This sketch is from a series of pieces I made about diagrams and reading. It's around 31 x 57cm, made using a mapping pen and goose quill. During my 12keys project of 2005, I became interested in different grammars of drawing, in how - if the weighting is wrong - the object of a labeled diagram can seem to be sprouting antennæ and feelers. How swashes and flourishes need to be 'read through' to make sense of a letter.

Recursive Colophon
This is the first purely typographic work I have made in several years. All my typecraft owes a lot to the work of pioneering typographers like Wolfgang Weingart and John Maeda. This particular experiment is, as you can probably tell, a joke about fractals executed in thrice-blesséd Hoefler Text. I plan to make a steadily fading version with even more iterations, but fear for the safety of my computer. Still, as my brother continually tells me, art is all about knowing when to stop.I've just noticed the similarities between this image and the black beams in the post below. Coincidence? Yes.

Infovis
This is my first expriment with information visualization using the publically available software Many Eyes, charting simple correspondances between myself and some of my favourite artists.

The A Game Map
This image is a collation of my preparatory studies for The A Game. I use annotated diagrams to record and develop conceptual and spatial ideas, exploring how concepts link to one another and how these connexions can be expressed visually. (I've posted this as a very big image so the text is a little more legible, so downloading it before viewing is advised).
