• Client work: The Student Loan Scheme: Gateway Drug to Debt Slavery

  
  This one, which is more of a graphic article than infographic, is hugely important.  What we are doing to our students, that the government is a willing participant in, is outrageous. Forget credit card debt, our educational loan industry is producing a generation of students shackled with exploding and uncompromising debt.  The federal government has stripped students of [...]
  
  

• Client Work: Google’s Acquisition Appetite

  
  So I have seen plenty of giant lists of Google’s acquisitions and I knew there was a better way to display that info.  So I combined a bunch of variables and data points from each acquisition into a single chart.  Is it too complex? Too many variables? useful? Interesting? Let me know.  This is definitely [...]
  
  

• Client Work: The History of Search

  
  This one is quite large.  A visual history of Search and what it took, who it took, to make it possible to find stuff on the web.  Starts in 1994 and goes on up to Google’s dominance. To support my work, please digg, retweet or otherwise spread the good word!
  
  

• Client work: Inside the Glenn Beck-Goldline Scheme

  
  So this infographic went through a tumultuous history which I won’t get into.  But I must give credit to Barry Ritholtz for picking it up and publishing it when others wouldn’t.  After many weeks in limbo, this infographic is finally seeing the light of day.  Enjoy! To support my work, please digg it, retweet it, or [...]
  
  

• My year long secret project is now… public!

  
  So most of you know me for me freelance infographics and the Death and Taxes poster. However for the past year, myself and a small team of developers, artists and smart folks have been laboring away on a project in an entirely different space. Turn based online strategy gaming. I am super excited to [...]
  
  

• Client work: World Series of Poker

  
  I knew poker had been getting big for some time now, but I had no idea the amount of money involved was so huge.    $8 million for one tournament?  I read recently that the team salary cap for Major League Soccer is only $2.4 million.  I know it’s soccer.. but still.  Enjoy.
  
  

• Client work: The Incredible Savant Brain

  
  This one was quite fun and interesting to research.  We all know Rain man but some of these folks have quite superhuman abilities that show that the brain is capable of way more than we can ‘unlock’ from it.  And it’s not just autism or some genetic mutation, these savant abilities may just be dormant [...]
  
  

• Client work: How Google Works

  
  So here is my latest infographic, hot off the press.  How Google Works.  It’s a flow type chart that diagrams the process of how google gets it data and what happens in the second after you search.  It’s a $20 billion a  year process for google, and pretty interesting. Please support my work by digging it, [...]
  
  

• Client work: Generic Vs Brandname Drugs

  
  This one for mint.com deals with the idiocy of paying more for an identical product.  I can think of a more clear cut case of the lapse in rational judgment and the raw effect of $114 million in advertising. To support my work please digg and rewteet.  Thanks!
  
  

• Death & Taxes: 2011 RELEASED!
