Mammal 1.0

I found some older drawings and I decided to make them a little more ... technicolor.

This is the skull of an extinct mammal. I can't remember which one. The background is one of my painted tables. Color improves everything?

Plant Prisms

When the sun is low in the sky, plants seem to fill with light. It's the best time of day to visit the Chicago Botanic Gardens. Except for now -- it's covered in snow!  I bet it's still pretty, but I think I'll stay here with my photographs, my warm fuzzy cat, and my space heater.

An ant walks over a radioactive rock ...

Here's a drawing I did of an ant!  This is an oil-based marker, glitter glue, ink, Wacom, and photoshop mashup. Mixed media in the digital age :)

This drawing is for a pseudoscience comic I'm currently working on with one of my housemates. I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out. Now it's time to get started on the 'retrovirus' illustration so ... stay tuned?

Should we go outside?

Plants

Lilies from the Chicago Botanic Gardens. We went there after visiting the Baha'i temple. I took lots of pictures. Ho ho ho.

Fractals

One evening I thought to myself, "What should I draw?" And then I looked at the cover of one of Mr. Green's math textbooks and I thought, "Fractals. Why not?"

Baha'i Temple

Located in Evanston, IL and the first in North America (I learned this while playing Trivial Pursuit). It's surprisingly hard to take a good photo of it. This was my best attempt:
