Hey BlueSky, nice to meet you! I'm an environmental microbiologist & science illustrator 🎨 here's some stuff I like to draw! I've done kid's books, graphical abstracts, lots of birds, and even a scientific journal cover on its way 💫
(Actually if you want anything drawn, I have some availability.. 🤔)
