The Home Depot Foundation has completed the updated Sustainable Cities Institute website which I wrote about in a previous post, and can now be found online here.

Randal Birkey created the base map illustration that the interactive Flash application is structured around.

Randal also created the site plan for the City Hall section of the application.

Finally, he created the view of how transportation could be integrated in more sustainable and environmentally friendly ways by city and urban planners.

Testing Water for Toxicity

Testing Water for Toxicity

Randal Birkey did this line illustration for Newmont Gold, depicting a lab employee testing natural stream water for toxicity near a gold leeching facility. This illustration was done as a part of a series of illustrations on “How Gold Is Made” which has been featured in company annual reports, as well as on printed posters. The company pays close attention to the environmental impact of the gold mining and reclaiming process.
