‼️CALLING ALL BUG NERDS‼️

You'll never believe it, but my next enamel pin crowdfunding campaign is once again based on bugs... HOWEVER... it's *prehistoric bugs*

All creatures weird and cute during the Mesozoic and Paleozoic will get their spotlight for my next campaign launching in JANUARY

Feels like a good opportunity to re-share this thread which is FULL of wonderful front-on bird photos in the replies, haha. The reverse of what I need at the moment, but pure joy to scroll through.

Hey bsky. My favorite thing right now is forward-facing Brewer's Blackbirds. Just so you know.

Show me your forward-facing birds! 🎨🪶 #BirdArt #SciArt
Page of digital sketches of three male Brewer's Blackbirds, all facing forward (or mostly). On left, the bird is standing tall and alert with his neck stretched slightly, and he is colored with bright iridescent purple and blue. The other two are sketched in more muted grays. Upper right, the bird is calling upward with beak open and with tiny pupils. Lower right, he is puffed up, looking straight on, as if about to sing and show how buff he is to the ladies.

please check out my new isopod stickers :)
A photo of a vibrant orange illustrated sticker sheet featuring colorful isopods doing isopod things (eating a piece of fruit, hiding under a leaf, resting on top of a leaf, crawling around). To the right of the sticker sheet are some of the isopod stickers stuck onto a white sheet.

Test print of a 3d printed, table-top, A-frame, NOAI sign. Folds mostly flat, stable when standing.

Thoughts on size? Too big? Too small? (~4.74x7 inches, 12x17cm)

Do the colors on the hinge bother you? (It's simpler to print with the weird colors there, and I'm trying to keep it simple.)
A white, A-frame sign with a red circle with diagonal slash over the black text "AI", below is the black text "Art designed by human artists, without the use of generative AI." A white, A-frame sign from the side-ish, folded in so it's mostly flat, with a small gap at the top. A white, A-frame sign with a red circle with diagonal slash over the black text "AI", below is the black text "Art designed by human artists, without the use of generative AI." At it's base is a scale bar with inches and centimeters, showing the sign to be roughly 12cm (4.75 inches) wide. A white, A-frame sign from the side-ish, alongside it is a scale bar with inches and centimeters, showing the sign to be roughly 17cm (7 inches) tall.

I've been working on a Spotted Eagle Ray pattern. Their shape is surprisingly hard to get right.

I have two listed on my website, they are made of super soft minky and are weighted with plastic beans.
www.palaeoplushies.com/shop/eagle-ray
A realistic plush eagle ray. It's top half is brown with white dots and circle patterns on the "wings". It has a long tail with stripes, as well as a pointy nose. The underside of the eagle ray. It has a lighter belly with ocellated patterns around the tips of the wings. It has a mouth that looks like a 3 and is very cute.
