Making of The Naturalist’s Library
A big project is something special. The excitement of the unknown, watching it evolve, and trying new ideas are things I look forward to in every project. Recreating The Naturalist’s Library was no different and presented unique challenges, from an overabundance of source…

Making of Printing Types
Researching is like treasure hunting—following clue after clue in the hopes of finding something amazing. When I set out to create a digital edition of Daniel Updike’s Printing Types , I had no idea that I was going to spend months hunting down more than 1,200 books spanning…

Making of Clavis Cælestis: A Synopsis of the Universe
I’ve long loved astronomy. Spending even a few seconds thinking about the wonders in the universe gives me a sense of joy. I marvel at what the scientific community has been able to learn about its inner workings from our tiny blue marble. When I stumbled upon Thomas Wright’s…

Making of the New York and Erie Railroad organizational diagram
Org charts tend to be a rather boring affair—with their lists of names and who reports to whom—but they didn’t start out that way. One of the first in American business, is a stunning portrait of a classic institution—the New York and Erie Railroad. Drawn in 1855 and only…

Making of The Natural System of Colours
Recreating Mose Harris’ color wheels from the eighteenth century seemed straightforward until it wasn’t. I’ve long admired his “prismatic” and “compound” wheels and set a small design challenge for myself to recreate them digitally. As with most projects, it took an unexpected…

Living with Nausea: My story in six charts
I used to have boring health. I never had more than the flu, been admitted to the hospital, and I could eat whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted. In late 2023, that changed when I developed chronic nausea. The nausea started on November 20, 2023, with what I thought was nothing…

Making of Lilies & Roses of P.J. Redouté
“Patience” was this project’s theme. Breathing new life into Les Liliacées and Les Roses —two of Pierre-Joseph Redouté’s most well known collections—taught me a lot about it during the 11 months this project took to complete. Simply put, Redouté’s illustrations are stunning. His…

Making of Humming-Birds
Hummingbirds are the closest living descendants of dinosaurs like the T. rex—one of many fascinating facts I learned while working on the digital edition of A Monograph of the Trochilidæ, or Family of Humming-Birds . Gaining unexpected knowledge has to be one of the best parts…

Metra ticket gallery updates
Fifteen years have passed since the last official update on my Metra Ticket Gallery . An update is long overdue considering the number of tickets has grown dramatically to nearly 1,400. It’s about time I gave a new one about the latest additions and improvements. During the 19…

Making of The Color Printer
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. In fact, I wasn’t going to make a full digital edition but completing the poster made it so much more approachable and…

Making of The Four Books of Architecture
Architecture has repeatedly grabbed my attention since I was young—from studying it in high school and creating buildings in video games to designing websites for firms winning architectural awards. It’s fitting that my interest is piqued once again for a digital edition of one…
