Teaching graphic design and basic design for freshmen and sophomores. I am interested in not only art and design but also natural science and history.
Scientific Illustration must be scientifically accurate.The most important thing in the creation of my art is to observe many specimens. Unknown things are much much more importnat than things we already know. Even living with my wife and my dogs, brings new discoveries every day.
