Easter 2009

I've finally brought my two favorite hobbies together into one place,
By drawing a comic that includes a rabbit who wears an apron and bakes!

Faculty Newsletter Comic

This was an illustration I was asked to do for MIT's faculty newletter, to accompany an article about poor cell phone reception around campus.

Valentines Day 2009

Yes yes, I *know* I have the boy and girl "parts" reversed...

MIT Homepage for Energy Futures Week

I designed this image for the MIT homepage to publicize the beginning of Energy Futures Week, a series of events about energy technologies, policy, research, careers, and action steps that was coordinated by the Energy Initiative.

Christmas 2008

Rudolph the LED-nosed Reindeer had an eco-friendly nose,
And if you ever saw it, you would see how bright it glows.

All of the other reindeer didn't fully understand it,
They never realized Rudolph was just trying to save the planet.

Then one pricey Christmas Eve, Santa came to say,
"Rudolph with your efficient scnhoz,
Won't you help me with my cause?"

Then all the reindeer loved him, and they shouted out with glee,
"Rudolph the LED-nosed reindeer, you save so much energy!"

Thanksgiving 2008

T'was the day 'fore Thanksgiving, and all through the kitchen,
Not a side dish was stirring, not even a fixin'.

The dishes were set on the table with care,
In hopes that a great feast soon would be there.

...I'd finish this poem, but away I must dash!
For there's a turkey to cook, and potatoes to mash!

So here's wishing you the most joyful of days,
And THANKS for being you, in so many ways!

Halloween 2008

Helpful Halloween Hint:

If you're trying to save money on this Ween that is Hallo,
Keep in mind that the candy will be on sale tomorrow!

Bird Brain

I drew this comic in celebration of being offered the position of student activities coordinator with the MIT Energy Initiative (aka, MITEI, pronounced 'mighty'!) I am really looking forward to working with students again, at my alma mater, and in a fairly newly established program with globally important goals. My role in the program will include providing guidance to energy and sustainability student groups, helping to organize student leadership events, and coordinating student/faculty relationships for relevant research projects.

Fourth of July

I cannot believe it's already July!   
Spring here in Boston always seems to fly by.
But I guess with the Celtics' spectacular scores, 
And the restaurants' wide open patio doors,
It's no wonder I haven't kept track of the time.

...SO, while my comic has little to do with this rhyme,
I wish you a Fourth that's an absolute blast!   
Let's hope it's not over and done with so fast...

(Coincidentally, I'll be in NYC this year for the 4th. But I'll be driving, so I can bring my torch if I darn well please.)

Easter

I had thought the bunny should say something in return (friends had suggested some great quips about diversifying one's portfolio, for example), but Easter approached so quickly this year that I didn't have time to incorporate the additional quote. Thus it is left to the reader exactly WHAT the chicken said about the situation.
