Hey…followed you here from Facebook as I noticed you have been active recently. I had no idea you had a background in scientific illustration. Once upon a time, my college major was dual–biology and art–with the exact intent of textbook illustration. How neat! And how beautiful your work is, Ingrid (not that I am one bit surprised).
