A FULL MEAL #prehistovember2025
This illustration is based on the #paleodiet of my ancient fellow countrywoman, the Red Lady of El Mirón, which consisted of meat, different kinds of mushrooms and salmon. She would have also completed her meals with vegetables and fruits available at the time.

Had a great time last week talking about my workflow to create scientific reconstructions of prehistory along author Pedro Lima and researcher Verónica Fernández. I'm so looking forward to future collaborations with these wonderful people.

Also I had my own replicas of #artifacts so people could touch and draw them from life. I think my first bell beaker doesn't even look bad.

Last week I taught at my first #archaeologydrawing workshop during the Tribus del Íber Fest in the north of Spain. ¡It was great!
So thankful for everyone who joined me and spent a beautiful evening drawing, chatting about artifacts and discussing the role of #artists in #archaeology.

A paleo-commission from last year for the #experimentalarchaeology program for schoolers at @museodealtamira.bsky.social
I designed the #illustration and the layout of the brochure in order to focus the attention on the pigments and tools used to paint the bisons within the #Altamira cave.

I have a few "megalithic bookmarks" with air bubbles in the lamination. They're on the non-visible side but I do not want to sell them like this as they're not perfect, so everyone who gets anything from my shop will get a bookmark for free until they're gone ☀️

Fun fact: my first dive into scientific illustration was through botanical studies I made when I was obsessed with plant lore in college.
