Magnolia Bugs

Anybody that knows me will learn soon enough that I dislike bugs with a passion. One of my many Scientific Illustration projects involved illustrating one of these suckers, but thankfully my teacher let me opt out of the assignment and let me draw a cool avian skull instead (which can be seen on my website under "black + white"). Looking at these photographs makes me wish I had overcome my phobia at the time... What a way to make something so feared, into something really beautiful and special.

Kari Herer layered magnolia blossoms over classic scientific illustration pieces and then photographed the layout. You can buy these and any of her other amazing prints at her Etsy shop.
