A while back I mentioned a project that was keeping me away from the blog . . . well, it's done now! I was hired by the director of Hopkins Marine Station, where I did my PhD, to write their annual newsletter. It took my relationship with Illustrator to a whole new level, and, while I've never yet been able to do a project with an Adobe product without some moments of GRRR and also ARGHH, it was overall a great experience.
The little squid illustration I posted earlier came from a feature I designed for the newsletter called "Hopkins Abroad," showing all the places that professors, students, and other researchers have traveled to study marine biology around the world:
Do you see how he's even in the correct place for squid biology? Hehe. Of course, it should be noted that he is not to scale. Not at all.
For the last few days, I've actually been taken away from the blog by a different writing project, one that is much more obviously about squid. I am excited to share it with you when it's done! Soon!
In the meantime, enjoy the map and rest assured that more teuthy news is on the way . . .
