Since I am failing to upload my own work, I figured I should suggest some more art for the few who look at this blog. First: David Goodsell. I have found a living model for what I want in my career, and he is it. I contacted him not too long ago after I saw his work, just looking for some guidance in my life as an aspiring graduate student. He gave me hope for the balance I never thought I could maintain between my passions. Though he probably couldn't have known, he helped ease me out of a pretty intense existential moment! He is incredibly inspiring, aaaand I hope I meet him soon. He combines the world of microbiology with the world of watercolors and computer graphics so seamlessly. Just take a look at this piece, Microphage and Bacterium 2,000,000X 
If you don't think this is incredible, I don't know you. 
Seriously, he lives my dream.

Next, we have Olivia Lin. She is on the other side of the spectrum of things that I love- textiles! Her art is eery and mystical in all the right ways. I don't know the name of this one, but I love it:
It's like a chiffon biofilm or a sunken, grown over wedding dress. The best part about Lin is that her body of work is so diverse and also ethically conscious. Check her OUT.


School starts soon. Maybe I'll actually get to a scanner... murrrrrrrrrr sorry I'm a bum :/
