George Cayley's Glider

An important step on the road to manned flight, George Cayley's glider is an invention that is too often overlooked in history. Not only did Cayley invent the first manned glider, but he also earned for himself the title of "Father of Aerodynamics." These booklets illustrate the history and science behind the Glider, as well as the many milestones achieved in flight because of this invention.

Guns or Butter

This informational poster illustrates the economic principle known as "guns or butter," which postulates that a government only spends money on one of two things: Defense or Social programs. This poster, designed to be mailed to tax payers, illustrates the magnitude of the US military budget by building big-ticket items out of people. Other information displayed includes amounts of each item in the US arsenal, and other associations with the cost of food aid in relation to populations of various nations, as compared with the cost of military equipment.

2009: A Pessimist's Calendar

A pessimist sees all of the greatest holidays through a very different lens. Where most see joy and time with family, a pessimist sees hassle and headache. This series of postcards chronicles a year through the eyes of a pessimist, illustrated by hand with expressive images and type combined with photography.

This project saw a lot of ups and downs. I'm finally at a point where I'm happy with it, though.
