Hopping back on the #MolluscMonday train today with a Diamond squid (Thysanoteuthis rhombus). This species is likely monogamous, a super rare trait in squids. Reference image credit: Magnus Lundgren #MolluskMonday #SquidArt #InvertArt

This is also for a Made in Your Community card, this time for Angela's sea stars! The scans you see under my art are scans she took of her animals, an amazing view to see and draw from. In collaboration with @dreamsofascientist and @angelajordanee #marinebiology #sciart #science #art #starfish

Smelt time! This piece is for the Made In Your Community project — a collaboration with @dreamsofascientist. It was created to share Z Zenobia's science (@somethingspiffy) about smelt on cards she distributed in Arcata, CA. Found one? Let us know! #smelt #ocean #science #art #marinebiology

I made this art for Haley, a deep-sea biologist—celebrating diel vertical migration! If you're in Santa Barbara, see if you can find one our cards highlighting her and her science! @dreamsofascientist #SciArt #DeepSea #DielVerticalMigration #MarineBiology #SantaBarbara #MadeInYourCommunity

Happy (or at least paused despair?) #MolluscMonday! This species shows some extreme sexual dimorphism. Not only is the gorgeous webbing (blanket) only found in females, but the males are teeny tiny. Inspired by pcaiger's Robson's blanket octopus observation on inaturalist. #MolluskMonday #sciart

I look more and more like this crab every day. Repost of a painting I did of the little baby king crab NOAA found back in January

Digital painting of a baby king crab using saturated colors - lots of oranges. Crab looks...nervous?

Happy summer solstice! Since we're celebrating the sun, it seems like a good time for an ocean sunfish! Like us, they like to bask in the sun after a cold dive to warm up ☀️ 🐟 #fishyfriday #drawntosummer25 #oceanart #solstice

I'm on PST so this still counts for #MolluscMonday, right? (right?!?) Meet the smooth giant clam (Tridacna derasa) 🐚✨ It's name is a bit misleading as it still has plenty of texture, just not quite as much as its cousin, the giant clam (T. gigas). #MolluskMonday #oceanart #artyear

Happy Friday the 13th! It's not Halloween but it is spooky so here's a painted wooly bat 🦇 ❤️ Reminder to not buy taxidermied ones online - they aren't bred in captivity so all those specimens are wild-caught. Removing that many from the population isn't sustainable. #art #bat #artoftheday #nature

Happy #MolluscMonday! Today it's Cornu aspersum, the common garden snail. Seen any near you recently? #MolluscMonday #SciArt #ArtYear #NearbyNature2025

Love seeing everyone's work on this thread! Here are some favorites from my recent series - definitely niche but depending on your project, might work. Website/portfolio: www.bridgetvincent.com/portfolio

I accidentally made this octopus riding a shark into a wildly inaccurate heatmap but this was super cool to see! Happy #MolluscMonday 🐙🦈

Digital drawing of the octopus riding on a shark, using neon colors. Looks weirdly like a very inaccurate heatmap.

The Wunderpus 🐙 (Wunderpus photogenicus) is a master of disguise - It hides in its burrow with six arms while waving the other two like venomous sea snakes 🐍 🎨 Prints available in my shop, link in bio #MolluskMonday #MolluscMonday #WildlifeIllustration #DigitalArt #ArtYear

The Mondays just seem to keep on coming, ready or not. This week was a busy one but #MolluskMonday has arrived! Here's a quick sketch of a Caribbean reef squid (Sepioteuthis lessoniana). If you're lucky enough to see these in the wild, they'll likely be in a small shoal. #artyear #molluscmonday

A bioluminescent octopus (one of the very few) for this #MolluscMonday! Stauroteuthis syrtensis, the glowing sucker octopus, has modified sucker cells that produce light. #sciart #artyear #molluskmonday #bioluminescence

Happy #molluscmonday! May I present a showstopping cephalopod, the flaboyant cuttlefish. Instead of swimming away when threatened, this species makes undulating bands of color. These shocking hues act as an alarm when predators come around. #molluskmonday #artyear #nature #sciart #februarty

TIL flapjack octopuses don't have ink sacs or radulas. They eat little worms and inverts thru find after stirring up sediment. Opisthoteuthis sp. Requested by @invertebabe.bsky.social #molluscmonday #molluskmonday #sciart #deepsea

Starting off @sarahmackattack.bsky.social's #NearbyNature2025 with the Garibaldi, California's state marine fish! I've seen these guys around the #channelislands and just learned the males create circular nests and fiercely guard their eggs. #fishyfriday

A blue dragon sea slug (or Glaucus nudibranch) for this week’s #MolluscMonday requested by @roxanadaneshjou.bsky.social I was lucky enough to find several of these during fieldwork last year - we were both looking for cnidarians! #molluskmonday #artyear #sciart #nature #digitalart

West Indian Manatee One of my favorites - I'm always grateful to see these guys. ❤️ However, they're still threatened, and their main dangers are boat collisions and cold stress. If you're in a place with manatees, pay attention to the no wake zones #artyear #floridawildlife

What to do on a stressful day? Maybe draw a neon version of the little baby king crab 🦀 #sciart #neonart #artyear

Today's #molluscmonday : a glass squid (Megalocranchia fisheri)! I know it looks blue here but these guys are almost completely transparent except for their chromatophores (the little orange spots). Reference photo from Steven Kovacs #molluskmonday #deepseacreatures #squidart #digitalart

I'm considering restarting my old habit of doing a #MolluscMonday drawing every week to keep my art skills from atrophying while I write. Help me out by telling me what molluscs I should look into! It can be your favorite one, a weird one, a pretty one, an ugly one, whatever! Squid here, just bc
