THREAD. A while ago my parents' cat Bridget went missing. As the worrying weeks dragged on my dad devised a way to distract himself: he began to paint Bridget's adventures, imagining her travelling through time & inhabiting art's most iconic scenes. What he produced (& how quickly) was phenomenal...

#WIPWednesday • I missed last week because I was so sick. But I’m improving in hospital & have done a fair bit of stitching. Working on the more sparse colours & had to send Husbandchef out for a couple other shades. #SciArt #embroidery

For the last day of #invertefest, a Jamaican field cricket or Silent cricket (Gryllus assimilis), ink on paper 🐡 Weird fact: I have this drawing as a tattoo 🤣

Happy birthday #mathematician Henri Poincaré (1854-1912), here in my Cubist #linocut portrait. 🧪🐡🧮 #histsci This print is about how movements in art can be connected with contemporary #math & #physics. Specifically, the way Cubism breaks from a single favoured perspective or absolute frame of 🧵

For day 6 of #invertefest, a Japanese Sea Nettle (Chrysaora pacifica), from #invertober2025. A bit more of a sketchy style for this one - I was trying to be quick - but I remember getting really tangled up in those tangly tentacles! Watercolour and coloured charcoal pencil on paper 🐡 🦑

One of the newest additions to my jellyfish collection, Atolla jellyfish (Atolla wyvillei), in watercolour and coloured charcoal pencil on paper 🐡 🦑 This is another jelly that flashes with blue bioluminescence to scare away predators - making it look even more like an alien spaceship! #invertefest
