Illustration

• My latest bit of Photoshop work is a variation on the excellent LOTR screenshots available at Quintessentialwebsites. While I loved the visuals overall, I thought the Elves should look a bit more exotic and magical. Compare this with the unretouched Galadriel here.
• A fun children's book project was Beyond the Stopsign by Bettyann Kevles. Two color illustrations were "What have we here?" and "I don't eat boys. I'm a vegetarian!". The story is about a small boy who wanders too far in the city and meets a dragon.
• Simpler children's books on disk were produced by Intentional Educations of Newton, Mass. Two of these were Charlotte's Web and Island of the Dolphins.
They were published as "Novel Connections", a tool to teach writing.
• Planaria Crossing, a response to a streetsign in Cambridge.
• Characters for projects on affective agents at the Media Lab. Here is a sample character, and an interactive cartoon baby.
• Illustrations for the original Web version of City of Bits, a book by Prof. William J. Mitchell, Dean of the MIT Architecture School. Original illustrations available here only include: Netcash, Cyberporn, City of Bits, and Bodynet. The first two were selected to be part of The Gallery@Prepress, a juried show.
• A logo illustration for Webdoggie, a project of the Agents Group at the Media Lab.
• Technical illustrations, also for Intentional Educations. We produced science tutorials for the public school market, from which sprang this heart for a biology disk.

• illustrations for Thad Starner's page on Wearable Computing. Here are illustrations for Augmented Memory and Virtual Collectives.
• Vectors, (big 314k jpeg), a set of portraits of people I know with graphical encoding of their phone numbers- I usually remember phone numbers graphically and kinesthetically, by punching them in sequence on a keypad, not as data strings. This picture was chosen to be in Portraits in Cyberspace, a juried show of the MIT Media Lab's 10th anniversary celebration. Here are the individual pictures of Alma, Andy, and Tim.
