🎨 REMIX of Claude Nicholas Le Cat (1700-1768) from Traité Des Sens, 1744.
Copying is how I taught myself to draw as a child, and even now (many years later) I still find it such a valuable exercise.

This just dropped in my inbox, which means the new issue of SftP magazine is officially out! 🤩
I was particularly excited about this issue on Rethinking #SciComm, and it was my honor to serve as art director, and 'commission myself' (i.e. volunteer) for the cover #SciArt ❤️
