Jen Lobo's illustrated nebulae

Jen Lobo recently worked on series of paintings based on space, and here are a few pieces that were specifically inspired by nebulae.  Here is Jen's own description of her inspiration:

"I had been reading about space and the Hubble Telescope and star births and I absolutely fell in love with nebulae being described as star nurseries. I love the notion of these bright little bursts of light being born out of dust. The names of the nebulae were just begging to be illustrated. Space is such a wealth of inspiration, sometimes I'll read theories, I remember once I was reading about black holes and I get to a point where my brain literally cannot compute. The technical reasons for these magical occurrences are so complex. I just am not capable of grasping some of these concepts, but then the names harken back to ancient theories of the stars and gods. It's almost childlike."

Bob Dob illustrates for Playboy Magazine

Bob Dob recently did this illustration for Playboy magazine, for a piece titled "Meat the Future, The laboratory race to create the next great meal". The article mentions that researchers in Japan are trying to clone "Yasufuku, a steer renowned for siring more than 40,000 wagyu cattle, the breed used for Japan's Kobe beef" - hence all of those cows in the illo!
