I simply enjoyed drawing this one. It accompanied an article with a very strong metaphoric edge, criticizing the Israeli inspector of banks.

Vigilance magazine

Recently I have started working with a French magazine, published by EDF, Frances’ largest energy company. As far as an internal magazines are concerned, EDF has on its payroll, no less than 156,000 employees. The themes dealt with in Vigilance, are mostly around the employee’s life. In this issue, I related to an article dealing with the working conditions of EDF’s workers, their work environment, the role of the management and the vicinity of the workplace to one’s home, as part of the employee’s well being. These kind of topic, much as they might come across as dry and informative are in most cases those which provide me with a greater challenge for a creative gymnastic.

Thomas Jones on a consummate thriller writer whose scrutiny of the links between big business and bad governments is all too relevant today.
