This interactive illustration is designed to teach the lobes of the human brain in sagittal section. Students can test themselves by hovering over the brain to reveal the labels one at a time.
The interactivity was created using only the CSS hover feature. For a more detailed description of creating an illustration like this, read this tutorial written by illustrator Memori Otsuka.
This illustration communicates the 3D structure of ATP Synthase, a membrane protein that produces adenosine triphosphate (ATP). It was created using X-ray crystallography and NMR spectroscopy data made available through the Protein Databank. The illustration colour-codes the ATP synthase protein by function and chain.
The data was imported into Chimera and then exported into Adobe Photoshop to finalize the illustration. This illustration was an experiment in emulating the illustration style of David Goodsell’s “Molecule of the Month” illustrations on the Protein Databank’s website. I used a tutorial written by Dr. Bonnie Scott of Snare Media that detailed a method of achieving this illustration style.
This illustration communicates the 3D shape of the pelvic bones and their relationship to the saccrum.

This illustration is intended to communicate the neural and endocrine pathways of the milk ejection reflex in humans. The illustration differentiates between the anatomy of the adenohypophysis and neurohypophysis and how they stimulate the productions of the hormones necessary for milk production and ejection.
This illustration is a mock up for a full page textbook layout in a chapter on Neuroanatomy or Endocrinology.
This illustration shows the anatomy of the extensors muscles of the hand and how they originate at the common tendon of the lateral epicondyle of the humerus. This illustration accompanied a larger illustration describing Lateral Epicondylitis, a repetitive strain injury in which this common extensor tendon become damaged.
