Fuchs has long been artistically inclined. “I was always the guy in school who would paint the AC/DC logo on jean jackets—I was like, I can draw a straight line,” he jokes. He started art school for graphic design but soon realized he could focus on illustration instead. “Straight lines look good and all, but every once in a while [you can] put a curve in it.” For Fuchs, illustration is about looking deeper into the science behind the story and choosing imagery that “opens up another question” beyond what is in the article itself.
