More #riso test prints. Trying to print up all my central park pollinators. I didnt draw these specifically for riso printing so the cymk ish separations have been super fiddly. Using blue, yellow, fluorescent pink, and brown inks

Working on a new #riso print today. Hunter green ink turned out darker than expected so had to do some tweaks. First layer printed with yellow and raspberry

A Sagebrush Sheep Moth (Hemileuca hera) on Mount Kobau in the Okanagan. What a great place to be for bugs!

I've been working on a lot of apparel designs for my company (Planter App) these past couple of weeks! Here's a design I'm fairly fond of for obvious reasons 🪻🐛🌼🪲

another fish, sargassum frogfish done in gouache playing with a vibrant pink under painting #sciart #fish #sargassum
Scanning a colour correction card with the painting might help? My dads been archiving a massive collection of gouache paintings and that definitely makes his editing process easier

Hi #PortfolioDay
I'm a freelance science and nature illustrator from New England. I love drawing native species I find on my walks, especially if they're weird and warty.

Dream job would be to work on a non-fiction picture book
Had a great time sketching at the new york aquarium the other week. Could really only draw the sleepy ones while I was there so I maxed out my phone storage with reference pics and had fun with posca markers at home.

Really enjoying the vibes here at #SciArt and glad things are taking off!
Another #pollinator closeup. This time a cabbage white butterfly. This might be my favourite flower in the series, and I had fun sneaking my friend and their dog in the background.

Happy #Pride 🌈 Vector illustration pack of native plants and animals in every colour of the rainbow. Made it a few years back, and if you're in Maine might see it again this year 👀

Really big lichens or a really small hiker? I’ll let you decide

If anyone has a better idea how to share this aggressive an aspect ratio let me know 😵‍💫 Maybe some close ups since the compression is kinda brutal?
Be working on this one for far too long but I present to you "Central Park #Pollinators," based on bugs I saw in the park last summer. The plan is to print it as an accordion book but it also works as a big ol sign

Some common eastern bumblebees (Bombus impatiens) to celebrate #WorldBeeDay! Will share the full images of the whole project soon

Fantastic ending to Baroness Kidron's speech in the House of Lords yesterday, which led to the government's defeat on AI & copyright.

Speaking the UK's creators: "Their property, their labour, is worthy of your protection - because apart from anything else, it is not ours to give away."

Folks call your Senators now!! A ban on any state laws on GenAi for 10 YEARS is gonna do unthinkable harm!

So excited it's vernal pool season again. Eastern red #newt and some of my favourite moss and lichen (Peltigera) I've seen in Vermont. Original digital illo and #riso print, using my own funky spot colour separation.
