How are you today? Current events are making me very anxious. Does it feel like we are moving backwards? Do we as individuals have any recourse? Is it enough to be invested in our community and loving to our families? We live on such an incredible planet.

I 💜 blastoids. They're the fossils that got me interested in fossils. Specifically, the Mississippian species Pentremites godoni. ~25 yrs ago, I acquired this specimen and, using a microscope, made this pen and ink stipple drawing. Of my own work, it is one of my favorites.

“Flowers are just exhilarating to be around. When you are going somewhere and you pass a rose you stop and smell it and then you keep walking, but bring the roses home and you can stand in front of them for an hour or so at a time."

From 2018: For children raised in the 70s natural-foods movement, the pinnacle of dietary suffering, worse even than sprout sandwiches, was carob—the chocolate substitute that never could.
How Carob Traumatized a Generation

May Flowers 2021
My garden is very small but it’s full of tulips and the month of May is when it looks best. I included some spring butterflies and a small blue & white vase from my grandmother. This was one of the pieces chosen for the lobby of the Postmark Hotel in Newmarket Ontario.

Did I actually refer to Elon Musk's legendary Telsa as a "douche panzer"?
And at the parliament of Canada's press gallery?
I wonder how that term slipped out.
But yes, I'd hammer him with tariffs.
I don't like fascists.

I drew this Northern paper wasp in 2019, as part of a project to illustrate some of the insects & spiders associated w/ goldenrod. It's one of the most common insects I've seen visiting goldenrod. I think they're handsome. More about the project: www.emilydamstra.com/projects/gol...
