I'm launching a newsletter through Substack. I'd love if you could subscribe and stay in touch with updates from my studio, new work, and tips and resources on visual science communication. https://t.co/xywJ7rC540

This has been the most challenging year in the best way possible ☀️

For the artistic part, I exported these 3D animations and, using https://t.co/fxyQXYgKMN, created toon shaders that mimicked Quanta's 2D vector style. ✅ I could then set parameters that mimic the look and appeal of reading these animations as flat graphics on our website!

I needed to show an arrow moving across various surfaces: the position, direction, and perspective of this arrow changes - a lot. 1st I modeled these things in C4D + animated the motion of the arrow across the surface. This was the 'science': accurate motion + geometry ✅

🤔 I had to think outside of the box to meet two goals: ⚛️ 1) How to capture the complexity and 3D needs of this story? (the "science" part) 🎨 2) How to make this look like it belongs to Quanta (and function like it)? (the "artistic" part)

Quanta's style is 2D vectors, which is industry standard: web graphics should be scalable + lightweight, but cool 3D work tends to produce rasters (complex, but heavier, + pixellated). Add lighting, shadows, angle changes, etc, and it's hard to both produce + host vector graphics

One of the challenges in this story was figuring out how to produce graphics that captured the dimensions of these structures. Naturally, it makes sense to use animation whenever describing motion, but how to capture this in 3D - while retaining Quanta's style - was a challenge.

Check out this new story at Quanta about quantum geometry - new research about the hidden shapes that underlie the quantum behaviors of a crystal. I had so much fun producing graphics for this cool story with @shalmawegs and @nattyover. https://t.co/WcvWOp7UVA

I'm so grateful to both contribute to this project and to join the Quanta team: it's an amazing ecosystem of passionate science writers and enthusiasts, like finding an oasis where art, science, and information can dovetail beautifully in crafting science stories. More to come!

Extended congrats and thanks to Michael Moyer, Matt Carlstrom, Samir Patel, Emily Buder, Simone Barr, Samuel Velasco, and everyone else who helped work on this, including our partners at H-Labs!

I had so much fun working alongside @walkingthedot + @nattyover on crafting visuals to help explain some pretty abstract ideas. This was my first real taste for working at Quanta and to sink into collaborating with some fantastic writers and creatives!

Last year, before formally joining the Quanta team, I was freelancing for them on a unique and exciting package about the reality of space-time. One of these stories explores a series of thought experiments that challenge our notions of everyday physics:

Howdy! I contributed graphics to a Quanta story on protein folding last year. It’s nominated for a Webby! It would be so cool if you could spare some time to vote ! Thanks! #science #webby #proteinfolding #proteins #sciart #protein #ai https://t.co/JhGYjQX4hi

I don’t enjoy being here anymore, so find me elsewhere: https://t.co/S529OIiu3D

Bonus: At Quanta, we had the pleasure of speaking with Will about the evolution of multicellular life on our podcast, the Joy of Why. Check that out, too! https://t.co/LdMtHEoR6I

Heads, Horns, and Wings - End Time Prophecy Today our subject is: heads, horns and wings. Bible prophecy is fascinating, it's a subject that merits a lot of investigation, but a lot of people are confused by the use of imagery, Bible prophecy uses a lot of imagery, for example

Special thanks to James Stroud @jamesTstroud and Will Ratcliff for the opportunity. Lots of fun learning (and drawing!) these critters. Also, evolution is rad.

Had the great pleasure of creating graphics for a new synthesis on long-term studies in evolution. Published in Nature yesterday, check it out here! https://t.co/w1reLOC7aZ
