Artist Lindsay Olson captures essence of On the Job

Chicago-based artist Lindsay Olson, the artist-in-residence at the Oak Park Police Department, has been working to produce a series of drawings inspired by On the Job: Behind the Stars of the Chicago Police Department. Her first work in the "Tools of the Trade: A Citizen's View of Law Enforcement" series incorporates the list of 911 calls for the 11th District that author Daniel P. Smith weaved into the text. Lindsay discusses the book and the inspiration it gave her artwork at her Tools of the Trade blog.

Lindsay's full line of work is slated to be on display at the Oak Park Public Library in June 2010.
