Done right, art and science go great together. This is generally in the form of art used to illustrate scientific principles or discoveries, to make them appealing and comprehensible. Done wrong, you get artists using bits and pieces of science to tell or display… well, crap. “They should have sent a poet” only applies to *good* poets, not whatever the frak these are.
Fortunately, I’m pleased to point out a *good* marriage of art & science. Gentlemen, behold:
“An original science illustration blog”
Indeed. Most of the illustrations are bio-medical, but some of the recent ones are astronomical.
More after the break…
There are links on the blog to where you can buy copies of the art. Feel free to buy some, a lot of it looks like it’d look great on a wall.
Feel free to post links to other quality scientific illustrators in the comments.
