I had the pleasure of attending my first Association of Medical Illustrators (AMI) meeting this past July in Atlanta. There is so much talent, knowledge and inspiration to be experienced at these meetings and we are looking forward to attending more in the future.

While I was there, I got to meet many artists who I’ve admired for years, as well as get the chance meet up with friends and colleagues I haven’t seen in quite a while, including some of the folks at Maxon USA. I also got the chance to meet many artists and science professionals who I wouldnt have had the opportunity to meet otherwise. It was a great experience.

We also entered our reel “Wonders Within” into the Salon Award Competition and came out with an Award of Excellence in the category of “Animation Advertising and Marketing /Promotion”. Our award finally showed up in the mail today!

We are of course very honored for the recognition of the AMI and motivated to continue our journey towards greater artistic excellence in the field of Science and Medical Animation / BioVisalization. Looking forward to sharing some more exciting MadMicrobe news in the near future. Now, time to get back to animating blobs…
