Page: Feed: --- ## [Making of The Naturalist’s Library](https://www.c82.net/blog/making-of-naturalists-library) _2026-07-07 · C82 - The works and words of Nicholas Rougeux_ A big project is something special. The excitement of the unknown, watching it evolve, and trying new ideas are things I look forward to in every project. Recreating The Naturalist’s Library was no different and presented unique challenges, from an overabundance of source material to creating my first book. Background and source material William Jardine’s Library , was a series of… ## [The Naturalist’s Library](https://www.c82.net/work/naturalists-library) _2026-07-07 · C82 - The works and words of Nicholas Rougeux_ ## [MultiSearch](https://www.c82.net/work/multisearch) _2026-04-02 · C82 - The works and words of Nicholas Rougeux_ ## [Making of Printing Types](https://www.c82.net/blog/making-of-printing-types) _2025-09-20 · C82 - The works and words of Nicholas Rougeux_ Researching is like treasure hunting—following clue after clue in the hopes of finding something amazing. When I set out to create a digital edition of Daniel Updike’s Printing Types , I had no idea that I was going to spend months hunting down more than 1,200 books spanning more than 450 years but I’m glad I did. This project involved more research than I’ve ever done.… ## [Printing Types](https://www.c82.net/work/printing-types) _2025-09-20 · C82 - The works and words of Nicholas Rougeux_ ## [Making of Clavis Cælestis: A Synopsis of the Universe](https://www.c82.net/blog/making-of-clavis-caelestis-a-synopsis-of-the-universe) _2025-05-24 · C82 - The works and words of Nicholas Rougeux_ I’ve long loved astronomy. Spending even a few seconds thinking about the wonders in the universe gives me a sense of joy. I marvel at what the scientific community has been able to learn about its inner workings from our tiny blue marble. When I stumbled upon Thomas Wright’s grand poster of his astronomical illustrations from 1742, I was immediately drawn in and thought recreating… ## [Clavis Cælestis: A Synopsis of the Universe](https://www.c82.net/work/clavis-caelestis) _2025-05-24 · C82 - The works and words of Nicholas Rougeux_ ## [Making of the New York and Erie Railroad organizational diagram](https://www.c82.net/blog/making-of-the-new-york-and-erie-railroad-organizational-diagram) _2025-03-29 · C82 - The works and words of Nicholas Rougeux_ Org charts tend to be a rather boring affair—with their lists of names and who reports to whom—but they didn’t start out that way. One of the first in American business, is a stunning portrait of a classic institution—the New York and Erie Railroad. Drawn in 1855 and only rediscovered in recent decades, this diagram captured my attention and I finally took the time to… ## [New York and Erie Railroad Organizational Diagram](https://www.c82.net/work/nyer) _2025-03-29 · C82 - The works and words of Nicholas Rougeux_ ## [Making of The Natural System of Colours](https://www.c82.net/blog/making-of-the-natural-system-of-colours) _2025-02-18 · C82 - The works and words of Nicholas Rougeux_ Recreating Mose Harris’ color wheels from the eighteenth century seemed straightforward until it wasn’t. I’ve long admired his “prismatic” and “compound” wheels and set a small design challenge for myself to recreate them digitally. As with most projects, it took an unexpected turn, but ultimately a good one. Source material Harris first published his… ## [Screen Share With Real Control (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/i5tvWHLzunG9) _2025-02-18 · **Sponsored**_ Collaborative screen sharing with simultaneous remote control — open source, like Screenhero. ## [The Natural System of Colours](https://www.c82.net/work/natural-colors) _2025-02-18 · C82 - The works and words of Nicholas Rougeux_ ## [Living with Nausea: My story in six charts](https://www.c82.net/blog/living-with-nausea-my-story-in-six-charts) _2025-01-12 · C82 - The works and words of Nicholas Rougeux_ I used to have boring health. I never had more than the flu, been admitted to the hospital, and I could eat whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted. In late 2023, that changed when I developed chronic nausea. The nausea started on November 20, 2023, with what I thought was nothing more than a mild upset stomach and has continued every day since, with varying intensity without any clear triggers.… ## [Making of Lilies & Roses of P.J. Redouté](https://www.c82.net/blog/making-of-lilies-and-roses-of-pj-redoute) _2024-11-03 · C82 - The works and words of Nicholas Rougeux_ “Patience” was this project’s theme. Breathing new life into Les Liliacées and Les Roses —two of Pierre-Joseph Redouté’s most well known collections—taught me a lot about it during the 11 months this project took to complete. Simply put, Redouté’s illustrations are stunning. His attention to detail in stippling and watercolor has… ## [Lilies & Roses of P.J.
