so cute 🥹

Nick has posted some gorgous realistic #sciart (check out his jellies 🪼), but this hit me emotionally 🥺.

It is walnut season. Doggy bags are useful for a lot of things 😅.

Day 17 #SciArtSeptember prompt is trawl. 🧪🐡 Glass sponges are fragile, brittle, living animals with skeletons made of silica, the same material we use to make glass. Reefs, widespread during the age of dinosaurs, are now quite rare, & in fact, were long believed to have gone extinct 40 million 🧵

I got to paint some paleobirds! (The headline art is by the incredible Chase Stone) 🪶🧪

There is always room for wonder.

Ironically the headline is expressing my thoughts. "What The Hell Is That Thing"?

#SciArtSeptember 11 - Venomous Whoops, I forgot to post this yesterday. Cretan giant centipede (Scolopendra cretica). Though almost all endemic mammals of the Mediterranean islands are extinct, there is still numerous unique species to preserve: reptiles, arthropods, plants and so on.

Something for the #goodgreennews feed. Xanders feed is now working again 🎉. We are always looking for more people sharing positive nature/environment news. I think hopeful stories are so important to show that change is possible. oceanographicmagazine.com/news/the-phi...

OK, friends, today's the day! It's formatting time! (It's morbin time always pops into my head when I think this) Formatting my books got more complicated when I decided to start including illustrations, but I think the drawings are especially important for this one. Send good vibes my way 😅

White-winged dove in gouache in my new watercolor sketchbook. Yes, I was definitely singing the song in my head while i painted 😅 #birdart #sciart #originalart #traditionalart #gouache #sketchbook #wildlifeart

I feel underdressed. I'm wearing old grey leggings and my visitor is wearing a velvet cloak with a silken orange dress.

On Monday, my paper on Plesionectes longicollum, a new plesiosaur from Holzmaden, Germany, was published in PeerJ. It received some attention in the media, likely also because of the wonderful life reconstruction by Peter Nickolaus. 1/2 More information: www.sachspal.de/plesionectes... #FossilFriday

Moving on from theropods, we now look at the pterosaurs of the Kem Kem, beginning with the azhdarchoid (?) Alanqa! Some thoughts and size comparison below ⬇️ #sciart #paleoart

#SciArtSeptember 1: Islet Somewhere in the waves of Barents Sea, a rocky islet acts as a perch for seabirds. Puffins, guillemots, razorbills and skuas are still here, though threatened by heating oceans and spreading disease. With them sits a lonely ghost of a great auk that once roamed these seas.

#sciart - this is bloody gorgeous 😮💚

A little evening sketch for #SundayFishSketch and #InverteFest 🐡

Every time I listen to the news, I feel like I have to lie down for a week and just hug my dog. To live in a safe area/country should be normal, but it's such a privilege.

I'm always happy when I see that brown animals get some attention and love 💚 🐡

Sometimes we’re unsatisfied with a thing we made because when it only existed in our head, we saw all the things it could have been and when it’s done we know all the things that it isn’t, but we can’t see the way it expands into a million new things when someone else unpacks it in their head. 🖊️🦑
