A midsummer's evening in 2021 at one of my favourite lagoons in south-east #Iceland.

Looks like some of the first images of Mars' surface are down from the Psyche encounter. Images from camera A so far, and no color yet. flic.kr/p/2sdxp6e flic.kr/p/2sdsK58 flic.kr/p/2sdyE2N flic.kr/p/2sdyFQs

Though hiking in a downpour is not super comfortable, it does bring out the features of mushrooms and lichen #fungifriends

Zebra longwing (𝘏𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘪𝘶𝘴 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘯𝘪𝘢) ✨the only established native longwing in the so-called US (common in the southeast, and parts of the gulf coast). Loves subtropical and tropical climates, like most longwings. #natureillustration #sciart #butterfly

And a health update while I'm at it: insurance finally approved Humira, which I started last month. It's still too early to know exactly how well this medication will work for me, but I have noticed that I feel a little less stiff and I don't need three naps a day anymore, so my hopes are very high.

And I still haven't been making a lot of art this year, but I did finish this study of a friend's dog a couple weeks back

Life lately I'm something of a gym bro these days

Thanks to everyone who came out to see the Fae-ble show at Zoetropolis this weekend. It's a great show! These pieces are definitely worth seeing up close and in person if you can. #lancaster #fantasyart #darkfantasy #goblincore

This Great Egret in breeding colors was getting a #mouthful repeatedly on Friday at #PtReyes. You can see the bulge of many previous little fish in its neck.💚 #BirdOfTheDay #Birds #NaturePhotos #NationalParks #iNat 📷

A #painting for you from the southwest of Ireland now. "Youghal, Main Street" came out of a visit to the east Cork town where I got to enjoy nice food, nice beer, and nice rain, before cycling in the sun on a perfect green sky day. #Art #SpéirGhorm #ArtYear

On a cemetery road, two butterflies seeking nourishment from scat (Mourning cloak & Eastern comma; the scat is possibly fox feces) 🌿

"Godforsaken" Another preview from BEASTS OF BURDEN, opening Saturday May 2 at Archimedes Gallery in Cannon Beach.

Went out into a new section of forest today and found a plant I hadn’t seen before, growing all around the creek. My phone says it’s called skunk cabbage.

Last week on Te Mata Peak — and a reminder of why I love calling Hawke's Bay, New Zealand home. 🌿 Morning mist, golden light, and a ridge that never gets old. Moments like this remain rare, even after many visits. #photography #landscape #nz

The Deerly departed Bones (likely) of Columbia Black-tailed deer, seen while hiking among the oak forests of the Columbia Gorge. In the wild, average lifespan is said to be around six years. Predators such as cougars, black bear, or coyotes; or harsh winters can cause their death. #Mammals 📷🦌

A couple more shots of another section of the mica cap fungi found today. These shots better exemplify one of my top 3 favorite words, #Deliquesce, or to become liquid, related to decomposition. Which is what the inky caps are known for & aids in spore dispersal. #FungiFriends #Fungi #Photography

A couple more focus stacked shots from today's visit to the forest. #FungiFriends #Fungi #Photography

It’s #WorldHearingDay to raise awareness about hearing health and accessibility. Here’s my #SciArt #embroidery of the cochlea/inner ear—nave of vibration (2017)—which I did while researching my symptoms of hyperacusis.

The mahonia in our forest is ready to help out any early bees with its bright yellow flowers 🐝🌿

Neon sculpture by American artist Leticia Maldonado, 2020s, whose work is inspired by the Las Vegas signage she grew up around.

Today is #WorldWildlifeDay and I have been fortunate to experience so many magic moments with wildlife. We need to continue to work towards protecting wildlife and the places that they call home.

THE REACH (1999) Acrylic on Canvas - 48” x 30” Almost a Lumen painting, in which figures are trying to work their way out of enclosed spaces and get into the light. I used a model for this one and it was quite difficult for her to take this pose and hold it long enough to capture the gesture. 1/3

Remember, biodiversity is critical to all species on our planet, including us. If you can, spend some time outside and appreciate all of the amazing sights, sounds and smells in nature. #worldwildlifeday 'Origin' is a visual exploration of biodiversity. Acrylic on panel, 96" x 48".

As it's #WorldWildlifeDay Here are a selection of my hand embroidered wildlife artworks. #embroidery #WildlifeArt
