I created this little earthquake explainer for Scientific American (@SciAm )
I loved making cross sections in this art style

Fission and Fusion are both nuclear reactions that release energy but they aren't the same. One happens in the sun and one usually happens on Earth in nuclear power plants.

It's difficult to picture how big some animals in the ocean are. Especially fish! This is a graphic showing the size of the largest sunfish ever found.

At the start of the pandemic, Newsela published articles relating to social distancing and health. I created this graphic to show that cloth masks, while not as effective as N95s, still offered protection against contaminated aerosols.

I worked on this figure with Dr. Bowles at the University of Berkeley, California, who is always fantastic to work with. I had a lot of fun illustration directly on top of these graphs.

I created these carbon macromolecules for Scientific American several years ago (and am just getting around to posting now 🤣 )

The fullerenes (the buckyballs, C70 and C60) were extremely fun to map out and render.

I created this figure for Dr. Jilling at the University of South Carolina to show how mineral associated organic matter (MAOM) can sequester carbon and nutrients in soil. Had a great time working on this figure with Dr. Jilling and learned so many cool things!

Was so thrilled to receive a copy of Bay Nature Spring 2026 issue and see my illustration in it. I created a close up of the Dodder plant and pickleweed interaction for the article "Sensing is Becoming" by Jules Litman-Cleper

Some of my favorite graphics from @Newsela were simple ones showing a simple phenomenon.

I'm always excited to work on thumbnails for New Nature's videos since they always involve cutting some earth in half.

Best way to cool your house down? Wind catchers in many ancient Persian houses used passive ventilation to keep buildings cool in hot climates.

Gestern habe ich eine sehr spannende Folge des Podcasts Dichtung & Wahrheit von Suhrkamp Verlag GmbH gehört über das Buch "Die Exponentialgesellschaft" von Emanuel Deutschmann.

Today you're being visited by the ghost of snowflakes past...

Let's step back in time to 1855, when James and Celia Glaisher captured the delicate beauty of over 150 snowflakes—proof that good things come in small packages.

Recently, rather than directing photoshoots with scientists, I'm illustrating their stories. And loving it 😊

Always awesome working with Scientific American!

(In 2016 I art-directed an exclusive photoshoot with Tracy Slatyer, one of the authors of the 2024 article above.)

Finally finishing this! — Breaking down the 3 sections:

Right: The evolving universe in three stages: 1. primordial soup / CMB, 2. current distribution of galaxies, 3. further expansion. Blobs clustering around the spheres suggest dark matter / primordial black holes.

Apparently today is international cat day!

I'd like to paint or sculpt more cats. But probably not ~100 at once, as in the 2nd artwork.
