During four trips to Iraq in 2003 and 2004, and with journalistic credentials from the
website artnet.com, Steve Mumford traveled with army units to Baghdad and seven other
cities in Iraq, producing drawings and written accounts that were posted on the site.
“Baghdad Journal” is now also in book form, published by Drawn & Quarterly in 2005. In
2006, Mumford spent three days at Brooke Army Medical Center drawing portraits of
disabled Iraqi War veterans. These drawings are featured in the July issue of Harper’s
Magazine.
