'Coral County' Comic, Science & Art Collaboration!

Brianna Leahy Art in collaboration with the Vega Thurber Laboratory of Oregon State University are proud to present 'Coral County, Episode #1'!

This comic is the first of three interactive web-comics that promote marine science learning! Below, you can read the comic, but for its full interactive features, please visit briannaleahyart.com/coralcountycomic !

Our goal with this project is to provide fun & educational content for the general public & everyday reader. We hope that this comic can inspire interest and a greater understanding in science, especially in marine biology issues and ocean health.

We encourage sharing with friends! The 'Coral County Comic' is also fully available for educational use. For educators, please, encourage students of any age to visit the website and learn!

More episodes are coming very soon!

Art-Monday: Science Illustration!

I am back! I am excited to say my absence on my blog was because of a great opportunity! I have been working as a resident artist with the Vega Thurber Laboratory at Oregon State University doing scientific illustration for their publications & presentations! I cannot tell you how happy I am to be contributing to this educational endeavor. Their research is inspiring!

Below you can see the first of my pieces for the Vega Thurber Lab, an image & diagram demonstrating coral metagenomics & virus ecology. And my feature on the OSU artist page! I will be posting more scientific illustration as it is released in publications!

My artist bio on OSU's website!
