Guys, this is serious, I have a high profile client that wants me to draw him anti-matter .... but what does it look like? It has to be by itself and not contained in some Star Trek canister or anything....

Any scientists out there?
 
Just think of everything you know about matter, and draw the opposite.

Boom.

How would I portray it? As a white blob with crazy multi-coloured spirals around it?

I'm trying to figure out in what profession you get asked to draw anti-matter and aren't allowed to ask any follow up questions.
 
It's what happens when members of Antifa and members of Blacklivesmatter come together like a liberal butthurt Voltron on Tumblr.

New tri-degree program the physics, philosophy, and art graduate departments cooked up for some bizarre reason.

tell him:

You're looking at it.

Google search the old Victorian: Ether
 
Go to google images and pick one out and hope for the best? not sure if that will help but you don't have many options as I understand it as being the opposite of matter
 
Antimatter may not even exist. Use your imagination since no pics.
 
I'm not sure you could see it. Would a photon survive a collision with an anti-matter particle? If not, then there's literally no way you could ever see it. If so, then I would think it would look just like normal matter, though who knows what light spectra it would absorb vs. reflect.
 
If I was going to show it, purely from an artistic perspective. I might show something similar to magnetic repulsion or attraction.

You know, show things interacting.

This sounds like a job where you could get away with having a feminist mense on a canvas
 
The only difference between matter and antimatter is the charge on the proton/electron is reversed, so it would theoretically look exactly the same as normal matter. If you had an apple made out of antimatter suspended in a vacuum behind glass you wouldn't be able to tell it apart from a normal apple, until it touched something and exploded.
of course since it explodes when it touches anything, we've never been able to put together more than one atom of it, so we might be wrong about what it looks like. Maybe the charges effect the way an object reflects light so everything is red shifted or something.
