Cell Biology Poster: The artist created this image with a computer program he scripted (as well as a lot of hand-painting) to summarize the content of a textbook he has worked to illustrate since 1998. The poster follows the molecular details of a signal that induces a cell to replicate.
Pedagogic figures from the Cell Biology textbook
Molecular basis of Progeria, and Muscle anatomy
Textbook Cell Biology authored by Tom Pollard, Bill Earnshaw, and Jennifer Lippincott-Schwart, Elsevier 2007
Chemical and Physical background: Used as a section overview, this figure summarizes the content of four chapters from a cell biology textbook illustrated by Graham that introduce and review basic-scientific principals to the reader.

Membrane Structure and Function: Used as a section overview, this figure summarizes the content of five chapters that describe the anatomy and physiology of lipid bilayers and their resident proteins. Here, the “water fearing” chains of a lipid bilayer separate the cytoplasm of a cell (beige background- bottom) from the outside world (light blue background- top.)

DNA Repair Mechanisms: Created for general audiences to explain a few of the mechanisms used by the cell to repair DNA damaged by UV light (shown as a photon rupturing a DNA strand in the top center of the image). Helical DNA is displayed with atomistic detail in the background and simplified to a diagrammatic ladder-like structure in the inset panels to simplify the story.
