a few links if you'd like to learn more about Mohammed's efforts or learn how to help."

Kim Rosen illustration for the Shambhala Sun
Kim Rosen completed this full page illustration which will be in the May issue of Shambhala Sun magazine.
From Kim's blog:
"When Michael was nine yrs. old he would visit his schizophrenic uncle Ian in the mental hospital every week. Ian taught his nephew about the Bhagavad-Gita which is the story of the warrior Arjuna and his charioteer Krishna. Ian taught Michael about the Buddha and how to think and react on a variety levels. On every visit, Michael and Ian discussed, debated and philosophized all while listening to The Beatles' White Album in the background."

Kim Rosen illustrates for OnEarth magazine
Here is a great illustration by Kim Rosen for the current issue of OnEarth magazine. The article is about the "gear guilt" that some people feel when buying new gear. New and improved gear is ultra light, but the guilt of getting rid of all the old, heavy gear causes the writer some turmoil when thinking about how all that old stuff can wreak havoc on the environment:

Artist Kim Rosen illustrates Holocaust Memories
 |
| Kim Rosen - Holocaust illustration |
"My Mother is Drenched in Memories of the Holocaust"
This illustration accompanies a very sad story of a Holocaust survivor who could never forget her past. The author writes about his 90 year old mother who's life has been an extended version of the false identity she was forced to assume during the Nazi occupation of Hungary. Through the last half of her life, this survivor has suppressed her agony and heartbreak and managed to get by with a forced smile. Thanks again to Cinders for always giving me thoughtful stories to illustrate.
