I'm just saying, we could settle this with swords, instead of 30+ emails. 🤺

I FUCKEN FINISHED!!! As always, it took me 2 months, but I got there in the end.

The final illustration of a pink silkmoth with beige and brown upper wings and vibrant pink lower wings. Oh, and an incredibly fluffy body.

A close up showing the detail of the furry wings.

Doing week prompts for #sciartseptember instead of the daily. Last weeks first because I was out of town, here’s a real scary guy* for Horror week. We spent all week looking for one but couldn’t find any, so I painted it instead.
*don’t hurt his feelings!

I, however,
Have such meagre power,

Clutching at a
Moment,

While you control
An hour.

But your hour is
A stone.

My moment is
A flower.

#everynightapoem As ever.

I have done so little
For you.
And you have do little
For me.
That we have good reason
Never to agree.

Tits or ass? Bro, the soft light that emanates from her like she’s a moonlit shade. The way her soft voice sounds like leaves turning over before a storm. How moths cling to her fingers like they’re made of lamplight.

When I saw a beanie baby owl in a shrub in the urban park behind my house I wondered if someone was trolling me, but then I saw the "Please don't touch, doing science" note an noticed the owl was above a tray of peanuts, with a predator-model-free (owl-less) tray nearby haha

Fluffy white beanie baby owl with large eyes and tiny colorful wings, tucked in the crook of a small sapling so it is over a tray of peanuts.

Half a sheet of notebook paper taped to a tree trunk. In very small, almost unreadable handwriting it says "Please don't touch doing sciences" in blue ink. Definitely could be written larger on the sheet; I had to use binoculars to read it from the path.

Chiitan has a dream.
I hope that one day the term LGBT will become a thing of the past.
I will continue to spread my message until we live in a world where everyone can love freely and is free from persecution and discrimination.
Until then, let's all support each other🤍

Here’s a strange fungus #fungifriends, the Blushing Rosette, Abortiporus biennis. It has 2 growth forms, it can form an attractive rosette but more commonly exists as an amorphous mass which exudes red-brown liquid. Just look at those guttation droplets!!! 😍

I've been seeing my favorite fuzzy friends around! 🍂🐛

Illustration of a wooly (sometimes spelled woolly) bear caterpillar. It's fuzzy and cute and has a happy little smile. There's lines radiating around it and above it says "it's wooly time!" in lowercase hand lettering. The background is a light orange checkered pattern.

It’s a "crisis" when immigrants "take jobs away", but "innovation" when machines do. Funny.

My first pseudoscorpion observation was pure luck. Happen to see this wasp and took a shot. It was only later did I see what was hanging on the antenna.

A brown pseudoscopion hanging on to the antenna of a wasp. The wasp is yellow with black stripes and transparent wings.
