Anita Kunz
When senior editor Gary Cartwright decided to write about the death of his wife, Phyllis, the art department knew it needed the perfect illustrator for the piece (“Main Squeeze Blues,”). That person turned out to be Anita Kunz, a Toronto native who has contributed to magazines ranging from Business Week to the New Yorker. “It was such a profoundly moving story,” Kunz says. “Originally I wanted to create an esoteric piece of art. But the first thing I noticed in all of Phyllis’s photographs was her smile, so I changed directions.” The result is a luminous, almost spiritual portrait of a woman who will be greatly missed.
Brian D. Sweany
Articles editor Brian D. Sweany didn’t play football in high school, but that hasn’t stopped him from writing about the sport. For this issue, Sweany took on the ambitious project of fine-tuning the list of people, places, and events that make Texas and football go hand in hand (“Thank God It’s Friday,”. Knowing that readers will undoubtedly feel that something or someone is missing, Sweany is already braced for the controversy that this cover story promises to fuel: “You go into the list knowing that people are going to argue about it. And that shows why football matters so much in Texas.”
Sarah Wilson
Few contributors worked as hard on this issue of Texas Monthly as Sarah Wilson. First, she photographed the key players in the curriculum imbroglio at St. Andrew’s Episcopal School of Austin (“The Good Book and the Bad Book,”). A St. Andrew’s alum, she was a natural choice for the assignment. “When I saw my old principal, Lucy Nazro, it was like being in the sixth grade all over again,” the 28-year-old Austinite says. She also shot the pictures for the new serial on Tonnyre Thomas Joe, who runs cattle in South Texas (Reporter: Meanwhile, Back at the Ranch,). “Tonnyre is not your typical rancher,” says Wilson. “She challenges your stereotypical notions.”
