What a giant leap forward would medical communication field make if the pharma MSL departments learned how to comment on the actual video animatics instead of screenshot PDFs in Veeva.

Discussing a video transition with the team. A colleague: - OK, so this could be like the wardrobe scene in Narnia, where the camera moves through a bunch of fur coats or something—except this isn’t Narnia, it’s a colorectal cancer biopsy.

When we first posted it, commenters in the internets saw the picture and started asking why we post two dickpics on the animation priview.

Importance of thoughtful art-direction. Long time ago we did a 2D animation about some "omics" approaches in oncology. And these were our visuals for the human body and inner organs. If you don't see anything unusual, disturbing, or funny - good for you, you are probably a nice person!

We recently finished a nice series of animations for the amazing team at Kalohexis. Not every project starts with a fascinating 40-minute lecture from the client’s Chief Medical and Science Officer :)

This is super cool! The level of detail in your models is a pure inspiration.

Recent Science Magazine covers look great. I googled the artist behind them yesterday, and their works, are truly amazing: riokahayama.com

Nice to see how much well-deserved attention daraxonrasib receives at ASCO. I remember it as a small 3D model file called RMC-6236.

We had to remake everything with the hormones traveling through the ER membranes.

Yura Stefanov @stefych.bsky.social · 06/03/2026

A funny mistake we made recently. We were animating some hormone metabolism and made the hormone molecules float freely in the cytoplasm. Then, right before the final animatic, we realized that the hormones we were working with were lipophilic. So...

As a person who participated in the protests that failed I have to say that these people better be ready to show up when this will really matter in 3,5 years from now. Show up, stand, and not go away.

As a biomedical illustrator, I don't like Tregs because you never know how to color-code them. Like, are they good? Are they bad? Are they immunity, or part of TME? Always complex color-coding decisions that end up in brown-ish green in 90% of cases.

This is so cool. Sperm whales are probably the most amaizing animals on Earth.

Have to admit, even brilliant Western actors are not very good in expressing what is called a "resting slavic face".

It’s great when you get the chance to model a complete, functioning eukaryotic replication fork while working on a commercial project.

While I agree that the pups aren't true dire wolves, I still find this to be exciting and interesting news. I enjoyed working with the Colossal team on the short animations, which they featured on their website and in the video about the project.

I cried when I first listened to Khlyvnyuk singing this song. A man of amazing talent and courage. I was a fan of his band Boombox some 15 years ago. The Kiffness is ok, but I wouldn’t put it as the song released by him. He just rode the wave of the moment. The tragic and horrible moment.

Thanks! Hi @aemonten.bsky.social, we do logos and would be happy to discuss your project if you might be interested in working with an agency, not just an individual artist.

I enjoy #FluorescenceFriday but don't have much to share because we aren’t microscopists. However, we tried to imitate fluorescence images in a couple of projects.
