Medical illustrators need a
strong scientific focus but also a keen imagination,
because we’re often asked to illustrate what can’t
be seen. For example, a surgical photograph may show
the surgical field but not the subtle points that the
surgeon wants to convey. A skilled medical illustrator
can capture these nuances by using different angles,
or by hiding or highlighting certain anatomy or instruments.
Medical illustrators are illustrators
with specific training in science and medicine. They
must have superior artistic abilities as well as a thorough
knowledge of science and the human body. A medical illustrator’s
goal — my goal — is to clearly and accurately
communicate complex scientific and medical concepts
in an aesthetically pleasing way. If you’d like

The first thing I do when I’m
contacted about a project is arrange a time to talk
through the details with my client. Usually this is
a phone conversation, but sometimes we’ll meet
face-to-face. Use the contact
form to get in touch with me to discuss initiating
a job.
