This is Steve’s week in the barrel as part of the NYT’s “Ask the Times” program. According to the Times, you can send your question here

Answers will turn up under Steve’s name on this web page.

I worked with Steve at the Chicago Tribune, back in the 1990s. We’ll award extra-special VizEds bonus points to anyone who can catch the poor guy off-guard.

Careful, though; this won’t be as easy as it sounds. Steve’s pretty sharp.

A graduate of Notre Dame, Steve was a designer and artist at papers in Michigan and L.A. before joining the Trib in 1995. In 1997, he slid over to the Tribune’s digital publishing operation and, in 1999, joined the Times as graphics editor of the NYT’s incredible science page. He was promoted to deputy graphics director two years later and then to graphics director in 2004.

Something I didn’t know before: Steve has sold a handful cartoons to The New Yorker. You can buy prints, notecards and t-shirts with his cartoons on them.
