Upcoming Chartist-in-Residency on Wednesday May 22nd!

mappleton:

Next Wednesday on May 22nd, I will be given the digital keys to my favourite visual information blog I Love Charts to run it for twelve glorious hours! The quintessential tumblr for chart-lovers everywhere, I Love Charts has long supplied me with inspiration, information, illumination, and insight. They are also among the impressive ranks of those who turn blogs into book deals – you can buy the book “I Love Charts” (a collection of their best finds) from Amazon.

Previous Chartists-in-Residence include such big-chart-names as Wendy MacNaughton, Jessica Hagey of Indexed, and Dante Sherperd of Surviving the World (better known as science-coat-and-chalkboard-man).

As a chartist-in-residence, I will spend the day posting the mass release of new Quote Charts, a smattered collection of charts that I admire, and an interactive submission session where you can send in your favourite quotes and I will try to speed-illustrate and post ones that “speak to me,” as it were.

I even drew a new chart to “explain myself” (a veritable task in itself):image

Stop by next Wednesday and watch it all unfold. The chart glory will be plentiful!

I’m thrilled to announce that next Wednesday, May 22, Maggie Appleton will be doing a Chartist in Residence. I first ran into Maggie’s work thanks to a few of her rather ingenious charts of quotations (like the one below) that made their way to my inbox. Maggie is an illustrator-designer-chartist with a penchant for anthropology, tea, and illuminating quotations and we will be giving her the keys to the blog next Wednesday to do whatever she choses for the entire day. Please tune in to see some brand new charts and illustrations and whatever else she decides to bring to the table with her unique charting style. Should be awesome!
