The Rughs’ artwork is bright, bold and graphic — and it supports advocacy for and education about people on the spectrum. Leave a comment, and one reader will win a piece of silkscreened artwork by this talented couple. Today’s poster has a quote that the Rughs came across in “The Truth About Autism,” an article from the February issue of Wired Magazine. *   *   * It’s impossible to predict with any certainty how anyone diagnosed with autism is going to turn out. Chris Fitzmaurice was 12 years old before he learned to sound out the letters of the alphabet. Until then, his communication and ...

After all, autism isn’t a one-size-fits-all condition. Just in time to save us from advocacy-image-burnout, Jaime and Jeffrey Rugh, a  N.J. couple who are artists and the parents of two children on the spectrum, have started designing and producing posters that are sharp and unusual. Image courtesy of Jaime and Jeffrey Rugh Reminiscent of the works of Alexander Girard and Corita Kent, the Rughs’ posters brim with color and message. The Rughs are producing the posters to promote awareness, support and compassion for people with autism, as well as families and communities who live with those on the spectrum. Prices are $15 to $25 per piece, and a portion of the proceeds will be given to an organiza...

Today I was given a pamphlet from a nonprofit organisation called PAIN Exhibit in the US.  The organiser and creator of this group is Mark Collen, who has experienced chronic pain for over ten years.  If you go to the website PainExhibit.com, you’ll find some incredibly powerful images created by people who have chronic pain.  Some of the images are hard to look at, they’re so evocative. Mark has published a brief pamphlet about chronic pain, and the website also has some information about chronic pain, but the main purpose of the site is ...

Over the years, I've really learned to really, really hate presentations that suck. For inspiration and tips on how to avoid presentation suckage myself, I frequently visit Garr Reynolds' excellent Presentation Zen site. Being a musician myself, I found his posting on Jazz and the Art of Connecting particularly interesting. In this post, Reynolds (who paid his way through college playing jazz) shares quotes from jazz greats that are relevant to non-musical presentations. Here's one:Dizzy Gillespie: It’s taken me all my life to learn what not to play.Amen. I'm frequently asked to cram way too much information into way too little time, e.g. 4 years of radiology residency into a 75 minute talk. Instead, I spend the ti...

Now, wouldn’t it be fun if we could actually make the heart model to beat in 3D. This is not too difficult to do actually; we would just need a number of sculptie textures, each texture representing a given 3D animation state, and run through the set leaving a few time gaps to let the shape settle before moving on to the next sculptie texture. The heart model and the lung sound ausculation tool (further right in the picture) are curre...
