2016 Vizzies Winners
posted Thu 25 Feb 2016 by Michael Galloy under VisualizationThe 2016 Vizzies Winners have been announced, for example this awesome illustration Weedy seadragon life cycle by Stephanie Rozzo:
During her time volunteering at the Monterey Bay Aquarium, freelance science illustrator Stephanie Rozzo helped clean the seahorse exhibit. Over time, she found herself enchanted by their colors and movements. Rozzo knew she had her next illustration subject when one male began carrying eggs (as males of the species do).
She rendered an expectant pair of seadragons – native Australian fish closely related to seahorses – in acrylic paint with their seaweed habitat in graphite. The work depicts the species’ life stages from embryonic fry through adulthood.
