The New York Times Crossword
TODAY: GET OVER IT(1224)
Jeremy Newton, of Austin, Texas, is an engineering manager for a mobile games company. This is his 26th crossword for The Times — mostly Sundays, and most of those having visual elements, a bent he attributes to his artistic background. Jeremy attended a magnet high school for visual arts, the Art Institute of Dallas and then an N.Y.U. Tisch graduate program in code-driven art installations. He likes the large ‘‘canvas’’ that Sunday puzzles afford him. — W.S.
