3D conceptual artwork

While there are some amazing technologies for creating images direct from nature, they can often only be understood by highly-specialised biomedical scientists. The medical artist, on the other hand, can depict physical processes in a more conceptual way and in a form that aids comprehension at all levels. These images are typical of Tim Vernon's 3D illustration work, showing artistic impressions of neurons firing and a sperm penetrating an egg.

Images like these have always been notoriously expensive to commission and have hitherto been the preserve of wealthy pharmaceutical companies, but they are increasingly coming within the reach of clinical, research and patient information projects. With faster computers and new software in the hands of skilled operators like Tim we're able to offer some fantastic communication media for a much broader range of audiences.
