Future of Facebook project, of which I am a teeny part, featured on CNN.

I’m super proud of my friend Venessa for the CNN coverage of her Future of Facebook project, and stoked to have my STEEP analysis illustration run on CNN as part of it. Go team!

Biologists and anthropologists: is this great apes cladogram accurate? (Illustration help!)

Where I’m confused is where chimps & bonobos diverge from humans. Does this work as it is, or should I switch the chimpanzee & bonobo labels? The way it is now sort of looks like bonobos & humans share the most recent common ancestor, instead of chimps & humans (to me, but I’m not used to reading these diagrams). Is this ok? I’m working from this cladogram.

Here’s how it looks on the site. Definitely a career high so far

Spiderman celebrates the holidays in front of my hygiene poster.

I spotted these friendly neighbourhood Spidermen getting cozy in the Y’s daycare, our last bastion of entertainment on an otherwise dead (get it?) holiday Sunday.

I know you’re clamouring for the blogular relevance—what do sexy superheroes have to do with marketing, media, art & design?

These amorous arachnids are getting it on in front of a government-issue health poster I illustrated with Velocity Branding (back in the day when they were Space Cadet).

I’m so proud to see the posters up everywhere—they’re even in the washroom at CBC—encouraging proper handwashing and cough-coverage. There’s nothing about safe public relations, unfortunately. I would have liked to draw that one.
