ABOUT

My name is Nutsinee Kijbunchoo. After spending more than 10 years as part of the LIGO Scientific Collaboration, I decided to leave academia and find out what the world outside of LIGO looked like.

As it turns out, the outside world comes with more free time to draw—and, conveniently, better pay.

These days, I work as an optical engineer and spend my spare time drawing the things I love most: science, cats, and occasionally the questionable intersection of the two.

WHY “ANTIMATTER” ?

When I started drawing for The Daily Reveille (LSU’s student newspaper) in the summer of 2011, I was asked to come up with a “hammer”—a name or signature for my comics.

I chose Antimatter because it was easy to remember, tied nicely to astrophysics, and, perhaps most importantly, summed up the general mood of my comics in a single word. (I kind of hated the world back then.)

I stopped drawing for the paper after one semester, but somehow, the name stuck. Fifteen years later, here we are.

USING THE COMICS

If you’d like to use my comics in a presentation, classroom, or for any other non-profit purpose, feel free! All I ask is that you credit me as the artist.

I’d also love to hear where and how you’re using them, so feel free to send me a quick email—but there’s no need to ask for permission first.

For any commercial or for-profit use, please contact me at n.kijbunchoo@gmail.com to discuss permission.
