Ernst Haeckel

Ernst Haeckel was a German zoologist, naturalist, eugenicist, philosopher, physician, professor, marine biologist, and artist who discovered, described and named thousands of new species.  He’s loved by art teachers everywhere and has drawn shells, algae, jellyfish and many other sea creatures.  The way he arranges items on a page is as inspiring as what he draws and there is a lot of pattern in his work.
