AWPA Illustration Finalist Client: Wider Horizons Alumni Magazine This was a special collaboration with the award winning Alumni magazine. Rather than print their Valedictorian's moving speech in full, I worked with Editor Lisa Kozleski to condense the speech, which I then illustrated and hand-lettered. The result is somewhere between an article, a graphic recording and a short comic, and was nominated for Best Illustration by the Alberta Magazine Publishers Association. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/508965dae4b08eaef9f0190e/1776204258839-2FSJUZVEGJCCR78R414H/gilliang.com+Scholastic+pg1.png Graphic Recording, Video - Scholastic 60 Year Anniversary Mural Client: Scholastic Wall sized paper illustration from the Scholastic 60th celebration.

Bindercon is a conference for women and non-gender conforming writers. It's the best. See full notes from this talk, and the conference HERE. What are Sketchnotes? Instead of being visible while drawing, sketchnotes are drawn from the audience, and presented after the fact. They provide a fantastic visual and type record best suited to presentations where having a graphic recorder may not be ideal or possible, i.e. A presentation with it's own visuals, sensitive material, a small presentation space, or a presenter who is not comfortable with the spectacle.
