More #riso test prints. Trying to print up all my central park pollinators. I didnt draw these specifically for riso printing so the cymk ish separations have been super fiddly. Using blue, yellow, fluorescent pink, and brown inks

Working on a new #riso print today. Hunter green ink turned out darker than expected so had to do some tweaks. First layer printed with yellow and raspberry

Hi #PortfolioDay
I'm a freelance science and nature illustrator from New England. I love drawing native species I find on my walks, especially if they're weird and warty.

Dream job would be to work on a non-fiction picture book

Had a great time sketching at the new york aquarium the other week. Could really only draw the sleepy ones while I was there so I maxed out my phone storage with reference pics and had fun with posca markers at home.

Really enjoying the vibes here at #SciArt and glad things are taking off!

Another #pollinator closeup. This time a cabbage white butterfly. This might be my favourite flower in the series, and I had fun sneaking my friend and their dog in the background.

Happy #Pride 🌈 Vector illustration pack of native plants and animals in every colour of the rainbow. Made it a few years back, and if you're in Maine might see it again this year 👀

Be working on this one for far too long but I present to you "Central Park #Pollinators," based on bugs I saw in the park last summer. The plan is to print it as an accordion book but it also works as a big ol sign

So excited it's vernal pool season again. Eastern red #newt and some of my favourite moss and lichen (Peltigera) I've seen in Vermont. Original digital illo and #riso print, using my own funky spot colour separation.

More #riso prints from my #lichen close ups series. Both from the genus Cladonia, the one that looks more fingery in the sub group Cladina. Fun fact the tips are dark with the same melanin pigment we have as sun protection for new growth

One of my favourite illustrations from last year, showing fish I saw on a trip to the new england aquarium. Originally made it for a two colour riso print but have had fun rearranging bits for some mock editorial layouts. Need to draw more fish

Working on a piece about native pollinators in central park. So many statues and weird angles gonna be a relief to get back to the #bugs

Slowly migrating over. Stupid obsessed with #lichens so starting with a #riso print from a poster series I did last year of lichen close ups. This ones the tip of a Cladonia squamosa branch. In theory they look like dragons?
