37signals' REWORK Book Illustrations

This week, Jason, David and the team at 37signals have launched a site for REWORK, their new business book being released on Tuesday, March 9th, 2010.

I'm proud to say that I'm the illustrator for REWORK!

How'd That Happen?

I've been connected with Jason since 2007, after sketchnoting SEED 1, SEED 3 and Jason's solo talk at Milwaukee's Discovery World in September 2008.

Jason contacted me in September 2009 about illustrating the essays that make up REWORK, in my signature black & white sketchnote style.

Of course, I said yes. :-)

When the project was complete, there were 90 sketchnote illustrations created, along with custom sketchnote typography for each of the chapter breaks.

Creating that many illustrations for conceptual essays, all geared to work together was quite a challenge. It was also a ton of fun.

Thanks for choosing me Jason and David — I truly appreciate it.

Illustration Samples

I can't wait for you to see the full set of 90 illustrations, but that has to wait until March 9th. In the meantime, here are 6 sample illustrations from REWORK:
