True Story: I’m A Medical Illustrator
This is one of Lucille’s illustrations! Any guesses on what it is? 😉
What does a medical illustrator do all day? Draw viruses and skin diseases? And, like, HOW? From photos? From real life???
Medical illustration is one of the few creative fields that still requires actual drawing – not just graphic design or photos with filters. Today Lucille is telling us about drawing simulated results for plastic surgeons and how she deals with drawing bladder infections.
Welcome to Yes & Yes!

Shooting a bow seems kind of awesome and badass, right? I sure thought so when I added it to my list for this year.That badassery sort of evaporated when I discovered that I lacked the upper body strength to use my friend's hunting bow. And...

How To Stay Optimistic When Everything’s Horrible
Dear Sarah Von, How do you stay so optimistic even though the world around us has so many problems? Everyday I see awful things on the news (war, famine, class inequality, etc), and even my work is slowly taking a toll on me. I work in the environmental justice field, and it's just sad to see how unfair the world is. I used to be a much happier person when I was younger and more oblivious to...
