The history of Burning Man has always been a complex entity that has survived, nay, mutated over the years. And because of this, it has grown rapidly since its humble beginnings of a simple gathering on a beach.
The infographic poster shows only a small portion of what Burning Man is. By no means do mere numbers even begin to show a complete picture, as that is a history of stories, experiences, and individual tales.

I was recently interviewed by Jordan Salinger from the San Francisco Planning and Urban Research Association about this inforgraphic:
“For some it is a yearly spiritual revival providing an emotionally charged respite from reality; for others it simply means they are able to eat brunch without standing in line. The mark left by Burning Man on San Franciscans and this city is undoubtedly immense, but is hard to truly measure. The same can be said about the impact on Black Rock City, Burning Man’s yearly home, but this stunning infographic provides an all-encompassing perspective on the event.”

Hello!
I randomly came upon your print of the history of Burning Man and would love to see how/if I could obtain a print?
Take care!
I’m working diligently on making a poster available in the near future. I’ll keep folks updated here when that occurs.
Hi
As the above comment from ‘Jules’, I would also like to obtain a print option. This would looking amazing in a frame and high quality print. As a burner last year it was printed in the BRC weekly.
Ditto for myself as well.. Obtaining this in poster size would be ideal!
Thanks for creating this and great work!
Awesome infographic! I’m strongly printing this as large as possible and bringing it for my camp this year to decorate! I’ll give you credit, rest assured
Will you be in attendance? I bet you’d love to see your work being displayed by others, no? Maybe you could come sign it for me…?
I’d also love to get this as a poster! Is it available yet? If not, please let me know when that happens! Thank you for the elegant representation of so many years of Burning Man!
AWESOMENESS ABOUNDS!
I too would love a poster. How is the planning going?
Alas, I’m unable to produce these posters for purchase. However, all are welcome to print out the larger version for your own personal use for free.
Can you distribute a PDF of the graphic?
this infographic is amazing, thanks for the incredible work and time you put into making it! i’ve been going since 1999 and this really helps me differentiate all the years and themes. as per above – any chance you can post a high-res pdf or .AI of the infographic so I can print and frame it? thanks!!
Fabulous graphics…but what is the woman-shaped shadowy thing in the center supposed to represent? Oh…it’s the Playa. I just figured it out. Brilliant!
