I was wondering why Graureiher would be interested in watching the old folks in town playing boccie. I was gobsmacked. But the answer came pretty much right away. I’m so gullible, mate.

Hey all! If you missed my live webinar, it’s now available on youtube! Learn a bit about how illustration is used in science, take a tour through a bunch of work I’ve done for IBP, and stay tuned at the end for a brief photoshop demo and some Q&A.
