This is the most incredible footage of blue whales I’ve ever seen

Drawing the rhinos and associated fauna of the ashfall beds. I would love to recreate this in 3d but I think to do it justice I would need more info and data than currently is available to me

In the dark depths of Lake Superior, it's the Kiyi. #SundayFishSketch

Being from Minneapolis, these past few weeks have been especially heavy. I’ve been painting fish again to calm my nerves. Here is a tangerine darter in breeding colors for my first #SundayFishSketch in a while.

Early #SundayFishSketch in the heatwave. New pens (Oblique banded sweetlips)

Here is a watercolor painting of a Roundhead Parrotfish, intermediate phase, Chlorurus strongylocephalas, for my #sundayfishsketch #sciart #marinelife #coralreefs #parrotfish #spanglersscuba

Another belated (for my time zone) #SundayFishSketch. Here is シロギス Sillago japonica, whose slang in Taiwanese Hokkien 台語 Tâi-gí is 沙腸仔 or "sand intestines" for its slender shape and sandy substrate preferences. Tried it for the first time as sashimi recently, lovely! #TaiwanFishes #台灣魚類 🦑🐡🧪

Shovel-tuskers! Ancient elephants like Amebelodon are an evolutionary success story, and we’re only just starting to understand how they used their exceptional jaws. I’ll tell you more at Smithsonian. 🧪

Microraptor. Nine years old and still one of my favourite paintings I have ever made. #sciart

OK so it's Monday here but it's still Sunday the other half of the world. Here's my late #SundayFishSketch of an arapaima, inspired by a fun reel that my friend @seaofglitter shared, giving me a #SciComm chance to say "hey, that's a real fish actually!" 😄🦑🐡🧪

My girlfriend and I had another paint night this weekend. This time we painted some 3D-printed Redside Dace! #SciArt #NatureArt 🐟

The Monster clay horse is done, now to pour the plaster mold. Wish me luck, if something goes wrong it could ruin the original and I’ll have to start over! #yearofthehorse #lunarnewyear

Pleistocene steppe bison Bison Priscus. It inhabited Europe, Asia, and North America until the early Holocene and is the ancestor of modern European bison and American bison. I'm not sure if it's noticeable, but I was inspired by ancient images of bison and Altamira and other caves.

Ringing in the new year with a new species for #SundayFishSketch! Introducing Rhinogobius chongkangensis, a newly described #TaiwanFishes #台灣魚類 from 中港溪 Chongkang watershed in 苗栗縣 Miaoli County in western Taiwan. In #Zootaxa authored by Chen I-Shiung 陳義雄 at National Taiwan Ocean University. 🦑🐡🧪

And the crab effigy vessel is mostly done ! There will be some fine tuning, and adding white slip, but normally no larger change. I think it is too triangular in the back, and the legs are improvised, but I only had pictures from the front. #SciArt, #pottery, #ceramics

😬

Further paper tests allow further wizardry - this time in a more contemplative mode, though.

A very quick #SundayFishSketch of the dwarf topminnow (much better name than "least killifish")

Sunday was the last day for the Institute of Contemporary Art San Francisco (ICASF) in their awesome temporary downtown space. I wanted to go back and sketch the awesome art installations, and then it turned out they were also holding a holiday gift boutique...

Added in the shiny reflections and he is pretty much done. I'd like to touch up certain areas after resting for a bit, but I may as well show him off early. This is "Regal", a male Australian blue swimmer crab that took nearly 250 hours to paint, spanning over 3 years #sciart #crustmas 🦀
