Welcome to biomedical-illustration.com.

A few years ago I was a freelance scientific illustrator, and before that I was a staff illustrator, illustrating and animating medical subject matter. This web site was my portfolio site.

I started receiving emails from art students, scientists and other people asking how to become scientific illustrators themselves, so I started adding information to the site that I wished I had knows when I got started, links to helpful resources and a really good book or two on the subject. And when I responded to email queries about the business I would also put the information up on this site for others wondering about the same questions.

At some point the informational part of this site took over and I decided to moved my portfolio elsewhere. (If you are here looking for my portfolio, it is here. I am now working only in fine art.)

If you have come here for information about scientific or medical illustration, how to promote yourself, where to go to school, or how to select an artist for your project, etc., I hope this site helps you in your endeavors.
