In the second last week for my carbon dust course offered by the Lyme Art Association Natural Science Illustration Program, students had their choice of surface and subject for their final project. I joined them and illustrated a walrus skull which is still in progress #SciArt, #CarbonDust #walrus

Today is World Rhino Day!
Sumatran rhinos are the smallest of all rhinos. They are also one of the rarest and most endangered mammals in the world with fewer than 100 individuals left in the wild.

Happy 573rd Birthday Leonardo!
Leonardo is one of my heroes for many reasons but especially for his medical and scientific illustrations. If published during his lifetime or shortly thereafter, instead of in the late 1800s, his anatomical works would have advanced medicine by a couple of centuries.
