New York Times Marks America’s 250th With Claim Revolutionary Cause was ‘Anti-Native Sentiment,’ Land Grab
The New York Times Magazine is greeting America’s 250th birthday with a vast animated project that cartoonishly depicts the American founders as motivated by "Anti-Native sentiment" and a desire to seize "Native land." Cartoonish applies not only to the crudeness of the history but to the graphics. The project is illustrated by a British artist, Tim McDonagh, whose website says his style is "inspired by old comics, gig posters and tattoos," and whose other work includes a celebration for the BBC of women wheelchair athletes and a tour backdrop for an Australian comedian and musicians that featured zebras, pink flamingos, dinosaurs, and a "pig’s willy." McDonagh also did an anti-drunk-driving campaign for the British government, which is ironic, because the American Revolution was fought against the British government.
