These are almost two years old now- but here aresome #Tiktaalik illustrations I did for some educational outreach!

My favorite part was adding @nshubin.bsky.social into the drawing as a fun to add a segway into shouting him out lol
A two frame illustration depicting Tiktaalik roseae. The first shows a black and white line art of a Late Devonian landscape. The second is a close of up Tiktaalik with orange and green to highlight different aspects of the anatomy. The different colors went with different parts of the original presentation these illustrations were drawn for. *Some of the traits are over simplified or not fully scientifically accurate. Shows a Tiktaalik 'fin' compared to human anatomy.

The right corner says 'Honk if you love Brian' Movie poster for Big Eden, a small miracle. It shows the back of a man in a white shirt at the end of a peer looking at a lake. Movie poster for The Summit of the Gods. It shows an animated man in climbing gear on the top of a mountain. His back is facing the viewer. An Alternative Poster for Megamind.

I needed to feel like I had control over my life so I walked three miles to participate in a snowball fight

My roommate and I are both hyperfixating on different Zelda games hehe.
A picture of a living room form the point of view of someone sitting in a chair in the corner. Their legs are visible under a blanket and a switch with tears of the kingdom is visible. On the other side of the room is an entertainment stand with twilight princess playing. There is a second person playing this game on the TV not visible. There are various decorations around the room and on the entertainment stand. The sun is setting so the room is dim.

Myself and a fellow colleague from the Medical Entomology & Virology laboratory at Southeastern got our Honors Diplomas and Senior Honors Distinction last night :)
Three people standing in a crowd. The one on the right is a trans man wearing red and black holding an Honors Diploma. The man the middle is behind but is an older man smiling (he is their thesis advisor). The third person is a plus size woman in yellow also holding an Honors Diploma.

I just wanted to take a moment to introduce myself!

I'm Matt, a graduating senior getting my BS in Biological Sciences with a life science concentration

When I'm not actively working in the lab, I spend a lot of time writing and drawing.

If we are mutuals, my dms are open! ^_^
