Lazy blogging

I haven't been very good about updating the blog lately, which I take as a good sign because I've been so busy! So here are a few things from the past couple of months that slipped under the radar.

96 Hours cover for Memorial Day Weekend

Sunday Datebook cover about the people behind SF Film Fest

Look ma, more bitcoins!

Something for Health about breakthroughs in medical research

iPhone is watching you!

For the Business section, about the disparity between men and women in tech

Have I drawn enough coins yet?

Did you hear that a couple in California Gold Country found a stash of 19th century gold coins in their backyard, valued at $10 million? Pretty crazy. Sadly, they'll probably only end up with about $5 million after taxes... this illustration was for a Business story by Kathleen Pender about the whole thing. Read it here.

And this one was for a killed business story about quantum computing and bitcoin. I think I should change my title at work to "Official Coin Drawer." I think this is the fifth coin illustration I've done in recent memory. And no, I'm not a one trick pony; they keep asking for it!

Kickstarting DNA research

 

Illustration for Business about scientists studying DNA using Kickstarter to fund their research.

Facebook for sale

Facebook will soon have more ads, yippieee. Caleb Garling ponders why they don't put up a pay wall for people who don't want to deal here.

Home alone...

Apparently the rising interest rates on mortgages have people scrambling to buy houses. I don't really know what any of that means, but I liked the way this illustration turned out.

Dancing robots

Illustration for James Temples' story about RobotsLAB, a robot app store where I could, hypothetically, get an app to make my Roomba dance. Read it here.

Facebook IPO's 1 year anniversary

Happy anniversary on going public, Facebook. It's been disappointing, apparently. Have some cake!

Honeywords

Illustration for the Business section about new cybersecurity protocols that would generate multiple fake passwords for every real password, in an attempt to dissuade hackers and alert companies to security breaches. Read the story here!
