Well, I'll have to keep my eyes open for more of these sorts of opportunities. I'd love to draw for something like this (I do traditional and digital art. These are traditional ink) 💚

Getting closer and closer on this one, almost to the details stage where everything really snaps into place. This piece is for shows with the @unseenocean.bsky.social #deepsea #deepseacreatures #deepocean #deepseaart 🐡🦑 #art #acryliconcanvas #brittlestars

I really wish more scientists & artists were on here. When I go to in-person gatherings it’s really clear what a small sliver of us are here.

And I get it, how many social media collapses do you have to weather before you just give up?

But organizing would be so much easier if we were all here 😭

This new fav sponge is either Chondrocladia grandis or Chondrocladia concrescens, as both species occur in Alaskan waters! #deepsea #deepseacreaturea 🐡🦑 #deepseaart

Meet the team behind #ArtSeaMatchmaking! We are artist @delphine-art.bsky.social on a mission to share the beauty of the deep sea, and biologist @planulara.bsky.social studying deep-sea corals and sponges. We started this initiative to bring artists and scientists together to collaborate and create.

Will #COP30 deliver?

Without protecting the deep sea, we endanger one of Earth’s greatest natural climate defenses! The deep ocean is heating up, acidifying, and losing oxygen faster than ever, and it's under threat from mining, trawling, and drilling.

First #ArtSeaMatchmaking project intro! So excited to see the teams getting started! 🥳
Hi! 🌊

I'm proud to introduce Oceans Unmined, a #sciart project for #ArtSeaMatchmaking 💙
We'll make #coloringpages of #deepseacreatures and we'll organise workshops for children to raise awareness about #deepseabeauty and #DeepSeaMining 🐙

More #marinebiology and #art soon!

Another beautiful piece for our shows in Juneau Alaska and Spokane Washington!
It’s been a crazy family health crisis kind of month, but I finally made it back into the studio to finish up this 24x36” acrylic on canvas painting titled ‘Huggies and Snackies’. A beautiful stalked carnivorous sponge is joined by pink brittle stars and a golden crinoid. Cuties 😍 #deepsea 🐡🦑 #art

Call out for scientists! 👇🚨

We are still looking for scientists who would like to work on a deep sea art project.

A view artists are still looking for a teammate to create gorgous art and to celebrate the deep sea.
