This animation was partly inspired by one outreach event when I realised the dinosaurs had never seen the Pleiades.

One year ago today, I sold my first pin badge at canopyrobin.etsy.com and set out to fund my trans healthcare expenses sustainably by creating a small business alongside my fulltime job. This quoted thread shares the 17 designs and 106 variations I've made since then!

A very quick #SundayFishSketch for a busy weekend, but my nephew mailed me a drawing of a sunfish this week so I wanted to do one to match

Blue Parrotfish. Their strong plates of teeth are not just for goofy grins. Mainly used for crushing coral to smithereens. #SciArt 🦑 #sketchbook

Fondly reminiscing past birthday snorkels on Hawaiʻi Island / Hawaiʻi nui o Keawe / Moku o Keawe through old underwater photos and thought to pick this Hawaiian cleaner wrasse / Labroides phthirophagus as my #SundayFishSketch contribution for this weekend. #HawaiianFishes 🐡🦑🧪

Combining the life cycle theme for #sundayfishsketch h with #GarWeek for a quick ink sketch of the Alligator Gar life cycle. Eggs -> larval -> juvenile -> adult -> back to eggs!

Don't eat those eggs!
