Gladys West by  NIKKOLAS

Gladys West is an American mathematician who contributed to the mathematical modeling of the shape of the Earth, and her work on the development of the satellite geodesy models. These models were later incorporated into the Global Positioning System (GPS), which we know and use every day. From the mid-1970s through the 1980s, Gladys programmed an IBM computer that delivered precise calculations to model the shape of the Earth – an ellipsoid with irregularities, known as the geoid. By using extremely complex algorithms, she generated an extremely accurate model that took into account variations in gravitational, tidal, and other forces of nature that can impact the Earth's shape. Gladys' work ultimately became the basis for GPS.

I’m revamping my Tumblr! It’s been forever… let’s recap:

In the past 5-ish years I got married, had a son, left Walt Disney Imagineering, became a full time freelance illustrator, worked on Space Jam 2, Black Panther Wakanda Forever, Judas and the Black Messiah, They Cloned Tyrone, and illustrated the Wakanda Forever Picture book, 1619 Project picture book, Ruby Bridges Picture Book, That Flag picture book, more movie posters, and continued my Sunday Sketch series (BLM portraits, King Chad art, etc) which is almost 10 years old!

…and 2023 is about to be 🤯
