Little did I know when I made this for a friend of a friend that it would be for a Nobel Laureate.  This image is about biological clocks.  I did several different styles, but this one was accepted and published July 22 2011: Vol. 286, Num. 2.  I have no clue what made me swirl the clock faces into the columns.  Ha Ha.  But I am glad someone thought it was a good visual representation.  If I am not mistaken, this was a freebie, and in addition JBC didn’t put my name in for credits…. so much for fame and glory in the world of scientific illustrating.

So here is one submission for the same journal cover place as above, which was obviously rejected.  I agree with their choice.

And… here is yet another cover submitted to JBC in competition for the same article.
