I created this series of illustrations showing variant branching patterns for recurrent motor branch of median nerve (RMN). Understanding these subtle differences is critical in preventing iatrogenic injury. Thanks to Dr. L. Van Der Putten and Dr. R. Feitz to depict their research. #SciArt #MedArt

If you’re looking to add a new traditional easy-to-learn and very forgiving technique to your skillset,  I’ll be offering my one-day carbon dust workshop again hosted by Lyme Art Association, which starts in the next few weeks.  #SciArt #carbonDust   lymeartassociation.org/online-class...

I’m excited about teaching an new online skull drawing course next week for Lyme Art Association Natural Science Illustration Program. Students will use traditional media on toned paper to create scientifically accurate skull illustrations. #SciArt, #VertebrateAnatomy, #AnimalAnatomy, #skull

Check out the recent Art in Bio blog from Integrative & Comparative Biology @sicbjournals.bsky.social featuring artwork along with artist’s thoughts on how their art influences biology and vice versa. integrativeandcomparativebiology.wordpress.com/fine-art-ame... #SciArt #SciComm #VizSciComm

My 1-day carbon dust workshop, offered through the Lyme Art Association, starts next week and there are a few spots available. lymeartassociation.org/online-class... #SciArt, #carbondust

It’s Penguin Awareness Day! Here’s a diving Emperor Penguin showing off some of its amazing anatomical adaptations that allow it to survive and thrive extreme frigid environments. These birds are super cool aquatic avian dinosaurs! #sciart,  #penguin, #PenguinAwarenessDay #anatomy #AnimalAnatomy

I’m excited about teaching a new online skull drawing course in March for Lyme Art Association Natural Science Illustration Program. Students will use traditional media on toned paper to create scientifically accurate skull illustrations. #SciArt, #VertebrateAnatomy, #AnimalAnatomy, #anatomy, #skull

My in-depth 6 week carbon dust course starts this week and there are spots available. If you prefer an intro to this technique, I’m offering a one day workshop in February. These online courses are offered through the Lyme Art Association's Natural Science Illustration Program #SciArt, #CarbonDust

Happy National Bird Day! Today we appreciate our feathered friends and raise awareness about their protection. A bird in flight is poetry in motion. #NationalBirdDay #SciArt #SciComm #VizSciComm #bird

Looking to add a new traditional art technique to your skillset in the new year? Check out my carbon dust course and workshop which combines drawing and ‘painting’ using a dry brush technique to achieve realistic 3D illustrations lymeartassociation.org/online-class... #SciArt, #CarbonDust

It’s that time of year again when I’d like to share my annual scientific holiday card. I’ve been wanting to create a card depicting Ice Megafauna and connect it with the holiday season. Here’s what I came up with … Happy holidays and all the best for the new year! #SciArt #PaleoArt #Anatomy #mammoth

I’m pleased to announce that I’ll be offering my carbon dust course again in the new year. You’ll have the option of taking a 1 day workshop or a 6 week course. If you're interested, check out the link below. lymeartassociation.org/online-class... #SciArt, #CarbonDust, #NaturalScienceIllustration

Today is National/World Walrus Day! These semi-aquatic mammals, which are a type of seal, share similar bones with humans. Their specialized forelimbs have evolved for swimming. #SciArt #SciComm #VizSciComm, #walrus, #NationalWalrusDay #anatomy #ComparativeAnatomy

I just completed my carbon dust course offered by the Lyme Art Association. Walrus mandible which is still in progress. If you’re interested in learning this technique, I’ll be offering a 6 week course and a one day workshop starting in the new January. Stay tuned for more details. #SciArt

In the second last week for my carbon dust course offered by the Lyme Art Association Natural Science Illustration Program, students had their choice of surface and subject for their final project. I joined them and illustrated a walrus skull which is still in progress #SciArt, #CarbonDust #walrus

I had my students recreate an old master carbon dust illustration. I copied this surgical illustration originally created by Russell Drake in 1931 as a demo for my carbon dust course offered by the @lymeartassocation Natural Science Illustration Program. #SciArt, #MedArt  #CarbonDust

Happy Halloween! To get into the Halloween spirit, I created this warty pumpkin illustration as a demo for my carbon dust course offered by the Lyme Art Association Natural Science Illustration Program. #SciArt, #NaturalScienceIllustration #CarbonDust

It’s Reptile Awareness Day! An annual day dedicated to raising public awareness about the importance of reptiles, which includes snakes, lizards, crocodiles, and turtles, to promote their importance and conservation. #sciart, #reptile, #ReptileAwarenessDay #anatomy

Happy [belated] National Fossil Day! Before CT scanning and photogrammetry, fossil were hand drawn like this series of traditional carbon dust illustrations. I miss those days. Photos of my illustrations alongside the actual fossils #NationalFossilDay, #SciArt, #PaleoArt, #paleontology, #CarbonDust

It’s #WorldAnatomyDay today. Here’s an illustration depicting the anatomy of antlers. Fall is deer breeding season which is a time when antlers harden for buck’s to use in fighting and establishing dominance. #WorldAnatomyDay, #anatomy, #SciArt, #antler #deer

One week until my carbon dust course starts. There are still some spots available. This technique combines drawing and ‘painting’ using a dry brush to apply layers of ground dust to achieve realistic 3D illustrations. #SciArt, #NaturalScienceIllustration #CarbonDust

Cassowaries Have Their Day! World Cassowary Day draws attention and awareness about these amazing large flightless birds from Indonesia, Papua New Guinea and NE Australia. Here’s the skull of a Southern Cassowary (Casuarius casuarius). #SciArt #SciComm #cassowary, #WorldCassowaryDay, #skull
