My Fun-A-Day paintings

I have two pieces in a show called “The $1 Burger Wars” opening on Friday at the Mill Gallery in Santa Cruz:

If you spent the revenue of an average Burger King restaurant on $1 burgers, the losses incurred would be of equal value to this many $1 burgers.

Code Snippet:
float revenue2008 = 2454.7; //in millions
float restaurants2008 = 11565;
//multiply by one million to convert revenue to dollars
int averageRevenue = int(revenue2008/restaurants2008 * 1000000);
int burgerLosses = int(averageRevenue * .10); //you lose 10 cents on each burger
for (int i = 0; i < burgerLosses; i++){
drawBurger();
}

If everyone in the US bought two $1 burgers this year, Burger King would be operating at a loss. Eating burgers is radical politics.

I have work in the Invisible Ingredient show at Rock Paper Scissors through July 24th. I installed 19 photos (which are all up on my new Flickr page), a wall mural (entitled “Daybreak”) based on sensor data visualizations and three large data visualization prints (not pictured).

I designed this mural for Miki Foster’s MFA exhibition, which opens tomorrow at the Santa Cruz Museum of Art and History. Thanks to Elizabeth for her immense help painting, which allowed us to put it all together in four days.
