A PERSONAL PROJECT
A selection of editorial illustrations inspired by articles about science and the environment.
Inspired by those taking part in #vectober, I decided to take an interesting article I found online every day in October and challenge myself to produce an editorial illustration based on it. These illustrations are inspired by articles published by organisations such as NPR, The Atlantic and Scientific American, and feature stories about everything from mysterious planets to two-headed snakes. Scroll to the bottom for links to each article illustrated for the project.
These illustrations are part of a personal project and were not commissioned.
