I spent some time observing animals at the @oceanariumandeducationcenter today for inspiration. I have been chosen to be the artist for their 2025 Maine Ocean Festival poster. I'm thrilled!

If you are feeling angry and anxious about the state of the world right now, take comfort in the knowledge that it’s because you’re not a fucking moron…
MAGAs didn't invent
stupidity, but they
perfected it. 🤔

Can you spot the difference?

The House voted to censure Rep. Al Green (D–TX) for disrupting Trump’s address to Congress. This vote even included 10 Democrats who switched sides to back the censure.

The hypocrisy has never been clearer.

"Take care of this place and protect the possibility for the continuation of our peaceful research."

In 1945, this powerful message was found at the Univ of Tokyo Misaki Marine Bio Station in Japan—a reminder of why protecting scientific research matters: ow.ly/xOKx50Vaaaq

A Flashy Snack
A spider and a male firefly. The captured male changes the flashing of his lantern to resemble that of female fireflies. A potential manipulation. Attracts more males. 🕸️✨

Ok. Officially officially done. I originally forgot to add some shadows that I was probably the only one to notice, but it had to be fixed! Let me know if you want to take it home ♥️.

The Northern Bayberry illustration is ready to go from sketch book to fancy paper. On a whim I included the Columbia Silk Moth. Its primary host plant is the Larch, but it can live on Bayberry.

I'm working on a Northern Bayberry illustration bc I love them. During my research I learned that they are dioecious plants (having male and female plants and different flowers). Now, I need to find good reference information so I can properly draw the difference between these flowers.
