I love my possums so much

Getting my ass thwacked by a nun in Catholic school is finally paying off!

My tired, persisting husk will be tabling at Monsterpalooza this weeked!

Here we have an @charamath.bsky.social masterpiece showcasing her fantastic creature work. Happy to see the moa brought back to life in fantasy form!

Beginning out our new prototype - a dark fantasy soup game - with some ultra-sexy previz by the talented @nimasprout.bsky.social. Idea by none other than big brane @flyingfangs.bsky.social.

Feeling sassy, made a thing

Topical.

@hankgreen.bsky.social I’m still getting my Goodstore subscriptions in Uline boxes. Please don’t give these people money

I don't know if many know this, but Kelly was part of the first battle to defend artists against Midjourney when we found just how much of our art was taken for training. Their name was directly targeted to trained on and work affected by the slop intensely. Take a look and share, it's so close! :)

Screaming friend for #Monsterpalooza

This definitely forbidden gummy is in fact a moth larva of genus Olona (possibly Olona zolotuhini). It's *normal* to want to know what flavor it is, but the answer, unfortunately is "pain". Most species in this family are covered in tiny stinging spines connected to poison glands. (📷: Janice Ang)

*me staring at all the gardening and weeding that needs to be done* ‘The spirit is willing but the sinus is weak’

I was once told by an instructor that my art was ‘Lisa Frank on crack’. I think he seriously underestimated the amount of drugs that woman did, but she was out there being an entire damn brand w/ her rainbow animal art when I was a kid being told art was a dumb hobby, so…#goals

Close-up. Unintentional but the aphid appears to have an expression 😅

this snake is judging the shit out of you. you know what you did

The FCC plans to try and erase trans people from the US media, then I imagine they will work they way down the bullet list. If you are American, I encourage you to fight back. You can do provide comment to the FCC here: glaad.org/fcc

Trans people deserve youth. Trans people deserve old age.

This is making me lose my mind. Are these people so divorced from their own imagination that they can’t even understand that artists are intentionally not depicting reality?

Thought i'd share some real old destiny concepts 😔

Why do currants have so many hyper specific bugs that live to destroy them?! Blister aphids, stink bugs, currant sawfly (caterpillars of it pictured below), currant fruit flies…why does my currant bush’s milkshake bring all the bugs to the yard?! I’ve become the Johnny Appleseed of ladybugs ffs

Hey artists, especially character designers, here is a gift. I just found out about Ocean Census. In a world full of fake images made by AI is a comfort to see a compendium of real image references. So many different creatures to inspire us. oceancensus.org/species-gall...

Give Sarah money. Sarah gives back ten fold in energy, science education, and to communities all over the country. Just do it.

If you ever wanted to get started in watercolor, I have a mini guide on my blog with my personal recommendations! I don't go over all possible options, this is just what I use to keep it simple. My goal is to offer a starting place :) #watercolor #paints #guide www.kamakru.com/blog/2024/2/...

3d printed Horse Foot model is available on my Etsy! Can be disassembled to show the inner structure of a horse's hoof. Some parts are rigid and some are flexible, and it's held together via magnets and friction. blueappaloosastudio.etsy.com/listing/4506... #SciArt #BSNM #Horse #SciComm #ArtShop

Something I made. Thinking of doing more of these kids of things. Both for work and for me. Plz play and share out game. Love this team. youtube.com/shorts/Q1KqJ...

@bordenary.bsky.social and I are doing an impromptu co-working stream on god knows what! multitwitch.tv/charamath/hy...

Happy Birthday David Attenborough! #art #drawing

Hello Bluesky! I think I'm ready to share some art again 🩷

I wish to be a furry in Atlanta right now

Dear hiring managers,

"Claim your stardust, comet to life." ☄️ Another Posca marker dragon~ Technically a WIP but stopped here because I love how it is. 💞

Lunch

As I lie here with my nephew asleep in my arms, my dearest wish is for sama'a's young girls to know the same peace and contentment. Please give what you can.

Three endangered Mexican Wolves getting their first taste of freedom after being released back into the wild. I can't even describe how happy this video makes me. Specially the moment when the three reunite and excitedly greet each other after release.

this is terrible

Why is this flap-necked chameleon (Chamaeleo dilepis) moving erratically across a South African road & what does it have to do with pigeons bobbing their heads? The chameleon's disguise isn't complete without this herky-jerky motion. Let's learn about saccadic movement! (📷: nickkleer)

Much of the cardboard and paper goods strewn about our homes are sold by a single private company, with its name, Uline, stamped on the bottom. Many may not know that a multibillion-dollar fortune made on those ubiquitous products fuels far-right candidates across the country. (Published 2022)

Well that’s just disappointing

Quick! Everyone into the Flesh Mary’s throat hole!

This is Achrioptera manga, a giant phasmid or stick insect native to Madagascar. The specific epithet, "manga" means blue in Malagasy & it's not hard to see why. Only males are blue. The tiny back wings ("alae") are an example of brachyptery: they're useless for flight, but have other functions.
