Summer evenings and a new job to go along with it.

I have a really wonderful new job for the summer. It's a design position with a small consulting group. This is the kind of job that I could really learn to love, and of course, its all about the people. My boss and my coworker are really wonderful people, really interesting and have some great ideas. I am also allowed a lot of room to stretch my wings.

When I signed up for this job I thought I would be doing a lot of graphic design and illustration, things I can do and I enjoy. What I've found myself doing is being thrown headlong into intricate data visualization and business info graphic work.

If you need some examples of what data visualization can look like, check out Jonathan Harris or Aydin Mohseni.

Its some seriously challenging work, and I'm loving it.

And to make sure there is some art on this post somewhere, here are some photos of a gorgeous midwest sunset I took with my camera phone.
