A chart showing the bloom patterns of cherry blossoms in Washington, D.C. over the past ten years. A noticeable shift in bloom patterns has occurred, with warmer temperatures causing the flowers to bloom earlier and complete their development cycle more rapidly. Published by Sara Staedicke.

The image shows three visualizations relating to the Spanish dish "torrija", which is similar to French toast. The first visualization is a step-by-step guide on how to make the dish. The second is a chart showing when it is traditionally eaten during Lent. Lastly, a line chart shows the cost of making the dish. Published by El Paรญs.
A map showing when leaves emerged in the U.S. this year compared to the 30-year average. The majority of the U.S., especially the west coast, is experiencing leaves blooming up to four weeks earlier than usual. Published by the Washington Post.

adding simple animation to illustrations can really up impact (and it's SO easy with procreate): happy with these gifs for a story about how unpaid DHS employees have been affected by the partial government shutdown:
an amazing (!) effort, especially all of the examples of creatives combining data + textiles -- i super loved Wendy Ward's project where she adds a french knot to her clothes every time she wears them:

3 things i like about my Lyme disease cases map:
๐ data available since 2001, but cycling 4 key years helps emphasize trend
๐ county border tooltip changes b/w dark grey or white depending on data for better visibility
๐ the map reset button features a super *cute* icon of the continental US
i like this graphic b/c:
- it keeps the visual language of a calendar but drops dates/months that aren't important
- super easy to see key primaries
- IF the reader wants a little more context, the color key notes if it's a senate or gov. race that we expect to be competitive/interesting
This 2026 US election calendar graphic is showing a horizontal calendar-style timeline of primary election dates from March through September, with the general election on Nov. 3. Each date row shows the states holding primaries, with dark purple boxes highlighting "primaries to watch," and small green dots marking competitive Senate races and orange dots marking competitive governor races.
new graphic from me: 2026 election calendar ๐๏ธ
i'm happy with how this turned out! i iterated a lot over the design trying trying to make a complicated election season readable at a glance
why i think it works... ๏ฟฝ
An illustration in an isometric style showing a day in the life of a USPS postwoman. The overall composition shows a city streetscape, with each individual stamp representing a small but visually compelling fragment.
Chris Ware's new design for USPS is so good?? love the overall isometric illustration of a postwoman's day and how thoughtfully composed each stamp is
ever come across ESRI data and struggle to extract it?? my brilliant colleage @stiles.bsky.social created a super useful tool to help! github.com/stiles/ezesri
i think so - thanks so much for flagging that Peter!
so thrilled to be a part of this!

Detailed diagram of Android Rendering, going from UI definition all the way to the display, with drawings of each stage
๐ฅ I did an explainer about how Android rendering works!
This is part of a series on rendering, Iโll be showing how each platform renders so that people can learn and compare/contrast
Map of flight paths around the Los Angeles fires. Flight paths are indicated by red lines, roads by gray lines, forested areas with muted green, and active fires with dark gray dots. The map is accented by hill shading.
Annotated graphs of altitude and flight times for observation aircraft and tankers, showing coordination of the fleet.
Hand-drawn illustration showing how helicopters and aircraft are used to dump water and flame retardant to help fight wildfires.
High-resolution color satellite image showing red flame retardant laid in front of an advancing fire with copious smoke.
The graphics in this @reuters.com article on air tankers battling the fires in LA are astonishingly good.

Love the use of overhead isometric 3D in this @washingtonpost.com article, which shows how the "wind tunnel" effect of gaps in the mountains results in gusts of hot, dry air that increase the severity and spread of fires in the region.

fascinating - really enjoyed reading about your process. hope i can dream something up with bauble!
no thank *you* - it's hard to come by great examples of arc diagrams! :)
fantastic reporting and context in this visual explainer by the CNN data & graphics team:

Chart headline: Exceptional rain followed by drought gave way to more vegetation, setting the scene for LA wildfires Chart subhead: The flip from extremely wet to dry set the stage for the Los Angeles-area wildfires. These moments of so-called weather whiplash are becoming more frequent and more impactful as the planet warms. Chart title: Monthly precipitation in 2024 recorded at UCLA weather station Chart description: Chart shows unusually high precipitation recorded in February at 19.3 inches, far above the 4.6-inch norm for the month. From April onward, very little rain is recorded throughout the year, despite wet season typically beginning in October. Chart source: Source: National Weather Service and National Centers for Environmental Information (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration)
๐จ NEW: Exceptional rain followed by drought set the scene for LA wildfires
New chart showing how abnormal precipitation patterns last year are contributing to the intensity of the LA fires. While wet season was supposed to begin in Oct, virtually no rain was recorded in the final months of 2024.
