![]() ![]() The idea to offer puzzles was sparked by some recent comments that the mineralogy poster could be a good fit but they started me down an intriguing path of researching what it would take to get these puzzles manufactured. Puzzles are available for British & Exotic Mineralogy, Illustrations of the Natural Orders of Plants, and Byrne’s Euclid. I’m excited to announce that 1,000-piece jigsaw puzzles are now available for three of my projects with more to come. Announcing jigsaw puzzles October 29, 2020 For this project, I actively sought out an interesting one to explore and ended up finding two to create A Brief Visual Exploration of A Dictionary of Typography. During research phases for my past restoration projects, I often came across a surprising number of antique dictionaries and always overlooked them. Not many people read a dictionary cover to cover, let alone analyze every word, but I did and found it fascinating. Making of A Brief Visual Exploration of A Dictionary of Typography December 16, 2020 Comprising 500 plates, more than 13,000 illustrations, 1.6 million words, and spanning 13 months, it was a wonderful exercise in creativity and patience. The digital edition of Iconographic Encyclopædia from 1851 was by far, the largest and longest project I’ve undertaken. Making of Iconographic Encylopædia February 6, 2022 Ever since then, I thought it had potential as a fun project but avoided creating one due to language barriers and other reasons that turned out to be unfounded. Way back in 2014, a Dutch manuscript from about mixing watercolors from 1692 made a splash in the blogosphere, because while it was centuries old, few had given it much attention and it was such a beautifully preserved thorough account of how watercolors were mixed back then. Making of 17th Century Watercolors June 18, 2022 This is what I felt when I found Nicolas Bion’s treatise on mathematical instruments from 1709. When I stumble across a nice chunk of material that has those boundaries (like an old unique book), excitement really sets in. That existing material defines the boundaries I need to create something more. I work best with existing material-whether that be images, ideas, spreadsheets, documentation, books, etc. Making of Mathematical Instruments September 18, 2022 It’s fitting that my interest is piqued once again for a digital edition of one of the oldest and most well known architectural publications: Palladio’s treatise, The Four Books of Architecture. Making of The Four Books of Architecture January 8, 2023Īrchitecture has grabbed my attention repeatedly since I was young-from studying it in high school and making buildings in video games to designing websites for firms winning architectural awards. ![]() In fact, I wasn’t going to make a full digital edition but completing the poster poster made it so much more approachable and enjoyable. Unlike previous projects, I designed the poster based on Earhart’s 1892 treatise, The Color Printer before giving much thought to the design of the website.
