   Graham Johnson Medical Media provides customized scientific imagery ranging from simple inexpensive drawings for slide or journal publication to large budget three dimensional animations.  Graham serves clients in and around the scientific community throughout the world.  While he covers all topics of science including anatomy and surgery, Graham has come to specialize in rendering cellular and molecular realms.  He became enamored with the microscopic while serving as the sole illustrator and coauthor of an award winning textbook, Cell Biology by Pollard and Earnshaw, and continues to study deeply while working towards an additional degree in molecular biology.

In 1997, fiVe graduates of the medical illustration program at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine formed a business.

Here you'll find a collection of photos from Graham's time at the Salk Institute in La Jolla, CA.

   In 1997, Graham graduate from the Department of Art as Applied to Medicine at the Johns Hopkins School of medicine in Baltimore, MD with a Master of Arts in Medical and Biological Illustration.  During this time he moved to La Jolla, CA to begin work on a textbook with author Tom Pollard MD. He teamed up with Quade Paul and Emiko Koike to cofound fiVth.com.

This is what I'm up to in 2004.
