RSA Animate
Andrew Park created the original concept and design for the RSA Animate cartoon series that has transfered the contents of RSA speeches and books to the medium of (hand-drawn) cartoon animations.
The first animation drawn by Andrew Park in the RSA Animate series was based on Renata Salecl's speech delivered for RSA on her book about choice.
The most recently drawn is based on a 500-page book by psychiatrist Iain McGilchrist on the topic of the devided (human) brain.
Other notable work
He was also chosen by Bill Gates to illustrate his Gates Foundation lecture on the power of vaccines.
