@daretorant 1/ Oh so many favourites… where to begin!

@Nsousanis and their illustrated philosophy PhD(!) ‘Unflattening’ had an enourmous influence on me

@wendymac makes the best narrative diagrams and drawn journalism

@NearSitedMonkey won a literal genius grant for visual storytelling

@daretorant @Nsousanis @wendymac @NearSitedMonkey 2/ @matteofarinella not only visually explains neuroscience, but critically researches comics/graphics as a science in itself

@visual_linguist explores it through a rigorous theoretical lens that helps you see the structures underneath how visual syntax works

@daretorant @Nsousanis @wendymac @NearSitedMonkey @matteofarinella @visual_linguist 3/ @PosNegOrg does very special work applying visual storytelling to human rights issues

@abstractsunday is on another level. Best in class IRL visual remixing and finds narratives everywhere

@worrydream for the programmatic and interactive side of viz explanations

@daretorant @Nsousanis @wendymac @NearSitedMonkey @matteofarinella @visual_linguist @PosNegOrg @abstractsunday @worrydream 4/ @wearecognitive’s Andrew Park made all the original RSA animations of famous talks you’ve likely seen around

@lunchbreath always nails it for culturally insightful and witty illustrations

Many more, but I don’t want to overwhelm :D The above are an education in themselves
