We are on a rock floating through space
Found another good quote on reddit (although I think I’ve seen this one before as Graffiti).

American House
I wanted to illustrate a series of traditional American buildings, each with a twist. This is the first of three images.

World Aids Day
We’ve just had the pleasure of working with Stop Aids Campaign and The UK Coalition to Stop TB on illustrating some of the facts and figures surrounding world aids day. More after the break.

The TSA
After reading about some of the things the TSA has been up to recently, I thought I’d remix one of my old posters. Obviously I think that airport security is generally a good thing, but this feels like it’s gone too far.

Carry On
I needed something to remind myself that in most day-to-day work situations, everyone is just pretending to know what’s happening. There’s a PDF here, if this is something you’d like to be reminded of (and a desktop too). And remember; Keep Calm. Nobody else knows what they’re doing either.

Science is Like Sex…
If I had to pick a single scientist to eloquently sum up why we love science it would be Richard Feynman, a quantum-physicist Richard Feynman, who worked on the Manhattan Project, amongst other things.

Pale Blue Dot
‘Look again at that dot. That’s here. That’s home. That’s us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives – on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.’
Every so often Reddit exposes me to a quote so poignant that I have to illustrate it. These quotes often belong to Carl Sagan (though I would imagine he would’ve said they belong to humanity). Hopefully my edit does his words justice.

Health Care Reform
Nice to see that the healthcare bill passed in America. This is a bastardisation of a quote that’s been attributed to many from Ghandi to Churchill (and here), but is one that I feel is rather appropriate. The US just got a bit better, well done guys. First five people who can prove they spent a week or more actively campaigning for the bill can have a free copy of the above.

What’s it Worth?
‘A hospital cleaner generated ten times their pay in social wealth, but it still takes 27 of them to replace that destroyed by a city banker’

For once Benjamin consented to break his rule, and he read out to her what was written on the wall.
A few weeks ago I was asked by Breadpig to design a t-shirt and poster based on perhaps the best known passage from Animal Farm;
‘For once Benjamin consented to break his rule, and he read out to her what was written on the wall. There was nothing there now except a single Commandment. It ran: ALL ANIMALS ARE EQUAL BUT SOME ANIMALS ARE MORE EQUAL THAN OTHERS’

Doug’s Law
The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be impossible to get at or repair – Douglas Adams (via IanCal)
This has gone through countless revisions, probably because I’m such a fan, and doing something visual in the style of such an iconic writer is almost impossible (which I guess is why the Hitch Hikers film was so disappointing).
This print is no substitute for a good towel. -
You Dirty Thing, You
In the average adult are 100 trillion human cells and 1,500 trillion microbes. At best you are a little more than 10% you. We’re all just petri dishes with shoes.

The Greatest Story Ever Told (or history in a sentence)
Hydrogen is an odorless colorless gas which, given enough time, turns into people
A good poster for: Physicists and Scientists
A bad poster for: Creationists

Beyond The Thunderfloat
The Milk… The Milk always gets through.
This poster can be bartered for dairy products in a post-apocalyptic wasteland.

No One Raindrop Thinks it Caused The Flood
Next time someone says there’s no point in doing something because they’re just one person, point this out. This poster seals walls, fast!

Everything else is commentary
Do unto others as you would have others do unto you. Everything else is commentary. This seems to us to be one of the central threads that runs through every rational person, be they religious, atheist, or ‘other’.

For those who like their yolk very well-done. Not for anyone who likes quality puns.

If you feed a panda a rainbow…
…will he puke you into orbit? And if he doesn’t but you enjoyed the ride, does it matter?

There are 51 bicycles on this poster
The average car contains enough metal to manufacture over 50 bicycles. The average tree could make over 4,000 copies of this poster, if we could get it to hold a pencil.

Mountain Goats
We’ve never seen a mountain goat, but we assume they’re about twenty miles long with a hill for a back, right? This poster stops nose bleeds at altitude.

The more you know!
Did you know, that your body contains enough DNA to make a line from the Earth to the Sun and back, 70 times?
Or that if you lay all the blood vessels in your body end to end you’d die.

Tactical Nuclear Autumn
Tactical Nuclear Autumn
When the days start becoming cooler the leaves explode from the trees in a riot of colour. I <3 Autumn. (and in the United States and Canada, I <3 Fall).

Giant Robots are People Too! Except they’re not, obviously.
The five Stages of Giant Robot Life;
1. Flight
2. Landing
3. Rampage
4. Inevitable defeat by man, but at what cost
5. From the empty shell new life is born and flies into to the sequel, prequel, reboot, whatever -
There are 59 skulls in this image
There are 59 skulls in this image
Apparently, according to Harvard Medical School, 45,000 Americans die a year due to lack of Universal Healthcare. That’s 58 times the number of people who die yearly due to terrorism, at least according to the US Department of State (although we’re not entirely sure what they class as ‘terrorism’).
