The jumble of bones looked like porridge. It turned out to be a new species of pterosaur preserved in prehistoric vomit, the latest fossil find extracted from dinosaur excretions. I’ll tell you more in my latest for NatGeo. 🧪

A new pterosaur species was recently discovered in the vomit of a dino. But that's just the start of revelations from prehistoric excretions.

I'm always happy to share knowledge! Every artist I know is also very open! Just PLEASE say thank you when someone goes out of their way to answer questions or share info (learning not to ghost people after they help you is a valuable career skill).

Share your knowledge if/when you can. Teaching other people how to do what you do doesn’t lessen your art - it just means more and better art for everyone.

I appreciate when people are willing to tell me about their brushes, how they study, etc… I want to put that back out into the world.

I’m just adding context gleaned from working in Japan for a Japanese company and working to open a studio there right now, mired with corporate lawyers and law; I wish people mentioned that Japan’s regulations make it VERY HARD for big companies to fire employees. 1/3

They say ‘fake it ’til you make it’, which might have proved embarrassing to the woman who once wore this snake bracelet, if the gilding chipped off at a party … to reveal the bronze beneath. Discount luxury, same as it ever was. 🏺 1/

Western Greek, from Cumae. 200-100 BCE. #BritishMuseum
Gilded bronze snake bracelet, with curved snake head terminals at either end. The body of the coiled bracelet is made of two medium thick wires of bronze twisted about one another. There’s a feather or vegetal pattern on the backs of the snake head terminals, reminiscent of the ‘agathadaemon’ snakes, which brought luck and fertility. Chips of gilding have worn off to reveal the dark bronze beneath.

Just a quiet, sad little PSA.

If someone is estranged from their parents, please please don’t give them the ‘but they’re your mum/ dad’

They were their mum / dad when they did the worst imaginable things to their own kids.

It’s not up to the children to make it ok. It’s up to them to live well.

NEW PROFILE PIC JUST DROPPED!

Thank you to my friend Luz ( www.instagram.com/arizmor_art/ ) for bringing to life this special version of me for Christmas season <3

MERRY HAPPY JOY EVERYONE!
An illustration by Arizmor Art depicting my cartoon personna, a latina woman with long blue hair and two yellow horns on her head, wearing a Christmassy outfit consisting of a red bodysuit, red choker, black pantyhose and fishnet elbow gloves. She's also wearing red glasses and a heart shaped earring. On the background we see a retro style CHristmass pine decorated with red hangers.

Some 1,900 years ago a child was buried with an array of terracotta figurines in the #Roman town of Arae Flaviae, #Rottweil: 2 pigeons, 2 dogs, 2 roosters, a chicken, a duck, and a female figure, commonly identified as Iuventas, the personification of youth. Rather than....🧵1/2

A museum display case with small white clay figurines arranged in a circle: several birds and two seated dogs on grey plinths surround a slightly taller nude female figure standing on a red pedestal at the back, with a few pottery fragments and a coin laid flat in the center on a grey surface against a neutral background.

Please call your representatives. The future of the internet is on the line because of these bills being forced down on us and they'll keep pushing this shit.

Congress is attempting to fast track KOSA and more than a dozen bills that would restrict internet access, censor speech and increase surveillance under the guise of protecting children.

Committee hearings begin tomorrow.
Lawmakers to consider 19 bills for childproofing the internet
KOSA is back, along with more than a dozen other bills that will erode free speech and privacy in the name of protecting kids.
