A story I illustrated for IEEE Spectrum Magazine has been recognized with a Grand Neal Award for Best Single Article, a top honour in business-to-business editorial publications.

A Shocking Truth [PDF] exposed the design, engineering and maintenance problems that commonly cause automated external defibrillators (AEDs) to fail. My contribution was a half-page cutaway line illustration revealing the fatal flaws of the device.

Congratulations to everyone at IEEE, and thanks to Brandon for the great assignment!

Last summer I worked with Storey Publishing to produce 226 instructional illustrations for The Homeowner’s Energy Handbook: Your Guide to Getting Off the Grid. Topics include doing a home energy audit, insulating and increasing the efficiency of your home, monitoring your energy usage, solar hot water heating, solar, wind & hydro electricity generation, biodiesel, wood gass, bio gas and much more.

For more work like this, check out my Line Illustration and Infographics portfolios.

I worked with Secret Location on a series of satirical instructional-style animations about electriphobia, the fear of the electric car, for the fictitious Electriphobia Institute. The campaign and website is to promote the all-electric Mitsubishi i-MiEV.

For more animations and motion graphics, check out my Motion Graphics portfolio.

Thanks to Sabrina for the awesome project!

Update: Electriphobia has won two 2013 FITC Awards in the Advertisement and Motion Graphics categories.

I’ve been doing a lot of line illustrations lately, on various topics for various magazines. See my Line Illustration portfolio for more recent samples.

I’ve made some much-needed changes around the site. My new portfolio line up consists of:

• Technical Illustration Highly detailed renderings of technical subjects.
• Line Illustration Line drawings that explain how things work.
• Infographics Graphic, stylized illustrations and icons.
• Motion Graphics Animated illustrations.

I hope that the work in each portfolio seems more consistent, and better communicates the services I offer. Please have a look around, there’s new work in each portfolio. If you have any comments, feel free to get in touch.
