Guys, I'm going to work with scientists in the Entomology department. Before any of you go "but isn't that what you already do?" let me explain.

I'm going to do scientific illustration! I told Dan about the internship I was applying for and he said he would find some projects for me to do and that he would appreciate it because they need that sort of thing for papers etc. I don't know exactly what those projects will be yet but man, I'm excited!

Speaking of scientific illustration, the Images of Nature gallery opened today, and it's promoting both old and modern scientific illustration heavily. Here they are talking about one of my favorite images on display by Mark Russell.

Did you watch the weevil vid? :)

Now I have. Stunning! How does he get the metallic effect?

It looks like a combination of carbon dust and adding the colour in layers, but since there was no narration for the second half of the video I'm not sure.

You have to find and ask him. ;o)

I was thinking of emailing him actually.

I'm really glad they opened that gallery. I always felt science illustration wasn't given the recognition it deserved. Finally, it now is.
