🎉 New work!
Two large-scale data artworks (3×4 m each!) to fit entire walls.
Abstract, water-inspired spirals showing past + future energy use (2000–2050) and maritime energy demand.
Colored streams = energy types, stream density = usage.

Had a great time talking with Jon Schwabish from the PolicyViz Podcast about my new book CHART 😃 We talked about a lot different dataviz topics. From straightforward charts to data art. My design process, the importance of sketching, and my client work.
