“if you weren’t out there long enough to get pulled over, did you even canoe, bro?” (based on true events)

ozark hellbenders are endemic to a small region of southern missouri and northern arkansas. the St. Louis Zoo rears larval hellbenders in captivity to address their decline and endangerment. #hellbender #illustration #fish #sketch

Teddy Bear Bee. Pen sketch (pre-color). There are a handful of bees referred to as teddy bears, I captured Amigilla bombiformus. They do look mad snuggle-able, not gonna lie.

Another family Apidae classic You can pet any bee that is cold… allegedly

My rough sketch of @coledunlap.bsky.social looking at my Honda’s engine lol 4/12/25

Daffodil cowboy was mindlessly created as an alter ego, or something, way back. The scientific name for Daffodil is Narcissus. In Greek mythology, Narcissus died of unrequited love toward his own reflection. In some versions, his corpse was replaced by a yellow heart surrounded by white petals…

Illustrated: Orchard mason bees (Osmia lignaria). Mason bees nest in holes in the ground and carry pollen on their bellies instead of their legs. Orchard bees are really, really good at pollinating fruit trees. These guys mate immediately upon the emergence of the females in the spring.

Collaborated with @coledunlap.bsky.social here. Featuring: wizard Jake, dimensional drawing, and the electron transport chain. Beautiful thing when you get some nerds, a keg of beer, and a big whiteboard in the same room.

Some silly stuff I drew in October plus my Pinterest reference image CR-V > literally every other car

Bee species of the genus Melissodes are called long-horned bees, due to their distinctively long antennae. It is not uncommon to find groups of males resting together by latching their jaws on the stems of plants. I’ve depicted them clustered on a Texas Bluebonnet (Lupinus texensis).
