Hey! I’m Meghan, a lifelong artist; painter and drawer. The deep ocean has my heart and I adore painting unusual critters you don’t usually hear about ❤️ I’m contracted for writing and illustrating a deep ocean children’s book releasing in 2026. I also use deep ocean images in my personal work.

Each morning I'm like oh shit I need to remind people to buy Love Bugs valentines (cute art! facts about insects! & how you can help that insect!). But that means I am only reminding the morning crowd repeatedly & never the late night goblin crowd.
OH WELL. Buy valentines: squidfacts.bigcartel.com

For all the folks out here who can't believe what's happening is happening so fast, with so much acquiescence...don't be so naive. This is America. Many of us who have been trying to fight for a democracy that just recognized us since the 1960's tried to tell you this ish was fragile.

Every year I participate in #ArtAdventCalendar. It’s a great way to fill your feeds with art at the end of the year. All are welcome & it’s definitely not just for people who celebrate Christmas. Join in! It can be a bit of an antidote to all the commercialism of the season cause it’s just about 🐡🧵

It's about that time of year- time to remind you all you can get your FREE christmas grub STL for 3D printing from either my MyMiniFactory or Cults3D pages. Enjoy and if you print one, I'd love to see pics! 🐡

Many bivalves can see! Scallops have hundreds of eyes, which they can even use to resolve simple shapes, to help them navigate while swimming. Giant clams and some other cockles have them too. Juvenile oysters have an eyespot for navigating in the larval phase #clamFacts 🧪

That was our last slug of the evening (we had lost the light and didn't want to lose skin off our knees as it got harder to navigate). Here's a roundup of the evening's sea stars -- plenty of ochre stars in purple and orange, a bat star, and hundreds of little six-armed stars!

Shamelessly taking advantage of the bluesky migration to share again some of my favorite echinoderm pics 😀🤩

And of course the cool and soothing #invertedLUTs
with my new favorite combo: inverted grey + white.
and a last reminder, for social media sharing of cool microscopy, it's fine and good to use gamma correction to adjust the contrast without saturation!
