As the world’s first major sports stadium that is net-zero energy and LEED-platinum, Brazil’s new Estádio Nacional de Brasília is as green as the grass on the pitch. The stadium’s sprawling white roof reflects sunlight to keep it cool, is coated with titanium dioxide which captures greenhouse gasses, and rimmed with a 2.5-megawatt solar array […]
Geophysicists at Stanford University in California believe they have found a way to give early warning to areas at risk to tsunamis. The system uses sensors on the ocean floor to pick up the sound waves generated by undersea earthquakes. These sound waves travel 30 times faster than the waves themselves. This data is used to […]
It’s been another busy summer for technical illustration. Unfortunately, there’s little that I can share at the moment. Above is a piece I did for Inc. magazine about the Bullitt Center. Read more about it in my technical illustration portfolio. I’ve also added work to the infographics portfolio. While you’re at it, check out Textbook […]
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 […]

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 […]
Thank you, everyone, for your interest in my illustrated poster for Bre Pettis & Kio Stark’s Done Manifesto, which appeared on FastCoDesign and Lifehacker recently. For similar work, I invite you to check out my editorial illustration portfolio, Textbook Example. High quality giclée prints of the Done Manifesto poster are available via ImageKind (or ArtFlakes in Europe).
I’ve been fascinated with augmented reality (AR) since learning about projects like Layar and WordLens. These apps combine the camera, GPS, gyros, processing power and constant connectedness of smart phones to add layers of meta-information on top of the world around us. My interest in this application of technology and information should come as no surprise—technical […]
I’ve been bound hand and foot over the past couple of months, but now I can tip my hand and share some of what has been keeping my hands busy. Work seems to get handed to me in themes, and if my terrible idioms didn’t hand it to you, lately it’s been hands and feet. Here […]
It’s been a busy summer! Working with great clients on really interesting projects, teaching my robot intern how to draw, developing my editorial illustration portfolio, and now adding a little polish to this site. In addition to the sliding showcase above, I’ve also added new work in my Technical Illustration and Infographics portfolios. Take a […]
Spring has sprung, so I’ve dusted off some recent work and added it to my technical illustration and infographics portfolios. Lots more to come—stay tuned!
