I am opposed to AI products and services because of the extra power they require... IN A CLIMATE CRISIS. I am opposed to AI results - texts and illustrations - because they've been created unethically, via theft and non-consensual use of the work of others. Share if you agree.

I love playing around with different mediums. Beetle baby done in watercolor.

Watercolor painting of a beetle larvae with oak leaves and fungi behind it.

A hammerhead shark curves over top of a canid in a mirrored posture. The shark is trailed by black fish and seaweed. Both the shark and the canid are painted in pastel pink, orange, yellow, and blue that fades into dark black at the extremities.

✨Gay✨🌈

The start of a painting is on the right of a bunch of butterflies lined up vertically creating a rainbow with their colors. On the left is a bunch of real specimens on styrofoam acting as a reference for the painting. It is very gay.

Two headlines in the New York Times today.

Two NYT headlines stating the WH wants to promote more childbearing and the EPA is ending testing for chemicals that hurt children.

When you look at the list of institutions they want to defund: libraries, museums, the Smithsonian, public schools, PBS, NPR, archives, you can clearly see that the real threat to an authoritarian regime is an informed and educated public

Just a quick comparison of a piece from 2019 and my most recent painting. A lot has changed but has also stayed the same.

I think I'm gonna go ahead and call this piece done. After struggling with art block and imposter syndrome amongst other things it was nice to just create something for fun.

I miss that feeling when I was a newbie artist walking into an art store and just being in awe at all the different mediums, surfaces, tools, etc. The creative possibilities felt endless.

Finally painting a new piece. Very much a work in progress at the moment but I'm very open to critique (especially for the water cause somethings not sitting right with me.)

I desperately need to stop doomscrolling and start doompainting instead.

Here's a gouache study that I did a while back that I never really shared, so why not for #worldwhaleday

This might be a shot in the dark, but does anyone know how someone that isn't in a scientific field can access scientific papers? I want to use scientific research to influence my artwork but I don't even know where to begin with accessing research, especially some niche topics, lol.
