I was commissioned through a friend of a friend to draw some illustrations for a paper being submitted to a medical journal. Although some changes occurred along the way, I was entirely happy to see my illustrations in a scientific work. Only after the full finished text was posted and linked to me was I informed that it was Oxford Press that had published it, so it was quite an honor for someone who had never been published before, anywhere, ever.
the view of the fourth image showing the final stitches and folding was changed. I was also asked to brighten the images.
