Warning! Full view is large... very large.

It all started three years ago on deviantART. [link]

A project to bring the federal budget to the people that pay for it.

Gaining momentum on deviantART [link] and then blossoming worldwide, Death and Taxes: 2008 is culmination of months of work and years of refinement.

It is the 2008 Federal discretionary budget of the United States. is a representational poster of the federal discretionary budget; the amount of money that is spent at the discretion of your elected representatives in Congress. Basically, your federal income taxes. The data is from the President's budget request for 2008. It will be debated, amended, and approved by Congress by October 1st to begin the fiscal year.

The poster provides a uniquely revealing look at our national priorities, that fluctuate yearly, according to the wishes of the President, the power of Congress, and the will of the people. If you pay taxes, then you have paid for a small part of everything in the poster.

So now you know what you've paid for, the next question to ask, is why?

Spread the word! This is a poster of your near future!


View the poster in an interactive flash viewer.

Finally! Death and Taxes: 2007 is released!

What started on DeviantART 2 years ago has turned into a monolith of data. I hope you can put it to good use.

This is the federal discretionary budget. Your federal income taxes at work. You paid for part of everything in this graph whether you like it or not.

Tips on reading this graph
The file is 2 megs so it might be slow loading. Another viewer is here [link]
Read the center circle first.
The graph is split into military funding on the right side and non-military funding on the left side, unless otherwise noted
The departments on the left side are in loose clockwise alphabetical order, e.g. Agriculture, Commerce, Education, Energy...etc.
Don't forget about the national debt! Its the circle so big it doesn't even fit in the box.

I found the great typography artwork of fabianohikaru and wanted to show him my version of it.

Inspired by a similar design on Deviant art. I cant remember the name of the artist.

This is a simple typography.

10 thousands days in the fire is long enouegh...you're going home..

I wanted to make a green Typography Piece
I really like how it turned out

don't really know to say about it
people are always jealous, or wish for something the neighbour owns.
it's also a way of seeing yourself. like when you are not satisfied with the way you are, the way you look etc. you compare yourself to others. You might not know how other people see you, and that there's nothin to worry about really.
mmh, is it really a sign of low selfesteem? i don't know
just brabbling along

comments and critique is welcome
