I know we've been eagerly waiting for some happy news to come out of the #LAMPLab but in the meantime, here is a baby gar for #SundayFishSketch! (Thanks to #GarLab for the reference gar!) (Also, first fish in the new sketchbook!) 🦑🐡🧪

I've just dropped the price on these because literally zero orders is usually a bad sign 😅 canopyrobin.etsy.com

Just added a couple of limited edition stickers at canopyrobin.etsy.com! They're an A6 trans flag and trans dropout loopdeloop.

Unlike my normal easy-peel stickers, these are an eggshell design with extra-strong adhesive, so they'll break at the edges if tampered with and become very hard to remove

the dropout game changer loop de loop symbol as a sticker in the trans flag colours, with text that says we've been here the whole time. The design is broken down one edge where someone has tried to remove it

Outrageous! The moon rotation in this shot of
The Lion King remake implies it was shot far into the northern hemisphere. What happened to realism? Literally unwatchable.

Screenshot of shot with the full moon rising in front of Simba, Timon, and Pumbaa. Below are three moon diagrams showing the proper orientation of the moon from the northern hemisphere, equator (Kenya) and southern hemisphere. The moon from the film is aligned to the northern hemisphere version because realism means nothing any longer.

This was supposed to be the #SundayFishSketch ...
The bumby snailfish is refusing to get painted at the moment :/ ... I may return to it later or try again.

pencil stump for size reference
It looks like a pjnk bumpy blob withe spiky fins

Sometimes the prompts are unexpectedly compatible. I'd never realized before that lobsters, spacecraft, and deer ALL have antennae! #Inktober #invertober2025 #SpacetoberChallenge

Black pen on paper drawing of a deer and a lobster riding in the dish of the Voyager spacecraft. The lobster's antennae are tangled with the antlers of the deer, who looks disgruntled.

i didn't find my Kelly Gruber baseball card but look what i DID find in my Card File of Wonders (the card file is itself made of cardboard, and is falling apart) : a ~31 year old #SundayFishSketch, a mini-sculpture based on a Frank Stick painting

Having a little chat with my past self right now

A relief sculpture in painted, varnished polymer clay of a leaping tarpon, a large, silvery herringlike gamefish. it is mounted on a small (approx. 4" x 5") chunk of white illustration board, & labeled in fading black ink: Tarpon / Megalops atlantica. Signed with my initials "KG 94" in lower left corner

For #SundayFishSketch this week, an in-progress Coregonus kiyi. I’m working on an activity for the general public on why we use genetics to distinguish between species, and my current study system of ciscoes is more than a little notorious for being hard to morphologically ID reliably

Anyone here currently doing invasive fish work in NC, particularly in central NC? I’ve got some people that caught an Amazon red-tailed catfish and have it alive in a tank. If I was still in that area, I’d be right over there, but alas, I’m not
