Look around you. The diversity and complexity of life on earth is overwhelming and data continues
to grow. In our desire to understand and explain everything scientifically from molecular evolution
to supernovas we depend on visual representations. This paper investigates visual representations
of the bacteria Streptococcus pneumoniae by use of ink, watercolours and computer graphics. We
propose a novel artistic visual rendering of Streptococcus pneumoniae and ask what the value of
these kind of representations are compared to traditional scientific data. We ask if drawings and
computer-assisted representations can add to our scientific knowledge about this dangerous
bacterium. Is there still a role for the scientific illustrator in the scientific process and synthesis of
scientific knowledge?

Table 1: A short list of examples of visual representations from different scientific sources. The first column names the
molecule; the second column lists the entries in the RCSB Protein Data Bank (www.rcsb.org); the third column shows the
structures drawn by computer graphics adopted from 5&6%3'%, and the fourth columnshows sketches of the
structures as these will appear in our drawing. We use a simplified structure in the final visualisation of Streptococcus
pneumoniae. The structures are represented in grey scale to avoid visual distraction.
