There is something undoubtedly fascinating about repeating patterns. Add some shadows and the whole thing becomes mind-blowing!
Repeating patterns
Inter-cortical Module: concept drawing & Powerpoint slide
The Powerpoint slide can be downloaded here. It is fully customizable with colors, animations and whatnot. The slide contains the basic elements: two neurons (two colors), two cortical slices (two colors). Think of it like a basic toolbox to build the slide according to your needs. This is just an experiment, more slides (more complex … Continue reading
Discovering some old drawings!
Going through some old hard drives I found some interesting stuff! I used to spend hours at night drawing with Inkscape and Sketch. These may be around the time I was (like most of the people I know) into Breaking bad. Actually one of them (the whale in B/W) was drawn while I was in … Continue reading

The color matrix is really fascinating: it is a high density data visualization that can be fruitfully used for many different type of data. Different … Continue reading

While this is indeed a real DISASTER, I have been forced … Continue reading

Light backgrounds help the Reader/Audience to focus on the data presented. Dark backgrounds require more heavy processing. Nonetheless, a dark background is really … Continue reading

The Mighty Mini Scope for Behavioral Studies in Microorganisms

So you can imagine my excitement when I had the opportunity to develop a behavioral setup for microorganisms. There’s plenty of interesting and fascinating questions to ask in the microcosmos but … Continue reading
