It's International Save the #Vaquita Day!

With fewer than 20 left, the vaquita is the world's most endangered marine mammal. I painted this piece in the hope of raising awareness for vaquita.day.

#SaveTheVaquita #Cetacean #whales #porpoise #endangeredspecies #conservation #Animalart #Sciart
A painting of 2 Vaquitas swimming underwater among some corals and underwater plant life. This painting was made for Save the Vaquita Week 2025 in hopes of raising funds and awareness to help the vaquita come back from possible extinction. Save the Vaquita Postcard Print is a limited run of 100 signed 5x7 inch postcard prints, on premium cardstock, and will be signed and numbered on the back. This hand painted original postcard print is a little token and a reminder that you made a difference in helping the Vaquita. All funds will be donated directly to porpoise.org for Save the Vaquita Week!

Been wanting to dive into more spec evo concepts, so I present the Dawn Herald! My take on the oft seen "sky whale" seen in the fantasy genre. They use their ferrite alloy horns to follow in the wake of a magnetic moon for energy efficient locomotion.

#specevo #fantasy #illustration #digitalart
The golden light of a rising sun illuminates a monolithic cumulonimbus cloud that looms over the composition. A whale like creature careens into the foreground, a large spiral horn protruding from its head. the large clouds behind it, small white birds around its head, and a small airship in the foreground that overlaps with its silhouette suggest that it is massive in scale. The whale has an elaborate glowing pattern on its underside.

The poster features 176 species of frog from Madagascar, to scale. The biggest species are over 100 mm, the smallest are under 10 mm. They come in all kinds of shapes and sizes and colours. So many variations on the theme of frog!

I love that this project lets me make and share things with friends every year, so it’s extra exciting to co-host this year’s #SciArtSeptember with my friend Lucy, who illustrated this week’s banner. 🌟

Been playing #StardewValley with some friends and felt inspired. Just a sketch but working on a colored version featuring Willy that I'll post when I finish. Smoked catfish to secure that bag 💰

FMK - rey dau, rathalos, zinogre
Illustration of Rey Dau from Monster Hunter with a really nicely drawn foot. Also not that it matters but I counted all the tail and back spikes to make sure it matched up to the actual guy. Illustration of Rathalos from Monster Hunter with extra care paid to the subsurface scattering on the wing patagium. Rathalos is my favorite creature design so he gets special big boy treatment. Illustration of Zinogre from Monster Hunter in fully charged state. When I first saw Zinogre 15 years ago I was not really into him. However seeing him go super saiyan and start breakdancing in game turned me around pretty quick.

Considering we are what we eat in a literal sense, I have to wonder how much of my body composition has been derived of parmesean cheese over my life time.

Big yawn energy to get through Monday! 💤 Our growing tapir calf, Ume, is now 103 pounds. She will remain behind the scenes, bonding with her mom, Yuna, until later this spring. 🌸

Have an oarfish for Possoin d'Avril! Gouache painting I did last year for school.

An oarfish weaves in and out of frame of a square canvas. Poisson d'Avril is spelt out in its scales. Seaweed borders the frame.
