Hello newsletter recipients! I was hoping to have an update to share about my new home office, but it's looking about the same as it did a month ago. In recent weeks I began prepping for the CMI exam, which I'm taking at the AMI conference in July, and as a result I've had less free time to decorate or do much of anything else for that matter. Instead I've been spending at least a couple hours most days studying in that purple chair in the photo below. The confluence of buying a house, moving, and exam prep has made for an overwhelming season, but I keep reminding myself that it's only a month away and then it will be out of my hands. After July 24th I'll get to enjoy my summer and my new home (assuming I pass the exam, that is).

I recently had some 8x10" prints made of these two just-for-fun illustrations I did last year (the yellow one also ended up turning into a just-for-fun mural, which I mentioned two newsletters ago and which you can read about here). I wasn't sure what sort of reaction to expect since most of my shop products feature artwork that is a bit more straightforward, even though these still fit the general theme. But since their debut at a market earlier this month they've both been a hit so far! If I made more work like this, do you think the prints would sell? I'd love to hear your feedback!

Both of these and other prints can be found here.

Below is some interesting and illuminating content I've collected in the last month, related to art, science, and visual communication.

Earlier this month I created this massive set of dental/periodontal illustrations depicting various dentoalveolar phenotypes from both soft tissue and hard tissue anatomical perspectives. The two scenarios at the top show an optimized periodontal phenotype (the one on the right is somewhat deficient, but still robust), and the four scenarios below are examples of (from top to bottom) intact, susceptible, deficient, and severely deficient bone and gingival phenotypes next to the anticipated impact of intervention; in all four scenarios, the gingiva and bone decrease in volume after the teeth are straightened, which would lead to the need for additional intervention such as bone augmentation.

Here's what I've got coming up over the next few months! I'm hoping to add more summer markets in August, so check back at studiohromi.com/events for other events as they get added to the calendar. You can also shop anytime online at studiohromi.com/shop and Redbubble, and while supplies last at Scorpion Hearts Club and the GRPM Curiosity Shop in Grand Rapids, and Half Mile Handmade in Bay City. I'm currently looking for one or two additional local or regional spots to sell my wares, so if you have ideas for shops that would be a good fit please pass them along!

As always, Instagram is where I'm most active online, but you can follow me on any of the social media platforms below, plus Tumblr, Threads, and Cara. I'm less active on social media in general these days, but I pop in every now and then to say hello.
