Peace and love but I’m not opening that Giving Tuesday email. Give your marketing and development teams a day off. ✌🏼

I also made one in pink. Just for fun 💕 #printmaking #linocut

I haven’t posted much art on here in a while but here is a reduction linocut I’ve been working on as a demo for my class and entry for a print exchange #printmaking #sciart #desertcottontail #rabbit #linocut

I know it’s scientifically proven but it always surprises me how great I feel after spending time outdoors 🌵

Finally saw a coyote while hiking! 🤩

“And now for the non-sporting group. First up, the standard poodle. Fun fact about this dog—he is also an active hunting dog!” Sooo… he’s a sporting dog. #NationalDogShow

Pumpkin prints! I finally tried my hand at carving a relief print on a pumpkin this year and it’s. SO. MUCH. FUN. Wish I got a bigger pumpkin! 🎃👻 #printmaking #halloween

I’ll never forgive them for the film adaptation of the musical Hair. If any a play-turned-movie needed a remake, this would be my choice.

Perhaps it’s because Fridays are my GBBO watching days but I’ve been on a roll with impromptu desserts. This week: fudgy brownies with chopped pistachios and pistachio cream 💚

It’s prime great-tailed grackle molting season and they all look so goofy.

I don’t hate going to the dentist. It’s a perfectly ok experience. But the music… the music! It’s what I imagine they’d play in the fake good place that’s actually the bad place.

The semester is well underway so I haven’t really been making my own art lately. But here are some hasty monotype demos I did for my intro to print students ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ #printmaking

Some guy at Twilight

"Pat, why do you carry that ridiculous 600mm lens on long hikes?" Buddy, I can see mountains reflected in the eyes of a trailside pika.

Pals! Page from a National Geographic in my collection, 1925.

Apologies to all my inner arm tattoo girlies. I was not aware of your game. This was by far the most unpleasant tattoo I've ever gotten.

Finished this whimsical little project today!! I love cats so much. 😻

Last week I finished up these four prints before the semester started. I’m so pleased with how the textures turned out! #sciart #printmaking #linocut #reliefprint #desertanimals #bobcat #bighornsheep #rattlesnake #quail

No kings except rat kings. 🐀 “Heads or Tails,” linocut and paint pen, 10x11 inches #printmaking #reliefprint #linocut #blockprint #linoleumprint #rat #rats #ratking

Goddamn. What a sobering and poignant piece of conceptual art. What an amazing artist.

I bring a sort of “Chris Brown beats women” vibe to karaoke that people singing don’t really like.

Will this be the year we finally, collectively decide The Bear isn’t a comedy??

Idk if I ever posted this here: ode to Grackle

Yesterday I attended a mono silk screen workshop! I’ve been doing so many meticulous linocuts that it was so fun to learn a #printmaking technique that requires you to let go of control. #birds

Marco: “I can’t believe how gullible I was as a child. I believed every special move in Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater was real.” Me: “Christ Airs are real. Christian Hosoi invented it.” Marco: “No way.” Me: “Skateboarding was my special interest for 2-3 years. Don’t question me on this.”

Reusing this one, shhh don't tell 🐡🧪🪶🎨

Me: [wakes up at 5:40am to go on a run and sees that it’s already 90°] “… maybe today will just be a rest day…” And THIS is exactly why I have a lil walking pad/treadmill.

Howdy! I’m Wren, a Phoenix-based wildlife and botanical illustrator. I am passionate about educating others on the importance of protecting native ecosystems, specially those in my home state of Arizona. Here’s some of my work!

Good morning #PortfolioDay! I'm Lauren, a biologist and scientific illustrator. I make art for publications, #SciComm, #BoardGames and more! Mostly birds, but bugs and plants and more! See my latest in the game Nature by @northstargames.bsky.social 🎨🪶🧪 #SciArt Shop & more: linktr.ee/tinylongwing

We got a walking pad specifically for this time of year when it’s far too hot to be outside. I’m like a little hamster that needs to run on a wheel for enrichment or something. So I do my little walks throughout the day. (Don’t worry. The cats are never on or around it when it’s in motion.)

I am Liv Rainey-Smith, woodcut printmaker. My art is all hand-carved in wood before inking and printing. My work is typically black and paper white, and my color work is primarily watercolor applied after printing the woodcuts. Not seeking new projects, though I am interested in shows #PortfolioDay

#portfolioday I am a traditional Natural history illustrator from India; my works have been published in Nature Magazines. My works have been displayed at Natural History museums. Looking to connect with nature organizations to contribute through my art! Website: prasadnatarajan.com #sciart

Happy #PortfolioDay! I'm Harry, an artist & illustrator creating with fountain pen & ink. I'm inspired by nature, landscape & fleeting moments that may be missed, translating my observations through my art, drawings & sketchbooks #art #illustration #fountainpen #penandink #freelanceillustrator

hellohello #portfolioday!! i'm kelsey, a freelance illustrator and comic artist who specializes in animals, monsters, people, and everything in-between. i'll available for work, especially ttrpg and cover illustrations, starting mid-august ! 🎨 artofkeymintt.weebly.com ✉️ [email protected]

I almost missed #portfolioday! Hi folks! I’m a #printmaker and university art instructor. I mostly do #reliefprints but I love all print processes. Most of my art is inspired by animals and ecology.

And I finished the snake last night! 🐍 The background scales may need a little fine tuning but I’ll see how they look when I proof. Depth of field is not a strength of linocut. #wip #printmaking #linocut #sciart #rattlesnake #snake

Another in-progress linocut. I’m having fun with the scales #wip #linocut #printmaking #sciart #rattlesnake #snake

Ok! Here’s the pattern the verdin and brittlebush print makes! It mostly lines up which is good enough for me. Title: “Grow. Bloom. Seed. Repeat.” 🌼 #linocut #reliefprint #printmaking #reductionprint #birds #verdin #brittlebush #pattern

Most "artist in residence" gigs, which sound like jobs, are actually paid for by the artist. There are some that pay, but they are super competitive.

midnights full of music (another traffic box illustration set!!)

I’ve also been working on a series of desert animal portraits to practice my detailed line work. I’ll print these when I finish the last two. #printmaking #linocut #wip #sciart #bighornsheep #bobcat

Finished this print last week! I’m overall happy with how it turned out. I’ll post photos of the pattern it’s supposed to make when they’re dry enough to trim. #linocut #reliefprint #printmaking #reductionprint #birds #verdin #brittlebush

AIDS Memorial Quilt on display October 11-13 1996 on the National Mall in Washington D.C. Let us never forget.

Child 1: “Look! Warthogs!” Child 2: “No! Those are javelinas! Mom, are these warthogs?” Mom: “They’re javelinas.” Child 2: “See!? I knew it.” Child 2 is exactly how I was when I was little (and probably how I am today…)

I was at the zoo today and overheard a lady at the coyote enclosure say, “They’re kind of ugly. Not fluffy and cute.” MA’AM! Unless you’re talking about the 2000 film, “Coyote” and “Ugly” should not be used in the same sentence 😤

Is there anything better than transparent ink? (Probably but I still love it) #wip #reductionprint #printmaking #linocut

May 20 is World Bee Day. There are ~20,000 different bee species in the world. 🧪🧵🐝 Here in Ontario we have at least 400 native bees (none of which are honeybees, which are from Europe). Bees are key to pollination. According to the UN nearly 90% of the world’s wild flowering plant species depend, 🧵

Bee Day! Bee Day! 🐝

It's World Bee Day! Here's a native blue-banded bee in flight. Very speedy and difficult to photograph. It's a real workout!
