I agreed to do a commission for Christmas back in November, and it turned out amazing! The goal was willow bark with the molecular structure of aspirin on the bottom (no pic of that) I’m still working out the details but I’d like to do some more commissions this year.

2025. It was hard, there were bright spots, the end.
I did a lot of art for fun this year, I’d like to make art professionally and collaborate this year.

Is there a good photo repository for geologic images like there are for plants and animals? I’m looking for cross sections of soil with tree roots, google just wants to show AI 🗑️
I’m really tired of fake images, I need an #askascientist feature since I don’t have access to university materials.

As per usual, I’m not organized enough for a daily drawing challenge, I’m sort of following one and combining prompts. This was “nocturnal” and “ocular” together in a moth caterpillar with eye markings. The regal moth and its caterpillar forms aren’t venomous

Just screaming into the void as I desperately try to dissociate and fail. Here’s a stink bug/shield bug that I drew as a starting point for another project.

I got some paper on sale at Michael’s, and decided to do some colored pencil practice for #AugArthroAwe, it’s been a hot minute. I meant to just do some sketches and it turned into a full drawing. (Based on an image from inaturalist by Peter Swart)

Someone suggested I draw an argiope spider next, so here is a yellow garden spider, or argiope aurantia.
It’s been….a week. I could use a break from the hits.

Just a little ladybug on a leaf. Yes, the eyes are not quite in that spot, just taking some artistic liberties. I need some suggestions for the next arthropod drawing, I’m feeling a little stuck.

Oh no….and we’re already missing a House Rep that won’t get a special election until November despite the seat being vacant since March.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said Wednesday that tackling redrawing the state's congressional maps would be part of an special legislative session later this summer as Republicans seek to hold on to their narrow U.S. House majority in next year's midterm elections.
So… they’re openly gerrymandering, now?

I don’t know if it’s gauche to post back-to-back, but this buffalo tree hopper is too cute to resist.
Between holiday and depression I haven’t drawn much, but I finished this guy today.

I hear it’s #portfolioday, I like to do a lot of different things but my main endeavors recently have been illustration, medical and otherwise, and my forever favorite, ceramics.

I miss having fireflies everywhere in the summer at night. Apparently they aren’t as common in Texas as Pennsylvania, maybe I need to move back to the northeast.
Anyway here’s another arthropod doodle.

Just a doodle of a love bug, which I rarely see anymore. For my own sanity I’m going to doodle more #arthropods. Also when do we get the ability to edit posts?

Realizing that I’ve come full circle: getting shingles 10yrs ago likely triggered psoriasis, for which I take biologics, and because of these immunosuppressants I’ve recently gotten a bunch of vaccines, including Shingrix. Which incidentally feels like flu-light for a day 😭 #getvaccinated #psoriasis

I’m almost as anxious about the Canadian election as I was about the US one in November. Crossing my fingers for all my friends up north 🇨🇦

Hey #portfolioday
I do a lot of different stuff but I mainly focus on graphic design and illustration. I have recently gotten my certification in Biomedical illustration/ communication, my most recent work is in that vein (pun intended hehe)

I overthink every social media post, thinking it has to be the best thing I’ve ever created because everyone else on here is so good.
This is a watercolor I did last night to prove to myself that even if it’s not groundbreaking it still made me feel better.
