One of the biggest "facts" in the world is that science and art separate things.
This is complete bull$%£".
The separation of art and science, academically, is a recent invention. Until the 19th century the border that separated scientists and artists were a blur. Think Pythagoras, Leonardo da Vinci, and the guys who invented photography, if you want examples.
The reason I bought this up is because of an idea I just had today....
A science book aimed at artists.
I have the skills and knowledge to do it, but should I pursue it?
The term "artist" is pretty loose in definition here. It can include cartoonists and animators, as well as writers, illustrators, cross-stitchers, and musicians. And I'm sure many of them have wondered about science once in a while.
It'll be like David Macaulay's The Way Things Work,
if you wanted an idea what this book might look like.
But, I'll only do it if you demand it.
If you do, leave a comment.
(especially if you happen to be an artist who struggled to understand science.)
