In October 2011 I was contacted by Craig Mackie. Art director of the UK based magazine New Scientist. The email outlined his discovery of my artwork on a well known POD site, and asked if I would be willing to replicate the composition (with minor changes) for the Christmas/New Year cover. Of course I jumped at the chance.
This began a new relationship with the International renowed magazine that has resulted in several commissions being achieved, between Craig and myself. Including several Christmas covers.
Two years later the commissions are still rolling in, and with the completion of four pieces now.
The fourth commission from New Scientist came in Novemeber 2013. The idea concept revolved around the article showing that ants are very brave little creatures, and in fact will risk their own life to save the lives of their fellow colonists.
