Buchanan, creator of the well known biological series of postage stamps
(insects, pollinators, spiders) will share tales from the world of a
working science illustrator. In theory it is the business of
communicating scientific subjects in graphics to a broad public. In
practice it also includes educating scientists about the public, the
possibilities and limits of computers, and much more. In many cases
the artist is the advocate for the interests of the ultimate audience.
It helps to have a large wardrobe of hats. Steve was a concert pianist,
trained at the Oberlin Conservatory of Music, before becoming an
illustrator. He currently works exclusively with digital media but has
a unique painterly style- utilizing the computer as another painting
tool. He has range of clients from the New York Times and Scientific
American to the US Forest Service and US Postal Service. Steve lives in
Connecticut and is a member of the New England Chapter as well as the
National Guild of Natural Science Illustrators. His work is on display
