The cover to the December issue of SciArt in America magazine is like an explosion in my face. Check out the insane post-apocalyptic enviro-nightmare by painter Alexis Rockman:
One of my favourite things about SciArt in America as a magazine, site, and brick & mortar center is that it largely was created out of the ethos, "be what you want to see in the world". Editor-neuroartist-unstoppable force Julia Buntaine and a collective of artists and writers put a tremendous amount of work and research into exploring SciArt from all angles.
SciArt in America is a free magazine available for download, and now you can become a patron on Patreon to help them print a physical copy once a year, hire more staff and keep the magazine going.
