In Pursuit of Knowledge
I was honoured to be commissioned as the illustrator for a book written by Professor Corey Bradshaw - Matthew Flinders Fellow in Global Ecology at Flinders University, and creator of Conservation Bytes: conservationbytes.com/
The book is titled "The Effective Scientist - A Handy Guide to a Successful Academic Career" and is being published by Cambridge University Press. The book is currently in print and due out early 2018, make sure to keep up-to-date here.
This was a somewhat abstract concept of a person in contemplation (or deeper thought). The components on the face and surrounds are made from various STEM-related objects, representing the majority of natural science disciplines. Colours chosen were inspired by old science fiction magazines and books (Isaac Asimov in particular). We wanted this book to be a little bit 'different' and eye-catching than the usual science text books you come across, and I am proud of the final piece.
