It’s a great pleasure to have my cover art included in a overview of the “150 years of Scientific Illustration” inside Nature—the editorial is found within the “Books & Art” section of this week’s special 150th anniversary issue. Read the essay here.
An excerpt from the essay by Geoffrey Belknap:
“Imaging today is exquisitely precise and often beautiful, able to capture worlds and structures far beyond the scope of human vision. The ‘Drawn Together’ cover image for the 8 August 2019 issue of Nature is a case in point. Crafted by illustrator Inna-Marie Strazhnik, it provides a visualization of work by bioengineer Tyler Ross and colleagues… Strazhnik translated the models, images and graphs in the paper into a dynamic, almost three-dimensional image.”
Not only is it an honor to be included in this history, but this milestone issue is extraordinarily beautiful to look at, with outstanding information graphics and illustration to bring 150 years into perspective. The data visualization on the cover is also an interactive module on the website where you can explore each scientific discipline that Nature has published and the web of knowledge that connects its authors.
