How to TELl...

Comic for SwaRthmOre ColLege!

COLIN Kaepernick BIlLboARD by Bay Bridge!
Working with Courage Campaign, I designed this billboard supporting Colin Kaepernick's patriotic protest of police violence. As this ABC News article says:
The digital billboard on I-80 near the Bay Bridge was created by the Courage Campaign. It reads "Patriotism" with a photo of Colin Kaepernick next to it.
The Courage Campaign is an online movement aimed at raising awareness of issues like economic justice, human rights and corporate and political accountability. Tim Molina, one of the campaign creators, said they back Kaepernick's message.
"Patriotism isn't rising for a national anthem or following a flag, it is fighting to make this country the best country it can be," Molina said, "Black lives matter and the protest Kaepernick is doing, is just supporting that".

CLimate FOols 2015 Throwback ANIMAtion
This afternoon, I was looking back at the light animation work I did for Forecast the Facts on April Fools Day 2015 (now ClimateTruth.org.) I was pointing out how likely contenders for president were climate deniers. Donald Trump didn't enter the race until two months later, and now these more standard Republicans look... well, quaint in comparison. I hope Trump, who says climate change is a "hoax" invented by the Chinese, doesn't make fools of us all.
NetroOtS nation Notes
I attended Netroots Nation again this year, a progressive gathering with panels, trainings and direct actions. Full illustrated notes are here. A few highlights below:
ABOUT my Font
See how in my blog post titles, there are two versions of each letter? It's not a Squarespace font, it's my own handwriting, which I painstakingly made into a font. I achieve the variation with upper and lowercase letters programmed, even though they all appear to be upper case. I stole this trick from the wonderful Alison Bechdel :)
Climate Truth EMail Graphic
I recently designed this nifty graphic for ClimateTruth.org, explaining how and what Exxon knew about climate change for decades. I'm proud that this went out to their list and the response has been positive. I hope to create more cartoony emails in the future.
Trojan MOuse
I am excited that an illustration of mine has found its way into the Stanford Social Innovation Review! A Trojan Mouse. Article by Jackie Mahendra.
