Twitter as a public health info feed

 

I did this illo for Johns Hopkins magazine. The story is that two Johns Hopkins computer scientists had the idea of “mining” Twitter for very current public health info. They look for keywords that suggest increased use of over the counter cold and flu medicines, as well as symptoms of allergies and sickness and so on. They believe there are lots of potential uses. The idea of a flock of birds came very fast. Then it was just a matter of conveying the data gathering and health concept and finetuning the composition. Lots of fun!

The Sounders Flounder

This illustration was for a story in Seattle Magazine on the city’s struggle and long delay choosing a Sounders soccer team mascot. And so I got to draw a flat fish man. In addition to a flounder, the writer also proposed a Viaduct (what?), a Geoduck, the “Squatch” and the Seattle sound itself. I think the Geoduck is also called a gooeyduck, is edible (yuck), is a kind of snail and is unarguably phallic. I was not asked to draw the Geoduck.

Smith is putting together a new sustainable food concentration (education lingo for a suite of courses I guess). This went with the Smith Alumnae Quarterly article, designer, Ronn Campisi.

Thanks Steve

I began using Apple computers a long time ago, in a small publishing department. I went on to use Quark, then Adobe software, eventually started illustrating on the computer and have gone on — and on — from there.
