My submission for the NASA 2024 Art Challenge, this is a conceptual rendering depicting the Sustained Lunar Evolution mission directorate for NASA's Artemis missions.

CorelDraw & Adobe Photoshop

Illustration I was commissioned to produce for Women's Aerospace Network magazine - a stylized rendering (graphite) of the spacecraft Cassini exploring Saturn and it's moons.

One of my technical illustrations used to illustrate a short article I wrote about the early NASA missions of the late 1960’s.

Vector drawing (CorelDraw 2024) ... this is a digital study of a McDonnel Douglas F-15. Aside from some additional highlights added in photoshop, this is entirely vector based.

Digital study (Adobe Illustrator) of an F-117 stealth fighter. This aircraft has the appearance of being constructed entirely of flat surfaces, so it was naturally a good start for learning to draw aircraft in Illustrator using limited tools/settings.

Vector study of a Lockheed U-2 reconnaissance plane.

Concept drawing of NASA’s mission to explore the origin of planetary cores by studying the asteroid 16 Psyche. This is a pencil drawing with highlights and background elements added in photoshop.

This is a graphite draft of an infographic providing a brief overview of NASA’s exploratory missions to Europa.

This is a template I illustrated for a sample infographic/proposal illustration. Here I am using an existing NASA diagram derived from “SPACE SHUTTLE, America’s Wings to the Future” (1978) to convey the necessary information. Everything outside of the white box is my artwork, the intent here is to make the graphic more engaging while providing a conceptual look at the Orbiter on a mission.

Infographic I designed by compiling photos from NASA’s New Horizons mission. The color rendering of the spacecraft was a NASA provided 3d model that I screen captured, and painted over to achieve a more realistic look. The line drawings were done in Adobe Illustrator.

I was commissioned by NETFLIX to produce a small series of medical Illustrations to be used as visual aids in their original documentary Tiger King 2. My role in the project was not only lead illustrator, but I was also responsible for conducting research and science communication, highlighting the mistreatment of captive tigers and the harmful medical procedures they are sometimes subjected to.

Recent commissioned illustration. Collaboration with a Biological Anthropologist at The Smithsonian. This drawing was created to be used as a visual aid that was added to an informative poster, to be presented at an Osteology / Anthropology conference. The intention here was to highlight the anatomical differences between different ethnic groups, and which bones are most useful in identifying ancestry in that particular group. Drawn here (left to right) is a male Aboriginal, a male Asian, and a male African skull.

Here we are making anatomical comparisons, taking a close look at various bird species with casques/large head crests, in comparison to my speculative interpretation of Dilophosaurus.

A speculative rendering of an Archaeopteryx leaping from one low branch to another, small wildlife occupying the conifer tree branches in the background.

A full color rendering of the animal in isolation was produced at the client’s request, here I applied transparent color layers to the ink drawing via photoshop.

A speculative look at the dinosaur species Hylaeosaurus, this was part of a series of illustrations for the documentary film Why Dinosaurs, the portion of the film I worked on was studying some of the original/first dinosaur species ever to be cataloged and named. The intent here was to produce modern interpretations of the animals with a retrospective looking illustration technique.

A speculative look at the dinosaur species Megalosaurus, this was part of a series of illustrations for the documentary film Why Dinosaurs, the portion of the film I worked on was studying some of the original/first dinosaur species ever to be cataloged and named. The intent here was to produce modern interpretations of the animals with a retrospective looking illustration technique.

Drawing No. 1 of a 3 drawing series, my interpretation of a juvenile pleurocoelus turning to confront a stalking acrocanthosaurus at the Paluxy River, TX (Early Cretaceous)

Drawing No. 2 in a 3 drawing series. This is my representation of the Glen Rose formation trackway/fossil discoveries & studies by paleontologist Roland T. Bird. Ballpoint pen on watercolor paper.

This is the final drawing in a series of 3 depicting the fossil tracks at the Paluxy River in TX. This one is meant to represent not only the culmination of decades of research, but also the personal impact of seeing these sort of fossils in person, through the perspective of the client himself as a child, and young museum goers in general. Ballpoint pen on watercolor paper.

A continuation of the Paleontology series. This is an anatomical study of the fossilized skeleton of a Triceratops, using a variety of reference material gathered from various museums. (Ballpoint ink on heavy toned paper)

Here are some osteology studies I did referencing the fossil specimens I observed at the La Brea Tar Pits Museum in Los Angeles, CA.

Another piece in this Scientific illustration species, shifting the focus here to some invertebrate species. Ordinarily I rely on my own photography gathered at museums for reference, but I was unable to do so while researching material for this drawing. Credit goes to the photographers who unfortunately I was unable to find info on. If anyone recognizes the images an email with the names of the photographers would be greatly appreciated.

A bit of a shift in subject matter, but still a continuation of this scientific illustration portfolio. Detailed study of a male chimpanzee skull & a simplified rendering of its full skeleton. Same technique as previous posts (ballpoint ink on toned paper).

Another illustration in this paleontology/biology series I have been putting together.

This is the pencil drawing I used as the framework for the Vulgaris digital painting.

The anatomy portion of this drawing is highly simplistic and somewhat speculative, seeing as I’m not an expert in Cephalopods, however the main goal is to show where everything lays. I thought it was interesting enough to document.

Anatomical study referencing the sculpture work of John Holmes from the Eyewitness series books (ballpoint pen & photoshop)

This is a graphite study I was commissioned to draw by the art supply company Sakura, for them to utilize on their website and social media accounts, highlighting the quality and versatility of their pencils.

Another graphite study I was commissioned to draw by the art supply company Sakura, for them to utilize on their website and social media accounts, highlighting the quality and versatility of their pencils. Note the enormous claw featured in the sketch of the foot, and the incredible resemblance here to that of extinct non avian theropod dinosaurs.

Timeline style Illustration of some of the more popular fossil specimens on display at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County. Here, as with almost all of these paleontology illustrations, I am relying exclusively on my own photography taken at the museum as reference. (Ink on toned paper)
