Illustrating Science and the Surreal with Lydia Ortiz

A childhood spent at museums combined with a lifetime of drawing prepared Lydia Ortiz (@lydia_ortiz) to illustrate the show “Dinosaurs Among Us” at the American Museum of Natural History (@amnh) in New York City. The exhibition explores the gradual transition of dinosaurs to birds through rare fossils and lifelike models of dinosaurs with stunning feathers. “It’s a mix of science and the surreal,” says Lydia, who joined about 50 other artists who were invited to an illustration event which was shared with the hashtag #eatdrawgram. “I kept drawing even when I got home from the museum,” she says. “I literally did not sleep that night from too much excitement.”
