I did the cover for the November issue of Scientific American!
I also did the inside spread for the cover story, but I’ll post that another day. A huge thanks to longtime favorite art director Michael Mrak for bringing me into this project. A lot of love went into everything, and I hope that shows
There is something so extremely satisfying about learning the names to all the bits and pieces of comics you love
This is amazing
