How do you make a scientific image more understandable? To illustrate Églantine Heude's research from @mnhn.fr , I used 3D reconstruction images to better visualise the mesodermal origins of the muscles connecting the neck to the head. It's easier to visualise, don't you think?

Illustrations I made in collaboration with Eglantine Heude from @mnhn.fr for her paper in @nature.com Communications. I start with illustrations of zebrafish embryos at the 1dpf and 5dpf stages with a stylised line. What do you think? It's a bit of a change from the classic illustrations, isn't it?

Scientific illustrations - The development of eye muscles I'm continuing to share with you the illustrations I made in collaboration with Glenda Comai, @tajbakhshlab.bsky.social from the @institutpasteur.bsky.social . Here are the embryonic origins of the different muscle tissues in three species

I'm delighted to see my illustrations in their place of use! Thank you to the @sfbd.bsky.social organization team for working with me for the second time in a row. 🧬Science is beautiful 🤩

Scientific illustrations - The development of eye muscles I recently collaborated with Glenda Comai at the @pasteur.fr to illustrate a chapter of ‘The Encyclopedia of The Eye’. Here's how the muscles of the human eye fit together, in a delicate, graphic style. #sciart #developmentalbiology

Botanical illustration - Tragopogon porrifolius L. Today Tragopogon porrifolius L., the salsify that graces the label of Victor & Marceau's ‘tard dans la nuit’ {late into the night} cuvée.

Botanical illustration - Papaver rhoeas L. Today, Papaver rhoeas, the poppy that adorns the label of Victor & Marceau's "Hys" cuvée.

Botanical illustration - Echium vulgare L. I'm continuing to share with you the watercolours that adorn the labels of Victor & Marceau's wine bottles. Today Echium vulgare L., the Vipers Bugloss.

Botanical illustration - Ornithogalum umbellatum L. In the series of botanical illustrations for wine bottle labels, today it's Ornithogalum umbellatum L., the Eleven o'clock Lady.

Botanical illustration - Helianthus annuus L. Today I'm presenting a botanical illustration of the sunflower, Helianthus annuus L.. This is a watercolour for the labels of the wine bottles of the winemakers Victor and Marceau.

Botanical illustration - Borago officinalis L. I'm continuing to share with you the botanical illustrations I created to decorate the labels of the wine bottles produced by Victor et Marceau. Here is a watercolour of the Borago officinalis L. flower.

Botanical illustration - Himantoglossum hircinum L. I'm delighted to share with you this watercolour of Himantoglossum hircinum, a wild orchid that's as discreet as it is stunning. This illustration was created to decorate the labels of bottles of wine.

🎉✨ Creative dive into the 40th anniversary of the European Master's in Genetics at @upcite.bsky.social, with my live sketching drawings! A pleasure to capture the energy and emotion of this memorable event. 🧬🎨 Thanks to everyone for nice event! #LiveSketching #MEG

Excited to share my poster for Shaping Life 3! 🎨🧬 Blending developmental biology, watercolor art, and the beauty of Cassis, with blue and yellow tones to evoke the south of France 🌊☀️ #ShapingLife3 #ScienceArt #DevelopmentalBiology #Sciart #Watercolor

First publication on Bluesky with my first artwork! 8 years ago, I had created the cover for Developmental Cell, illustrating my PhD research in developmental biology. This project remains a key moment in my career, even though the cover wasn’t selected (my paper was published elsewhere). #sciart
