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
The story I did this for is “The Theory That Men Evolved to Hunt and Women Evolved to Gather Is Wrong” by Cara Ocobock and Sarah Lacy. You can also read the article online here www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-theory-that-men-evolved-to-hunt-and-women-evolved-to-gather-is-wrong1
Thank you so much for sharing - I loved reading this ✨
It is an interesting read!
It was you! I wanted to find the artist just to congratulate you on an AMAZING piece.
Aw well thank you! That makes me so happy to hear☺️
This is really beautiful. It’s got so much atmosphere!
Thank you! I did really want it to feel kinda imposing while in an unreal space!
It’s got a sort of sinister dream quality. Love it! I like the colour palette as well. Wish I could be so restrained!
The palette is all thanks to my AD, he picked it out of the options I showed him!
The silhouette is so successful! Love the colors too, this is great :-D
Thank you so much, I’m glad you think so!
Unfortunately, I can only hit the heart button once.
I got my copy a week or so ago & was def impressed by the cover. Cool to hear from the person who did it! Kudos. :)
I’m so happy to hear that, thank you!
What a perfect example of how to use shape and color, and how to use detail/rendering to set a mood.
You are right to be proud of this work!
Thank you, I am glad you think so!
loving you can't tell anything about the form, really really well done if that's intentional
Totally intentional! And thank you!
Wow this cover is so cool
Eeeeeeee!

Incredible piece. Awesome in the original sense of the word.
Thanks a ton, I really appreciate it!
beautiful art and wow this article was fascinating!!
Thank you, and I agree. I was lucky enough to get to read it early to work on this and really enjoyed it
Extremely badass illustration for a cool and important article!
Oh cool, I'll keep an eye out for this issue!
Love that cover!! It's so ominous!
Thank you! I really did want it to feel like something big was about to happen
I think you really transported the feeling of uncovering some big mystery with this!
This is so lovely, the gradient pulling you towards the goat-beasts snarl is so???? i like cant stop staring at it
