Cryptozoology
This was my first feature, on one of my favourite areas of pseudoscience. Gave me a chance try test my illustration skills, too.
Remembering the old days (2011)
In 2011 I was completing my Grad Dip Ed at Adelaide University. I wrote and illustrated some popular science features for the uni magazine (On Dit). I found one of them the other day, and thought I’d post them here.
As a start, here is the cover art I did for one issue.
let’s add nudibranches to this list
So far we have Tardigrades and the Mantis Shrimp on my list of favourites – now we really should add the Nudibranch.
I guess I’m just a sucker for invertebrates.

While there’s a lot to be said for clear diagram

You may have seen MRK’s amazing videos, but did you know that you can buy prints of his digital creations?

Egad! Robot jellyfish the size of a grown man.
Virginia Tech: Autonomous Robotic Jellyfish
Virginia Tech College of Engineering researchers have unveiled a life-like, autonomous robotic jellyfish the size and weight of a grown man, 5 foot 7 inches in length and weighing 170 pounds, as part of a U.S. Navy-funded project.
The prototype robot, nicknamed Cyro, is a larger model of a robotic jellyfish the same team – headed by Shashank Priya of Blacksburg, Va., and professor of mechanical engineering at Virginia Tech – unveiled in 2012. The earlier robot, dubbed RoboJelly, is roughly the size of a man’s hand, and typical of jellyfish found along beaches.
