Introducing Infographics

February 14, 2011

I got an early start on my spring cleaning and today I debut two new portfolios. The first is a selection of information graphics, or infographics, I’ve created for various clients. Infographics are any form of visual communication design, regardless of content or style. Since technical illustration might be considered a subset of this broadly […]

Season’s Greetings

December 12, 2008

I’d just like to take a minute to wish everyone happy holidays and say thanks for a great year. I’m sending out a holiday card and thought I’d share it here.
