Here is a colored pencil sketch of my favorite type of shark to round out #sharkweeksketchjam #sciart #finsattached Reference photo by Leonardo Lamas, downloaded from Pexels.

🦑 Squid squad alert! This may be a type of whiplash squid from the family Mastigoteuthidae. Filmed during the #MarDelPlataCanyon in Argentina, where an international science team is exploring the diversity & distribution of seafloor communities in one of the country’s largest deep-sea canyons. 🇦🇷 .

Not a single negative comment about yellow jackets. I love them and find their behavior fascinating. I don't give a shit if you stepped on a garden rake, fell over, got your head stuck in a ground nest, and now dislike them for their mighty defense systems.

Slipper lobster at your service <3

The Kristineberg Underwater Observatory is now live!! 🐟🧪🦑 Similar to the @coralcitycamera.bsky.social. Watch the eel grass meadow full of life live from your desk! Gobies, crabs, pipefish, several species of wrasses including some massive Ballan wrasse. Enjoy! www.youtube.com/live/goB60IJ...

Born to hang out in aquariums, cursed to do whatever else.

The views on the Ring of Kerry are always magical 😁

Don't know how many I'll manage to draw, but here is day 1 : Tachypleus tridentatus #AugAthroAwe 🐡 #kleinekunstklasse Ich mache auch mal bei einer Challenge mit, auch wenn ich wahrscheinlich nicht viel schaffen werde 😊

Check out Javiers beautiful snakes. Here is my version of a yellow-bellied sea snake from last year. Give snakes some love 🐍💚! 🐡

It was pretty cold last night so the moths were not as out as we’d hope, but we still saw cool critters, like this assassin bug nymph!

Me, fighting first day con jitters: oh man, what do I do? The Mizutsune and Nargacuga blind bag figures sitting on my table:

A buckler dory for #SundayFishSketch this week. I worked on this during the last few days of ASM training. #FishArt, #SciArt

The thing that bugs me most about “de-extinction” is that ignores the fact that we have to have healthy ecosystems to support these animals. What good is it to bring back thylacines (far example) if there is nowhere they can survive?

In the last 60 years we've lost 70% of our seabird populations worldwide!! That's about 230 million birds. #birds #conservation #illustration #sciart #kidlitart #kidlit #puffins

Black bellied rosefish for #SundayFishSketch

In 2024 I drew a green shield bug (Palomena prasina) for my light and shadow series. hgpenningtonart.co.u...

Made my first circuit with the materials from the estate sale haul! I went online looking for recommendations for beginner electronics guides and I was able to find the highest rated one as an online PDF (Make: Electronics, so I've been reading and following along with the experiments.

Kaizen: A Factory Story is sooooo good. I haven't reached the point that I do with most Zachtronics games where I hit a hard wall of difficulty yet, it's done a great job of introducing the mechanics in a digestible way. Love the 80's Japanese aesthetic. store.steampowered.com/app/2275490/...

There is now a spontaneous sit-in protest of my departure. #CatsofBluesky

This is the first time in a while that I've had time to draw for fun, so for an early #SundayFishSketch, I finished my drawing of an Atlantic Silver Hatchetfish 🐡

Recently finished painting of deep ocean Abyssal Grenadiers, based on a photo taken in Antarctica early 2025 by @deepseauwa.bsky.social Titled “Ghosts, Memories and other Ephemera” 36x48” acrylic on canvas #deepsea #deepseacreatures 🐡🦑

I have a kuwagatamushi monster but not a kabutomushi monster, and I was struggling to make them distinct, but what if I just make them intentional twinsies?

Sang a NIN song at queer karaoke tonight and apparently the transfems specifically went fucking crazy, so I'll be riding that high for the foreseeable future.

Here's the fully laid out Yuri Gagarin poster. Gonna have them professionally framed and fixed if possible. Ignore the cat hair, this is our spare room and the cats like to nap in here.

All finished! 🧶 Now framed and proudly hanging on the kitchen wall near our bag of bags.

I didn't know it was #superseabirdssunday But now I DO- here are some more of my recent paintings of puffins! #Northumberland #seahouses #farneislands #batteries

#TeamFish is pretty excited about seeing Chonkleosteus I mean #Dunkleosteus pop up in a certain dino movie. (Nevermind whether mosquitos and had even evolved in the Late Devonian, or how a mosquito even bites a fish, or...). Happy #SundayFishSketch everyone! 🦑🐡🧪

For those who might be interested and don’t have Paramount+ or the discs: The free Pluto app has a channel where they run the original #StarTrek series and The Next Generation in continuous rotation. Starting today at 12:30pm Eastern, they’re offering the first season of Strange New Worlds. FYI.

Ok so I went to an estate sale that I think changed my brain chemistry. Dude had no surviving family, no kids, his church (he only went to a couple times) is selling his stuff and his house on his behalf. House is super plain, sort of a ranch house, everything smells like pine sol.

More progress on this puffin painting today.
