Kasia Jackowska
Kasia Jackowska’s Drawing Mathematics series whimsically illustrates various mathematical concepts as part of a project done for a brochure published by the University of Warsaw.

So friendly-looking, you’d never suspect it is one of the select few venomous mammals on this weird planet.
