Visualizing a Mural

When I was offered a commission to create a mural on three adjacent walls at Liminal Studios half a block from the Empire State Building, I was very excited. Instead of coming up with something out of thin air, I browsed my sketchbook and found the doodle below which I created while riding BART from San Francisco airport to the East Bay a few months ago. It inspired me to create a mural of several fantastical flowers, pollinated by various creatures. I shot a time lapse video action video showing me painting the mural. I did it all freehand, without penciling anything in on the walls. The flowers are mandalas, combining simple shapes that add up to complex forms. I accompanied it with a track from my friend John Sully's new album, This Music Is Broken. Hope you enjoy this little peek into my mural creation process!

Cartoon about about Ryancare

Created a brief cartoon to convey the human face of who would be effected by the elimination of healthcare coverage for 24 million people courtesy of Ryancare. The 24 million figure comes from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office.

Visual Listening at the Obamathon Social Media Hackathon at NYU

I'm having so much fun doing graphic recording during the ideation phase of the Obamathon Hackathon at NYU's legendary Interactive Telecommunications Program. Using datasets from the Whitehouse and many other sources, students and faculty are tapping into data from the 1st social media presidency from the last 8 years. Can't wait to see what they come up with! Here's a blog post the White House did about their release of Social Media data from the Obama administration. 

Visualizing Public Health for CHN

Sharing some pics from an event I supported a few months back for NYC's Community Healthcare Network. My brief was to interview attendees of the event about what they were most passionate about regarding public health.
