This painting is a cross-section through a blanket bog: Sphagnum mosses carpet the dark peat below, which rests on metamorphic rock. It’s an archive of time: from minutes to billions of years. #sciart #natureillustration #illustration #gouache

Ahh I wrote & illustrated my first book! It’s been a secret I’ve kept for over a year, but very excited to finally reveal ROCKS – published by @quartobooksuk.bsky.social in March 2026! You can pre-order from all the usual places here: geni.us/Rocks #SciArt #PortfolioDay #illustrator #BookSky

Painted some mushrooms for #UKFungusDay! #sciart #fungi #illustration #natureillustration #gouache

POV: you are in Scotland but it’s 400 million years ago and also you are a tiny springtail #sciart #illustration #paleoart #kidlitart #natureart

A very exciting #moth encounter in Edinburgh today: Clifden Nonpareil / Blue Underwing / Catocala fraxini The only record in Scotland according to @inaturalist.bsky.social!

My first podcast appearance! Listen to me talk about rocks and art here: open.spotify.com/episode/1LBH...

It’s hereee! My popular geological #calendar is back for 2026 – you can pre-order it now: vojtahybl.com/shop/p/2026-... It isn’t your regular calendar, though. This is a journey into deep time: I took the whole timeline of the Earth (some 4.567 billion years) and condensed it into one year #SciArt

My new illustration of an iconic tundra bird – the rock ptarmigan! It traces the colour of their feathers throughout the changing seasons #sciart #nature

Really big lichens or a really small hiker? I’ll let you decide #illustration

WORLD-FIRST: Ground-breaking research published today in the Ornithologist Journal has, for the first time, translated common UK bird vocalisations into equivalent phrases in the human language. The results tell us a lot! Extracts below... 🧵

Cool cloud alert!

You’re walking in the coastal saltmarsh on a crisp morning at the tail end of winter. As you peek over the grassy hummocks, you spot a lone curlew feeding in the morning mist. #natureart #sciart #illustration

Leaf illustrations have grown in my sketchbook. Is this a sign of spring?

It’s book publication week!! 😄 “How the Earth works”, out March 6th. Can’t wait to see it out in the real world! 🥰 🌍 ✨ (Personalised signed copies can be purchased directly from my shop! > theflattype.etsy.com) #SciArt #EarthScience

Happy #WorldSeagrassDay! Here’s common eelgrass with a stalked jellyfish friend #SciArt

It's my birthday today 🥳 If you want to give me a gift, I'd love reposts of my art!

Guess the bird I’m painting based on my colour swatches #SciArt

Grab your rocks and art supplies, and let’s experiment 🪨✏️ Our Patreon theme for February is rocks (of course) and we’re making marks inspired by geology! Available as part of the Map lichen tier: www.patreon.com/c/vojtahybl #SciArt #illustration #markmaking #geology

Watery art! Loch Glencoul from my time in Assynt last summer – the vestige of a glacier ❄️ #illustration #map

A little painting of a bleeding tooth fungus 🩸 #FungiFriends #illustration #gouache #natureillustration #SciArt

Come #sketch with me in my favourite place in Edinburgh, @ntlmuseumsscot.bsky.social! Starting with the best rock, orbicular granodiorite from Australia 🪨 #SciArt #illustration

bringing back some #InvertebrateShitposting from the archives

Lichens! I illustrated these as Artist-in-Residence @ Glacier Nat'l Park & Rocky Mtn Nat'l Park. One isn't allowed to collect specimens in a NP, so I noted the exact placement of the rocks bearing these specimens, brought them to my cabin to paint, then carefully returned them to their home. #sciart

Stop worrying about bats and newts? No Rachel Reeves MP – start worrying about the future of our economy if we tear down the nature it depends on. Nature isn’t a blocker; it’s the foundation of growth.

From a recent trip to Seaton Cliffs on the east coast of Scotland I’m obsessed with the Old Red Sandstone, just look at the colours! But had I walked here 400 million years ago, these rocks would just be forming and I’d be swimming in rivers. #SciArt #Scotland #geology #illustration #art #rocks

Hi! I’m new here. 🤓 My name is Becky and I’m a Geologist and Science Communicator. My goal is to see as many cool rocks on our planet as possible - and share with you what it is that makes them so cool. 🪨🤓 Follow me to see our planet through a new lens 🔎

Little NOAA crab, you are my muse 🦀 #SciArt #colouredpencils

Today’s #fungi – a White Brain (I think) making the most of some dead wood plus lovely fruticose lichens #nature #lichen

Slowly migrating over. Stupid obsessed with #lichens so starting with a #riso print from a poster series I did last year of lichen close ups. This ones the tip of a Cladonia squamosa branch. In theory they look like dragons? #illustration #scienceillustration #botany #art #procreate

Okay, how do you make friends here? Illustrators, scientists, nature-obsessed folk – come connect! I create art inspired by the Earth and my favourites are rocks! Here’s a selection of some projects from the past year 🪨
