Field Reportage
Want compelling story telling? Done directly in the field? I can draw images in real time in the field with researchers.
In the rain forest, in the dark, in the canopy, amongst the crashing waves of the intertidal zone. I can follow and create sketches and drawings showing the science, the scenery, and the research being conducted even in challenging situations.
The above image was done 100% in the field in Baja California Mexico while researchers installed pins for a survey while waves crashed around us.
The above image was done 100% in the field in the Ecuadorean Amazon. Could images like this help tell the story of your project even better than photos?
Illustrations and Diagrams
I can also create more traditional finished images to communicate your research findings.
The above illustration was created to depict recent research showing the use of electromagnetic fields for detection and transportation by hummingbird mites in Costa Rica. See more about the research in this New York Times article. Research conducted by Carlos Garcia Robledo at University of Connecticut. More here.
My illustration work is mostly ink and watercolor. My strengths are depicting processes, biodiversity schematics, ecosystem diagrams, sketchnotes and science comics.
Do you want to communicate concepts in a way that is compelling and easy to understand? Sketchnoting like the image above can help relay you and your message.
