Nils Cordes is a biologist, working on his PhD on the evolution of wax moth behaviour. When he finds the time, he draws, paints and photographs the living world around him. He is also behind evolvimus, a German ScienceBlog tackling everything evolution and biology.
Nils is currently struggling to finish his first children's book, First Life, a somewhat biological adventure on the origin of life. To his credit, he did manage to illustrate a cookbook, Honey, I'm Homemade, featuring honey recipes.
The AlphaBeasts were a bit of an experiment for him to see whether he could learn to paint on a tablet with rather poor color calibration. It seemed to work most of the time.
