The old adage “a picture speaks a thousand words” is exceptionally apparent in medical art, as sometimes a simple image is all that is needed to easily convey a large amount of complex information. Similarly, poor images can easily confuse a subject, which is why I think it is valuable to have a medical professional producing these images.

The ability medical illustrations have to shallow the learning curve in a meaningful way is what drives me to spend countless hours creating such images. I think that my background in radiology and chiropractic medicine, as well as firm belief in science-based medicine help refine the accuracy and appeal of the images I create.

​To the surprise of many, I don’t think of myself as an artist. I simply fell into creating medical illustrations out of a desire to improve my effectiveness as an educator in radiology. My understanding of medical illustration is entirely self-taught from free, on-line resources which is why I make the vast majority of my illustrations freely available for viewing and use under a minimally restrictive creative commons license. I believe that as we all gain critical skills and information from such free resources, it is our responsibility to return the favor.
