This week we celebrated the scientific contributions of Charles Darwin, born on February 12th, with Darwin Day. I put my manga skills to work to create hand-drawn ink illustrations of Drawin for those who support my work by making a donation of any amount they choose. It was really popular; I’m still drawing dozens of cute little manga Darwins!
And it’s not too late to get your own, here.
International award-winning mangaka and 2009 TED Fellowship member, Sara E. Mayhew is a Canadian writer and illustrator striving to produce manga that promotes skepticism and critical thinking. Canada's prestigious graphic arts magazine, Applied Arts, featured her in their Young Blood article on "new talent commanding our attention". She has spoken on the TED Fellows stage at the TED 2009 conference in Long Beach, CA, and more recently at TEDActive 2010 in Palm Springs, CA. Currently, Sara is working on producing a new series, Legend of the Ztarr, that aims to introduce manga readers to skeptical and humanist values through storytelling. Her blog, There Are Four Lights, combines art and skepticism, with occasional pepperings of general geekdom and random cuteness.
