Drawing Conclusion @drawingconclusion-blog - Tumblr Blog

I thought I would make a post since I haven't in a long while. These are some of the sections I was working on during my internship at the Royal College of Surgeons. Tumblr always changes the colour of my illustrations.

Title: Chemical Carcinogens in the Athabasca River: The Alberta Oil Sands and Increasing Cancer Rates

Tools: Photoshop CC, Maya Autodesk 2014, After Effects CC, Audition CC Purpose: There is a lot of concern that the increased cancer rates around the Athabasca oil sands in Alberta (where I grew up) are a result of these PAHs. Many papers that have been published within the past couple years detail levels of PAHs in the Athabasca River and its tributaries that are actually much higher than initially reported. The link between PAH and cancers is widely established. I would like to create a 3 minute bio-molecular 3D animation to present these issues to the public. It would depict the complex events underlying the pathophysiology specific to the types of cancers associated with increased PAHs. This project is targeting the general public, politicians, and even researchers in the field, and the desire is to increase knowledge and stimulate public interest in potential developments of new public policy surrounding the oil sands.
