When I was in college studying Scientific Illustration, we visited and had the "basement tour" of the
Smithsonian Natural History Museum, and I remember being completely fascinated with the rows upon rows of specimens. Jars of large reptiles in liquids, skeletons of every animal imaginable... I could spend hours in those rooms. These are the moments that inspired me to become an artist, and to make sure that I never left the art of science behind.
Chronicle books has put out the book
Ichtyho, a collection of black and white X-rays of fish from the Smithsonian, which holds the world's largest collection of ichthyological specimens. The imagery is absolutely beautiful.
