Did ya'll know Monsters Inc is my favorite Pixar movie? :D Ever since first seeing it in theaters back in December 2001! Here's a little pic of Sulley(my fav!), Mike, and Randall! Been wanting to draw these guys again, I do draw sulley every so often but haven't drawn the others since I was young!

fiction is a safe space to think of unsafe things

if you feel it's messing you up, step away. don't assume it's messing everyone up and you need to eradicate it because you caught a case of the feel-bads from something. go sit with that and think about why instead of pissing in everyone else's cheerios.

Happy #Invertober Day 10!

Common earthworm (lumbricus terrestris)

Went for a different style as I wasn't sure how to make an earthworm aesthetically pleasing 😅

#Invertober2025

Black and white drawing of an earthworm in an S-shape on its side. The words would you still love me follow the curve on the left and the words if I was a worm follow the curve on the right. The background is an elaborate symmetrical doodle of teardrop shapes of varying sizes.

It was once believed that you could predict the harshness of an upcoming winter by looking at the stripes of wooly bear caterpillars. A large central brown stripe indicates a mild winter, while a small stripe means it will be harsh 🐛

The last of the giant flower beetle saga...

Mecynorrhina Ugandesis

The very first one I ever reared, although they were a black-orange variant. I think the blue-pink is so iconic on them though

#inverts #SciArt 💜🪲

A blue-pink giant flower beetle mecynorrhina ugandesis with cream stripes. It sits atop orange and red flowers.
