The art of science and the science of art.
Several years ago I painted a half-human, half-trilobite hybrid in the style of a Minotaur. I’ve always been fascinated with the blended animals and humans from mythology (that’s where my Flying Trilobite handle comes from) and trying out ideas with organisms that scientific discovery has revealed to us, everything from dinosaurs to microbes...
I recently had the pleasure of working with the team at Buzz Hoot Roar, a new graphics-driven blog that shares and/or explains a scientific concept in 300 words or less.
How many times do you have to do something before it is considered tradition? Last year, Glendon had the excellent idea to post a different #sciart image each day in the month of September...
This concludes my very first go at SciArt Blitz! What a crazy month it has been here at Symbiartic. So many great science artists, illustrators, comics, and artisans.
We’re wrapping up the daily sciart posts today. We hope you’ve enjoyed them! Stay tuned tomorrow for a round-up of the month’s artists and images.
Perhaps you’ve heard about Entelognathus primordialis this week. Wait, the scientific name doesn’t ring a bell on its own? What if I refer to it as the 419-million-year old placoderm fish that surprised everyone with its beautifully preserved, surprisingly modern-looking jaw?...
Hannah Bonner is an illustrator who is creating an empire of informative, entertaining kids’ books about paleontology. They remind me of The Magic School Bus series by Joanna Cole: real science conveyed with a wacky sense of humor...
I appreciate anyone who can turn science imagery into wearable pieces, especially when they’re subtle and beautiful. Anatomology is a science-themed Etsy shop sporting caffeine molecule earrings, atomic necklaces, and DNA scarves, among many other pieces...
Here on Symbiartic we’ve featured hundreds of fine artists, illustrators, photographers, sculptors, comic illustrators and cartoonists, jewellery-makers, dataviz designers since we began...
I fell in love with biology when I first sneaked a peak at a drop of pond water under a microscope. The colors and shapes ensnared my imagination, and I’m not the only one!
