Saying this because my friends keep trying to work for me for free; Artists, you provide valuable service and expertise. Getting paid not only supports YOU, but reaffirms professional and monetary value for the industry as a whole. GET PAID!!!!

Some installation and fabrication images of our most recent large model - Zara the Wooly Mammoth! This model was hand sculpted from high density foam and steel, before fiberglass reinforcement and furring. This is a fully tactile model designed for photo op installation - currently at the Neville.

Paleontologists and other field scientists: have you ever been advised on best practices for taking photos, video, etc at your field sites that would be most useful for exhibits and other outreach? Is that something you'd be interested in?

A reminder to SciArt Feed 🐡 contributors: I encourage you to share your online store, commission pricing, and gallery shows. Journalists, editors, and curators: I hope you regularly browse and think about collaborations with these non-AI artists. It's tough out there, go get that cheddar. 🧀

Artists, share your Patreons, Kickstarter projects, crowdfunding, all of it. Editors, share your job postings. Ask me to become a contributor. Yes, the SciArt Feed is a gallery for people on Bluesky to find interesting, but I hope it also becomes a supportive space for these human artists.

A succinct and important message to the 2026 SVP Meeting this year! The United States has created dangerous environments for the LGBTQIA+ community, foreign travel, and Science in general. Not everyone has a safety net - Let's work to ensure that everyone has a safe way to continue participating!

It's always a pleasure to see your art pop up in unexpected places! The American Horticulture Society contacted me to use the #megalonyx illustration I created for the NPS a bit ago. Check out their article and learn about the important roles we play in seed dispersal and environmental stewardship!

Working behind the scenes on a big piece for a year now, and TWO of the 3 color palettes I'm working with have shown up on people's dinosaurs independently. I know there's only so many combos but I am afraid of looking derivative now!

Body form updated for better skeletal match, and textures started. I may swap him to a more tapir or pig-like fur texture, but I always get lost in the wrinkles...He's gonna sit here for a bit while I work on other things!

Triceratops model exploration done over the weekend. This is not based on a particular specimen. While we have some skin impressions from triceratops frills, I elected for larger scales along its surface to study different keratin textures.

Millions of years ago, California had a familiar yet alien landscape from what it sees today. This painting highlights the animals that may have passed through Death Valley long ago. This painting features as a 4ft mural hung in the Copper Canyon Visitor Center in southern Cali.

While it's easy to make friends with a passing herd, it still pays to watch for what's lurking in the shadows... This painting was commissioned by the NPS to showcase potential species that create the busy trackways from the Naturita Formation and Colorado National Monument.

The largest species of mammoth, the Columbian mammoth was one of the last large elephants to inhabit the grassland environments of North America during the Pleistocene epoch. During the same period of time, the gompothere Cuvieronius inhabitted similar environments of South America.
