I think it's important to write about how and why we make art because like... humans need to make art, and they need to experience it. It's a way of the human brain processing reality; without enough of it, you go fuckin nuts. So if we can help people make good art, we can offer some nourishment.

Venus and the Moon looking lovely tonight! (And fainter Saturn nearby)

I am not a shrimp… I am a king prawn!

Friendly reminder for this new year: if you want to draw you only need one thing: DRAW It's okay if you don't have art studies, if you're bad at anatomy or color, if you draw on a napkin or if it looks “ugly” to you... You don’t need to be “good” at something to have fun!

I can finally share this now that it’s finished! My embroidered Tie Dye Stegosaurus! #Embroidery #Dinosaur #Art #SciArt

For me the goal in 2025 is this: amidst the work, amidst the chaos and the worry, amidst of all of what is to come and what is to be done about it... I am going to aggressively pursue joy both in my writing and out of it. Less a resolution, more a dogged, committed mission to seek joy big and small.

Right ?!?

Saturn briefly covered by the moon. One of the most difficult shots

Absolutely Stunning timelapse of Earth rising over the Moon captured by lunar orbiter spacecraft Kaguya. 💫👏💫👏💫👏💫 📽: JAXA/NHK

a fun byproduct of being an audiobook person is sometimes the book is so good it tricks me into doing chores so i can keep listening

Btw shout out to all the people who still add me/include me in science lists. I appreciate you! Trolls may attempt to bring me down by calling me “just a space artist” but my PhD didn’t evaporate when I decided to leave academia. Forging my own path doesn’t make me less of a scientist. 💃🏻

Fox in the leaves ~ my favorite stitch from this year I think

You ever draw your OC *the way they're meant to look* in an art by accident and you constantly analyze said art trying to figure out what the hell you did right?

dandelions make me so happy, i don’t care that they’re considered a weed 🌱 #embroidery

Indeed. When they rounded up the Japanese Americans, myself and my family included, for internment during WWII out of fear over Japanese spies and saboteurs, two thirds of us were U.S. citizens. Don’t think it won’t happen again when they come for the “undocumented.”

smth ive learned over the year is: i wanna draw for ME, i don't really care about numbers anymore. people will enjoy my art or they won't, simple as.
