Mistake #1: Not having an immediately obvious web presence But in the spirit of sharing experience and learning from our mistakes, I hope this advice saves him and other talented illustrators some heartache so they can get on with their promising careers. To be fair, they are mistakes I have made many times myself and have learned to avoid the hard way. So, what are Josh’s newbie blunders? In my eye, he made three. But at this point, I’d spent 15 minutes fiddling around on the internet in search of the artist - a full 14 minutes and 58 seconds more than 99.99% of the population would have spent. Googling the illustration itself turned up a hit on deviantArt, posted by an Australian Josh Lee going by the screen name “evil-santa.” Could this be the guy? Probably. But googling “Josh Lee illustrator” didn’t turn up anything overtly scientific: a photographer in New Orleans, a concept artist in Los Angeles. I suspected Josh Lee was my man.īeing interested in talented science illustrators, I naturally wanted to check out this guy’s website to ogle his other work. al, describing a new species of plesiosaur found in opal deposits in Australia (opalescent dinosaurs? Dream come true!!!) The illustration immediately caught my eye but the article I accessed failed to credit the artist (inconsistency in crediting artists and image creators is worthy of ten posts on its own, but I'll spare you that rant for the moment.) A quick Google image search on Umoonasaurus turned up several more articles which all seemed to credit someone different: The University of Adelaide, the South Australian Museum, Josh Lee.
I recently came across this beautiful illustration of Umoonasaurus from a 2006 paper by Kear et.
