June 2026 issue of Scientific American, featuring an illustration and animation by Violet Frances. Art direction by Jen Christiansen.
For more information, check out a case study post by Violet, in which she describes how she developed the cover illustration. The journey includes a print of Grace Jones, Italian Futurism, and grappling with what it means to be an artist in the age of generative AI. (Collaborations like this one are why I love my job.)
