One of my proudest moments. After initially have b One of my proudest moments. After initially have been asked to help with the summary illustration about two years ago, it slowly evolved into me doing all of the figures, asking so many questions trying to understand, that they ultimately changed the entire story and included me as a co-author. This project has easily been the most difficult thing Ive tried to make sense off and I had to start to make figures for myself just to be able to communicate my questions, several of which later ended up in the paper. This has been so much fun and have highlighted for myself also the importance of visuals to help understand complicated things. #imaresearcher #actin #profilin #proteinchemistry #molecularbiology #freelanceillustrator #medicalillustration #cellbiology #scientificillustration

Interesting review about the current state of mRNA Interesting review about the current state of mRNA therapeutics in Nature biothechnology by Kenneth Chien one of the co-founders of Moderna. I have done the figures for it. Nothing fancy, actually much more representative of what I mostly do. #biotechnology #review #mrna #cellbiology #scienceillustration #naturebiotechnology #medicine #molecularbiology
Another rejected cover proposal, so this is just t Another rejected cover proposal, so this is just the mock-up. Article revolves around genetics and treatment of schizophrenia and depression in youth. One of those times I also wish I had more time to work on it but the constraints of life made it impossible. Several things I would like to adjust/fix but I just didnt have time to. For me it was fun stepping out of my comfort zone a bit and doing something more like regular drawing. Failed attempts are such a big part of worklife that I try to enjoy them anyway. 🤷‍♂️ #mockup #coverart #digitalpainting #wacom #depression #schizophrenia #drawingsketch #failedattempt #freelancelife

Since I used to work with developmental neurobiolo Since I used to work with developmental neurobiology this was a fun overview of the human development to do. Even with years in the field its tricky to mentally keep in the head how the cell layers at implantation actually ends up a tiny human in the end. Not often but Im actually happy myself with how this turned out. It works pretty well as a simplified flowchart of all the major stages. #humandevelopment #fetus #embryo #medicalillustration #uterus #baby #eggs #developmentalbiology
Rejected test render for a cover proposal. So many Rejected test render for a cover proposal. So many illustrations that just gets thrown away. The final version ended up looking absolutely nothing like this. Maybe could work as tattoo inspiration for someone? 🤷‍♂️ . . #tattooideas #3drender #pancreas #uterus #medart #coverart #freelancelife #rejection #freelanceartist

Really fun when I got to help a friend from high s Really fun when I got to help a friend from high school with an illustration for the cover of his thesis. His work also got coverage in a Swedish science magazine. Congratulation @tengen75 🥳🥳 . . . #coverartwork #proteinstructure #molecularbiology #chemistry #thesis #cholestasis #neonatal #physiology

Wanted to do it earlier but everything has been shut down the last years. Looking forward to do it again, such good practise. #lifedrawing #kroki #konstnärshuset #drawing #model #practisemakesprogress #carandache
New cover on latest issue of Cell Metabolism!! 🥳🥳 ”Tissue metabolism following exercise is dependent upon the time of day at which it is conducted and the alignment of the circadian clock. Both the production and distribution of canonical and novel timed exercise-specific metabolites were revealed utilizing a systems biology approach. The cover illustrates a runner on the track representative of the metabolite exerkines identified in the study about to “run” to different metabolic tissues in response to exercise. The sky above is visualized in both night and day, displaying the timed nature of the exercise.” . . #coverart #cellmetabolism #excercise #circadianrhythm #cintiq #wacom #digitalartist #drawing #exercisephysiology

I saw Swedish news pick up the story of the resear I saw Swedish news pick up the story of the research by Hugo Zeberg et al, that found the major genetic risk for sever covid is inherited from Neanderthals and remembered I did this illustration when the story came out. It was never really finished due to workload at the time so it was more of a mockup. But I think they used it a few times anyway. #neanderthal #genetics #3drender #genomics #molecularbiology #throwbacksunday #digitalportrait #helookslikeme #selfie
