To create this portrait I used a low res image of the original painting and repainted it in Photoshop with new brushstrokes so that it looked painted  and not pixelated. Ethan’s head was added with the same style brushstrokes as the original. I did all the painting with my Wacom tablet.

Let me know if you’re interested in commissioning me do one of you. Send me a message. It will be fun!

Portrait was printed on canvas at 20×30 inches. Here it is on our mantelpiece.

White gumballs are my favorite, well at least for 5 seconds until they lose all their flavor/sugar.

Here’s my fun project of the week. Shrinky Dinks! I bought a package of assorted Shrinky Dinks plastic and have been making little bones and a caffeine molecule for good measure. The almond colored plastic looks really nice for bones. The shrink to about 30% of the original size.  Drawing on the plastic with permanent ink pens results in nice dark and solid lines. Perfect for little pen and ink illustrations. I’m going to have fun with these. I’ll have to think of a real project to use for them. Skull earrings anyone?

Here are the scapulae before they went in the oven.

Shrink action!

All done! Look how tiny they got.

Here are some of my molecular examples from the ePMV workshop given by Graham Johnson, CMI & Fabian de Kok-Mercado, CMI at the 2011 AMI meeting in Baltimore.
