🎨 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 ❤️

I finished another sketchbook this weekend, so here is a small selection of drawings from my favorite local parks. 🌲

Happy to back home in the mountains and looking forward to some Summer drawing 🌲

I don't want to "wrap my head around this." (part 2). A short and unusual personal (for me) comic about how I feel these days. 💔 #comics #nokings #resist #protest

Amidst the general chaos, I forgot to mention the 2nd volume of Graphic Anatomy (Cuore) just came out!

It was a pleasure working with the team at #GraphicMedicine Italia and exploring this fascinating organ ♥️ Here are some of my favorite pages

Great #HandsOff turnout in Kingston, NY (despite the pouring rain) - let's keep the pressure on!

Repurposing this old illustration to remind everyone that tomorrow is a day of mass mobilization. Wherever you are, get out in the streets and stand up against the fascists who are attacking our democratic institutions!

Finishing off #brainawarenessweek with this screen print I designed for @lok_zine a few years ago - it has been hanging in my studio ever since and it makes me so happy. I hope I can find the time to do more of this work! ❤️💛💙

Winding down #brainAwarenessWeek with my children's books, which introduce basic #neuroscience concepts to children aged 8 to 10.

Available in Italian, Spanish, French, Polish, and Arabic (soon) - any English publishers out there?

Today, for #BrainAwarenessWeek I want to share this brainy map commissioned by The Brain Observatory for last Summer's Brain Explorer Camp.

If you pass by San Diego, make sure to check out this little hidden gem of a museum: www.thebrainobservatory.org 🧠

Next up for #brainawareness week is my book The Senses:

After #neurocomic, I wanted to make a book that celebrates our sensory organs instead of focusing just on the #brain because we cannot understand one without the others

My first graphic novel, Neurocomic, introduces basic concepts in neuroscience through storytelling. Originally published in 2013 with the support of the @wellcometrust.bsky.social - it is now translated into over 10 languages! 🤯

Since it's #brainawareness week, I want to take a break from the ongoing dystopia to celebrate my favorite organ and repost some of my favorite #neuroscience #sciart!

Let's start with this #scifi brain city I just made for an upcoming Italian graphic novel 🧠 🏙
