Guardianship

I commissioned Dominic Bodden to create 14 illustrations for 4 stories in Jake Pearson's investigation into New York's guardianship system for ProPublica.

Dominic created lead and secondary illustrations incorporating renderings of key people as well as court filings, bank ledgers, email correspondence, and other documentary visual evidence from the investigation.

In New York, more than 28,000 adults are under the care of legally appointed guardians. But the system is in shambles, and weak oversight has enabled guardians to abuse, neglect and defraud the very people they are supposed to care for.
