“What makes Thomas James such a singular talent — and such an important contributor to our pages — is his ability to find the perfect visual imagery to explain complicated concepts. We don’t call on Thomas for the simple stories; we call him to illustrate stories about political forces, power structures and emerging issues. And every time, he finds the perfect visual metaphor for ideas that take half a page of text to explain in words. He’s fast and talented and technically sharp at his craft, but what sets Thomas apart is his mind. Our pages are richer for having him in them.” - Adam Lisberg, Art Director of The Capitol
