Happy #Flyday! Today's #ArtAdventCalendar is my Tree Swallow drawing for Birdtober. Way back before I was a birdwatcher and I first learned they're a common bird where I live, I couldn't believe we had a bird with such beautiful color!

For today's #ArtAdventCalendar (and maybe #Crustmas too?), have a crab. Who doesn't want a crab? 🦀

If you want pretty much all my medical themed stuff in a single box, well, I made a listing for that. That was my attempt at advertising for the day, now I go back to snZzzzzz blacksmoke1033.etsy.com

Day 5 of #artadventcalendar and it's my mycoplasma picture, painted with acrylic paint on paper 🐡

I wanted to add some texture to diagrams of this bacterium, so I copied in a map of the village I grew up in.

Making this gave me lots of ideas for what to do next.

I'm a bit of a horse girl at heart. This is a little watercolor painting I did in 2018.

Replacing a part on my 3d printer, and discovered another part has concerning wear and probably needs replacing. But I don't have a spare of the second part.

Luckily I can 3d print one. On my other 3d printer.

(This is why I like having two printers...it's not the first time this has happened.)

Prints are available. Everything currently 50% off on Redbubble, apparently.

You would also be helping to recompense the Temu theft since I can't do anything about it (I can't even get the relevant page to load, perhaps owing to some regional restrictions). 🥲

And with the addition of the (super fragmentary, big surprise) Nicorhynchus, we are done with the Kem Kem pterosaurs! While there are potentially more genera here, they are so scrappy and taxonomically messy, that I'm happy with my final selection.
