Marco Garbelli

Almost one year after my last post, here I am back again! Let's see if I can follow through this time 😅

Did you know? Our Center for Microscopy and Image Analysis has detailed step-by-step instructions (zmb.dozuki.com/c/Lightsheet...) how to operate and troubleshoot your #mesoSPIM microscope. By
@mgarbelli.bsky.social and Jose Maria Mateos Melero, for users like you 😉

All in all, I consider this last year as a success, and I can’t wait to see what 2024 will bring for me as an #artist!

Wish you all a lot of success and happiness in this new year to come!

In 2023 two new very exciting projects took form, the first in the shape of a virtual coworking event for science visuals artists I organized with @joanagcc.bsky.social , Rita Felix, Andre Caetano and Cassandra Tyson.

During this year, I kept on working with Facts and Reasons, taking in a new artist and becoming the lead graphic designer for the team. I got to work more with Zeeks-Art for Geeks, getting to know better @kuglerelisabeth.bsky.social who became a friend of mine and a Director that I respect.

Having finished my PhD, I shifted focus and decided to split my career in two, keeping on working in the lab as research associate at @uzh while taking half of my working week to set up my own career as science visuals artist.

From the top left, following the outer square clockwise, the illustration of a barn owl standing in front of a mice (white pencil on black paper), the digital drawing of an adult zebrafish in a circular motion with a DNA strand completing the circular motion starting from the zebrafish tail, a digital cartoon version of Marie Curie, holding a radioactive flask, a coloured pencils on white paper illustration of a lesser bird of paradise coloured with a phoenix palette, a cartoon-like digital illustration depicting the concept of “weasel words” and “euphemism” as a double headed masked figure, a watercolour painting of a purple gibbon holding its hands in a heart shape, a digital illustration of an African dwarf frog standing on a water plant and a leprechaun’s pot of gold made of wood and vines.

I finally break my silence on this platform with this #artvsartist2023!
While this last year was not very productive in terms of illustrations, it was a huge transition period that set much in motion for the years to come!
