Welcome!
Welcome to my second newsletter. A lot has been going on, both in my life and the world.

Update on Whimsical Data Visualization
Randy Rainbow released a new video this month (02/18/20). So, I updated my whimsical visualization of his 10+ years of videos. The interactive version is on my site: http://kristinhenry.github.io/randyRainbow.html
Covid19
Well, this is becoming more concerning. Here in San Francisco, our mayor has declared a State of Emergency to facilitate preparations for if or when cases occur in our city. The CDC is a great source of information. However, do pay attention to future censorship of Scientific information that contradicts White House policy. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/index.html
What can we do? At this point, for your health:
- Wash your hands with soap and water, regularly. Get in the habit of washing your hands when you arrive at a new destination, such as the office or home.
- If you're not feeling well, stay home. It's probably just a cold or allergies.
- Prepare. If you live in California, think of it as making sure your earthquake survival kit is up to date. Do you have enough supplies to survive for 3 days without going to a store? Two weeks, in extreme?
#inkyDays
Covid19 has been on my mind, and is working it's way into my daily drawings.
If you'd like to see more of these drawings, my comments, and in-progress versions, check out my
Patreon. For just the drawings, I periodically update my
#inkyDays gallery on my
portfolio site.
