Hi and welcome to my user page. First things first: I love seeing my images used, if you want to use any of my images for any purpose just email me (richardwheeler[at]outlook[dot]com) or leave me a message on my talk page to sort it out... In general my images can be freely used and modified so long as you freely share the result and give credit to me; these are the kind rights GNU Free Documentation License or Creative Commons licenses (see the individual images for details) give you. Feel free to check with me if you have any questions though.
These licenses do not cover all uses though, in some cases you need additional permission from me:
- For academic and non-profit work; In general a reference to me (Zephyris (Richard Wheeler)) and the English language Wikipedia is sufficient. It would also be good to include a link to the image page in question.
- For for-profit usage; please get in touch with me for permission. I normally ask for a reference and a link as mentioned above, but I do suggest a donation to me and/or Wikipedia.
- If you are interested in commissioning an image please get in touch with me at RichardWheeler.net .
Also please don't hesitate to make suggestions on any of my illustrations or any alterations you would like to see.

Real world me
[edit ]I am a 39 year old from Burghfield Common which is near Reading, Berkshire, England. I have a bit of a collection of degrees: a bachelor's degree in natural sciences and a master's degree in biochemistry, both from the University of Cambridge, and a PhD in infection, immunology and translational medicine from Oxford University. I am now a professional research scientist and hold a Sir Henry Wellcome Fellowship from the Welcome Trust and currently work in Dresden at the Max Planck Society Institute for Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics
My primary academic interests are biochemistry, molecular biology and physics. My current research focus is on the function of cell shape, particularly thinking about the Leishmania parasite and how it adapts to different hosts. Other interests include music (both listening and performing, I play trumpet and piano to about grade 8 standard), photography and graphic design. I also have a bit of a passion for open source software and primarily use open source programs like the GIMP, blender and inkscape for my contributions. I also heavily contribute graphics to OpenTTD.
I also spend far too much time on Wikipedia...
Some Websites
[edit ]I have a personal illustration portfolio and science website, have a look around... RichardWheeler.net .
You can find me at these places too!
