sa: "language shapes thought"by *strongstuff

Digital Art / Vector / Other

here's a full page illo that appears in the current issue (february 2011) of scientific american.

the story details how people in different areas of the world have different spatial relationships with their environments because of the ways that their languages shape their thought processes. pretty wild stuff.

it was a last-minute assignment (so i had to turn it around pretty quickly), but i'm really happy with the result. and as always, i get a charge out of wandering into a bookstore and finding something i helped to create on the magazine rack.

As an aspiring Psychologist, this one is probably my favorite (although I am rather fond of your Invader Zim Calendar Excerpt, despite the fact that you have never seen it!)!! Braaains!

I stumbled across your work on Tuts+ and followed you here and your website. Saw that this piece was in SciAm and coincidentally, that issue lay on my ottoman at my feet. So I opened it up and sure enough, there it was!

Love your art deco style for modern culture. I could see framing your works on my walls.

Language shaping thought was one of the premises of control that George Orwell wrote into his novel "1984".
