"Programmable Matter" (Tetris DNA) Art Print

A "Programmable Matter" (Tetris DNA) illustration, assigned by New Scientist in 2011, which was my break-through moment in illustration industry, now available at Society6 as an art print ("on popular demand", LOL) http://society6.com/kata_illustration/programmable-matter_print#1=1.

2014: a year of DNA technology breakthrough or just a massive coincidence?

Oi folks,
you know how much I love working on scientific illustration assignments, right? Well, in the beginning of 2014 I was involved in a few DNA scientific-editorial illustration projects for various popular science magazines at once, as breakthrough after breakthrough is being published on the genome technology, and it got really hard to manage to make all of those assignments different and do not mix the concepts while working on few similar ones at once. Here are  my two favorite of the whole bunch:

©Kotryna Zukauskaite, 2014, for New Scientist, AD  Ryan Wills, Title: Right on target: New era of fast genetic engineering (idea: new technology allows to target specific parts of the DNA very accurately).

©Kotryna Zukauskaite, 2014, for Scientific American magazine, AD  Jason Mischka, Title: Gene Therapy's Second Act (idea: Sisyphean task to make a breakthrough in the gene therapy technology fighting constant setbacks in the laboratory)
