Other images have been generated by individual artists whom I've had the great pleasure of meeting and getting to know, sometimes entirely by email, over the last several years during the research and writing of Nanomedicine, Volume I . These artists very generously gave of their time, their professional skills, and their imaginations to produce new images that are original and unique to the Nanomedicine Art Gallery. I would strongly urge everyone to visit the websites of these fine artists, whom I hope and expect will soon find themselves busy with new opportunities as the development of medical nanotechnology continues to unfold. Gallery artwork should be appreciated as an expression of each artist's special creative impulses and insights. Some works may be highly interpretive or impressionistic, while others may attempt to achieve photographic realism or the precise rendering of a technical engineering illustration.
Some images are in the nature of rough drafts or quick sketches.
Others are more elaborate finished pieces. All styles are welcome at the Nanomedicine Art Gallery. All works at the Nanomedicine Art Gallery are copyrighted. Then there are 37 links to other sites with microbiology-related images such as the RasMol and Molecular Visualization Galleries, the 1994 and 1998 Molecular Graphics Art Shows, various SPM and electron micrograph image collections of biomolecular and biological specimens, the Picture Book of Viruses, the Microbe Zoo and the Microbe Portrait Gallery, the Sperm Gallery and the Mite Gallery, and much much more. Most of these sites include many additional images and links to more biological gallery sites.
