Pretty big fan of any kind of any polychaete, but my favorite is the Nereis Sandersi. This pic is pretty famous so maybe you’ve seen it!

Started this a few months ago and finally picked it up to finish it today.

They keep pushing and pushing, but we are cockroaches, bb! We are fungi. We will find a way.

ROTIFERS (and a ciliate). It’s mostly #rotifers and I was practicing the “squash and stretch” animation principle. #art #inverts #invertebrates #weirdart #animation

Cockroaches are canonically trans. 🏳️‍⚧️ Nothing is that strong and cis. #stickers #art #queerart #invertebrates #cockroaches #transpride

These rotifers are acting as good practice for the “squash and stretch” animation principle! The ciliate is there for the chaos factor. #art #2danimation #rotifer #sciart #smallartist

Here’s a silly bristle worm-inspired friend for #invertefest. I’m pretty sure this guy hangs around your local coffee shop.

Here is a cool trillium. I used to think they were fairy flowers when I was little. Still kinda do, #trillium #plants #nature

Do microbes count for #invertefest? Hopefully, cuz here’s a zine I recently made with facts about some of my favorite microscopic life. #art #microscopy #zine #invertebrates

Here’s some of my favorite #invertebrate art

1. Wormy ouroboros 🪱🤣
2. “Become ungovernable” snail inspired by the angustopila psammion
3. My tardigrade OC, Speck and a snail friend
4. Another tardigrade in a sample jar

Happy #InverteFest!

I was super excited to participate in the @silencedscience.bsky.social project and illustrate this scientist from the USDA, Francisco Gonzalez-Tapia. Read the whole story: silencedsciencestories.com/f/francisco-...

Art is, and has been, an act of resistance for as long as society has been around. Now is not the time to conform. Make the weirdest art you can. Make people uncomfortable. Make a better world. #art #artasresistance #fantasyart #worldbuilding

Small artists see the user names who always like or comment on our videos. We remember the names that continue to show up in orders. And you mean so much to us! Supporting small artists, especially now, really does keep us going. 💕🦠 #smallartists #sciart #supportsmallartists

I’m the biggest fan of all “weird little guys” especially when they come in the form of tardigrades, insects or general microscopic life.

This is pretty accurate 🫠

Drawing cute little tardigrades in the middle of the night will always be my favorite. I mean, who needs sleep? #art #tardigrades #weirdart #invertebrates #creaturedesign

Did you know there is a snail so small it fits inside a grain of sand? It’s called the Angustopila Psammion and it’s very cool. This isn’t that snail, this is an acorn snail boi, but you should have that info regardless. #snailart #art #bugart #fantasyart #weirdart #insects

Finding and documenting fantastical microscopic creatures is what Professor Lichen does best. And in this world, microscopic life is quite advanced. I hope you enjoy these creatures and this lore as much as I like making them. #fantasyart #art #mythicalmicrobes #creaturedesign #weirdart
