Working on some botanical illustrations. Here's a string of pearls 🐡 #sciart #botany

Almost done with this glass mosaic mural that's taken me all summer to find time to finish. Ruler for scale on the right. I've never done this before so lots of learning experience from this

100 circles from my expedition on the scientific research vessel, the JOIDES resolution, back in Dec 2023. Feeling nostalgic about my 2 month cruise in the Mediterranean recently #scicomm #photography 📸

I don't fit in my patch overalls anymore sadly, and now I need to figure out where to reuse these. How do yall use patches?

Did an art trade with a friend last week (:

Cleaning my fish after a successful day of printing 🐡 #salmon #blockprint

I'm half way through a well needed vacation now, and I hoped to make some art during this time. Not sure how people keep up with consistent art posts 😪 I think all my brain can handle is swimming in pools and drinking beer with friends for the next week

Once every two months I finally clear my schedule for a week to make art where I will then make 5 projects, only to disappear with my busy schedule again for another two months. I seem to forever be one of those people that fills every second of my free time with something to do

Working with artists is really one of the best parts of being an author! I gotta give some time in the spotlight to the awesome art @dirtmossart.bsky.social did for Wriggly Little Hands. This piece immediately stole my heart! 😙

I love giving artists fun prompts and letting them run! So how's about we shine a spotlight on the amazing work artists have created for my books based on the smallest of directions? Up first, chapter header art for Wriggly Little Hands created by the incredible @dirtmossart.bsky.social!

Tomatoes! 🍅 #art #illustration 🎨🖌️

I'll finish this eventually #wip #digitalart

Observational sketches from spring semester #sketchbook #art

Working on my yearly/birthday self portrait and man! Two tone hair is hard! Why did I ever decide to stop dying it 😭 #illustration #art

Clearing out my sketchbooks and projects from this year. Controversial choice apparently but I simply recycle my full sketchbooks and projects I wouldn't put on my website. A room would fill with work that I'm guaranteed to never look at again if I kept it. "Lost media" and such though

Spatula carving attempt..

Have you thought about having a scientific illustrator join your next oceanographic research expedition? @dirtmossart.bsky.social sailed on JOIDES Resolution & describes how artwork showcases passion & a point-of-view beyond any photograph. Take a listen to this new episode of #TalesFromTheDeep 🌊⚒️

Sanding and varnishing tables this summer

Some serious progress today 💪 #chamsa #judaism

Working on a big, community-wide collaborative, glass mural at my synagogue. Never done this before but it's working surprisingly well (:

Writing about influential artists for one of my finals and now I get to blab about @drlauraguertin.bsky.social 's incredible quilts all while pushing SCICOMM to a bunch of future freshman 👀 definitely no ulterior motives.. 🐡

Some slow moving progress on my birds

Working on some stork paintings 🪿🐡

Thinking about joining the welding club at my university, so I'm reminiscing about watching the welding on the JR last winter #photography #welding 📷📸
