Skew was a newsletter from the Center for Teaching, Learning & Technology at Washington State University. It was designed to be edgy and included elements (like my Pedagogical Avenger comic) that poked fun at the starchiness of academia. Skew won both a Clarion and Apex Award in 2004. My contributions included illustrations, writing, and design work. For more images please see the Skew page.
