SBY - Capable hands

When I had a look at the IF topic this week of 'Capable' it immediately reminded me of an article I read in this saturday's issue of The Australian newspaper. 

SBY shepherds Indonesia into a modern society.

by Greg Sheridan, Foreign Editor - The Australian - Feb 25, 2012.

Sheridan writes an interesting and insightful piece about the Indonesian President, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono. The first line of the very positive story goes; The presidency of Indonesia now fits Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono like a warm glove on a winter's day.

The story goes on to describe the leader as comfortable in his own skin and having a very capable rule in Indonesia. It talked about his initiatives with the rulers of Burma and the relationship between Indonesia and Australia. It was a good read and timely as had recently been thinking a bit about East Timor and the politics of Indonesia since the fall of Suharto.

This collage from the Brownsnake Sketchbook was one I had started last week when thinking about that subject.

Global Warming - Weldon Owen

To follow up the last post and continue the environmental theme I thought I would post these images I created last year for  Weldon Owen and their Global issues series. These are for the first volume which was entitled 'Global Warming'.

The top image is an isometric infographic showing a bioreactor which is a way of harvesting gases from rubbish tips. The second image shows an isometric cutaway of an environmentally friendly residence.

Once again these images were created using adobe illustrator from pencil rough templates.
