Mock book cover of a nonexistent book. One of the fun things about making a mock book cover is that it neatly solves the problem of where to put my name on the illustration. #bookcover #illustration #art

Reading is for everybody, big and small. Lu and Ren take a break in their adventures to read aloud to a herd of curious cavioliths, proving that story time can be enjoyed by both human kids and mountain-sized guinea pigs alike.

Wow, amazing #sciart via @thisiscolossal.com

Saw @annfryillu.bsky.social and @lollibeepop.bsky.social's delightful Big Sunfish illustrations and had to add to the sunfish love!! They're just silhouettes here but trust me, they're Big. They cause sunfish eclipses.

I think that if sunfish could, the would be sunbathing in the sky ☁️ #art

Very inspired by @annfryillu.bsky.social 's recent drawing of a sunfish! Had to draw big guy. What's he doing? What's he thinking about? Probably jellyfish.

Reading a piece on papermaking from the Library of Congress blog and came across this paragraph that manages the fine balance of being both informative and an absolute hoot:

the term "content creator" served it's purpose very well. conditioning people into seeing everyone as anyone and everything as anything, mostly among the ruling class who found it most convenient for their pockets. in that sense, generating slop is the final result of content creation

Third and last of the comics about the ocean I made with @NPR this summer! One of the best things about working on this series was learning about scientists such as Dawn Wright, whose team maps the ocean floor. Full comic: www.npr.org/2025/08/18/n... #scicomm #sciencecomics #comics #STEMcomics

We all have our comfort foods, our comfort shows, and maybe even our comfort games (Breath of the Wild, anyone?)… and some of us have our comfort doodle subjects. One of mine just happens to be seals. I have drawn quite a few this year.
