My current project is a lovely collaboration between Biomedical Communications and Cooler Solutions Inc. Therachoice is an educational tool designed to help individuals understand different cancer therapy choices and their associated risks.
The project has a strong focus on visual risk communication. We live in a world full of uncertainties, however, most of us have an aversion towards the idea of not knowing what will happen next.
My main role is to design transparent data visualization, and also provide the wireframe, content, and illustrations in an appropriate and sensitive manner.
Susan from Cooler Solutions Inc. wrote up a great primer about therachoice on their blog. Please check it out!
Need to draw/create more
I’ll be attending this year’s Association of Medical Illustrators meeting in Baltimore MD, July 20-23, 2011.
Polished up my pathology piece to submit to the AMI Salon. It’s not too different on web, but I think it will print better since details are most apparent in print!
Sketch from when I was volunteering at FITC Toronto.
Maybe I’ve posted this before but I found it lying around. Unreferenced fat and muscle sketch, probably draw in early 2010!
MRPs must be signed off before July 15 2011 this year!
I feel like I should redo all the main headshots
I received lots of help from friends and peers about the MRP and illustrations so far.
The end is within sight!
Linocut I did in May! Gold block printing ink on gray stock.
The things I made in C4D…
round up sketches
From Uncon 2010. Perhaps you will recognize some of these BMC alumni…?
from the gesture drawing tool again.
original, hanfu inspired
from posemaniacs again!
^remainder of human figure sketches from last year. 100!!!
Newest thing I drew a few days ago to explain the difference between “art” and “comic” scene, haha.
Pathology assignment
I’m coughing a lot and I can feel pain in my throat!! This bodes well for the critique this week.
biomedical layman communication…
me: sad/ironic that I’m rendering this when I can feel my own inflamed/swollen throat nodes
wk: what are these
me: lymph nodes (full of immune cells)
wk: ^ non-english
me: clumps of immune cells in your body, the blue circles are immune cells!!
wk: and they are climbing into the green tube through holes??
me: some of them reach their arms in and grab things from the tube (like bacteria, or any kind of foreign thing)
me: they filter things in the green tube!! and the immune cells eat/engulf the bad stuff
wk: I love your layman terms <3
me: i love how we’re calling a vessel = tube
b:I think it needs more cells giving each other FIST BUMPS. Like, “**** YEAH WE SCHOOLED THAT VESSEL”
me: dang I’m so going to draw fistbumping cells later
b: I WILL HOLD YOU TO THIS
I’ll remember now that I’ve posted this here!! Fist bumping macrophages~!!
more sketchbook drawings
(pen) I like the bottom left guy with the pompadour and rectangular face!
(Dying brush pen & marker) [November 1 2010] huhuhu
(Photoshop) [November 1 2010] I also made a blingee version but that one isn’t really suitable for this blog hahaha.
(pen) [November 1 2010] referenced from a fashion magazine
Sadly I missed November 2 because I had not committed to sketching every day yet…
(pencil & purple col erase) [November 3 2010] referenced from stock photos from Gesture Drawing Tool. I have not gone life drawing since last year, so it was hard pacing myself for time. I either drew too fast or too slow for these 2-5minute gestures.
(pencil + purple col erase) [November 4 2010] referenced from stock photos from Gesture Drawing Tool. Roughly 30-40 minutes involved.
(Photoshop) [November 4 2010] Such greatness! So much charm!!!
(pen) [November 4 2010] the black ones I drew while waiting for laundry. The blue ones are poses from Posemaniacs.
(pen) [November 5 2010] drawn on UTM shuttle bus after reading Two Generals. Though my drawings are really inspired/fictional…
60/100 sketches down… 40 to go…
I’m also trying to hit 2 birds with 1 stone by doing this in conjunction with SKETCHVEMBER with a few other artist friends!
