Excited to share this fun art with #lcmartist Vidhya Nagarajan for The Wall Street Journal. It was for an article on the Oxford American Dictionary called “When American Words Invaded the Greatest English Dictionary” about how the Oxford Dictionary has many English words in it…”Slips of paper with peculiar regional terms like ‘huckleberry’ and ‘cottondom’ crossed the Atlantic to Oxford and into the pages of a 70-year lexicographical project.”
