We create works of art that represent artistic flare, quality and passion. Paintings that are vibrant, full of colour to suit any home, office, restaurant or hotel. Modern technology has opened up a whole new way of delivering fine art. Digital paintings are still hand painted, in the same way they always were with oils, but now there are new technologies that deliver results enabling us to go further and offer more than could be achieved before. More vibrancy, fantastic colours and protective finishes, to ensure you get the very best. This is not photo art on a computer, this is painting art on a computer. With the advent of modern technology: computers, laser printing processes, material finishes, surface coatings, infinite colour selection, all embrace ways in which we can achieve the very highest of fine art standards. Digital painting is an emerging art form in which traditional painting techniques such as watercolour, oil, impasto etc. are applied using digital tools by means of a computer, a graphics tablet and stylus (pen). Traditional painting is painting with a physical medium as opposed to a more modern style like digital brushes and tablets. Digital painting differs from other forms of digital art, particularly computer generated art, in that it does not involve the computer rendering from a model or generating the art from photos. The artist uses painting techniques to create every stroke you see to create the digital painting directly on the computer.

Publications

My Scientific Medical art publications

Below are a number of publications in which my illustrations have been used. They comprise some of the best known science and medical magazines and web site from all round the world. If you are interested in viewing these articles, I have provided a link on some of them which you can access. Alongside each image is a very short synopsise of the image. If you are interested in see my full range of my scientific/medical images can I refer you to The Science Photo Library You can also search for my images if you Google here

Fighting Cancer

Illustration of CAR (chimeric antigen receptor) T cell immunotherapy, a process that is being developed to treat cancer. T cells, part of the body's immune system, are taken from the patient and have their DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) modified by viruses (spiky spheres) so that they produce chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) proteins. These proteins will be specific to the patient's cancer. The modified T cells are then multiplied in the laboratory before being reintroduced to the patient.

Antibodies Fighting Coronavirus

Antibodies responding to coronavirus particles. Illustration of antibodies (Y-shaped) responding to a coronavirus infection. Different strains of coronavirus are responsible for diseases such as the common cold, gastroenteritis and SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome). The new coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 (previously 2019-CoV) emerged in Wuhan, China, in December 2019. The virus causes a mild respiratory illness (Covid-19) that can develop into pneumonia and be fatal in some cases. The coronaviruses take their name from their crown (corona) of surface proteins, which are used to attach and penetrate their host cells. Once inside the cells, the particles use the cells' machinery to make more copies of the virus. Antibodies bind to specific antigens, for instance viral proteins, marking them for destruction by phagocyte immune cells

Genetic engineering, conceptual illustration.

CRISPR gene editing is a genetic engineering technique in molecular biology by which the genomes of living organisms may be modified. It is based on a simplified version of the bacterial CRISPR-Cas9 antiviral defense system

Illustration of CAR (chimeric antigen receptor) T cell immunotherapy, a process that is being developed to treat cancer. T cells (blue), part of the body's immune system, are taken from the patient and have their DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) modified by viruses (spiky spheres) so that they produce chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) proteins. These proteins will be specific to the patient's cancer. The modified T cells are then multiplied in the laboratory before being reintroduced to the patient. CAR-T cell therapy

Illustration of a coronavirus particle (blue) infecting a human cell (brown). The spike (S) protein (protrusions) in the coronavirus membrane binds to angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptors (protrusions) in the human cell membrane, which facilitate the virus's entry to the cell. Once inside the cell, the virus releases its RNA (ribonucleic acid) genome and uses the cell's machinery to make more copies of itself. Both SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome) and the new coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 (previously 2019-CoV) bind to the ACE2 receptor. SARS-CoV-2 emerged in Wuhan, China, in December 2019. The virus causes the disease Covid-19, a respiratory illness that can lead to pneumonia and can be fatal in some cases.

Illustration of CAR (chimeric antigen receptor) T cell immunotherapy, a process that is being developed to treat cancer. T cells (one at upper left), part of the body's immune system, are taken from the patient and have their DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) modified by viruses (purple) so that they produce chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) proteins. These proteins will be specific to the patient's cancer. The modified T cells are then multiplied in the laboratory before being reintroduced to the patient.

T cell binding antigen, illustration. T lymphocytes, or T cells, are a type of white blood cell and components of the body's immune system. They recognise a specific site (antigen) on the surface of pathogens or foreign objects, bind to it, and attract antibodies or cells to eliminate that antigen.

Antibody, or immunoglobulin, molecule, illustration. This y-shaped molecule has two arms that can bind to specific antigens, for instance viral or bacterial proteins. In doing this they mark the antigen for destruction by phagocytes, white blood cells that ingest and destroy foreign bodies. Antibodies can also kill some pathogens directly and can neutralise toxins.
