This is a fun redraw of a piece I made back in 2008. I didn't think about how much fun it is to retool panel layout!

A nice watercolor and colored pencil giant african snail (Achatina) with a feather-tailed centipede (Alipes). Building up color this way takes a lot of patience that is not always in reach for me! Do you like playing with gutters in sketchbooks? I love a full page spread but it's hard!

I am forever amazed by colors in the natural world. Gecarcinus quadratus (the Halloween crab, among many many other common names) is absolutely stunning. What's your favorite crab?

Caprellidae (skeleton shrimp) are some of my favorite organisms to watch!

A fun request that let me flex a little local fauna! Formica exsectoides was the field ant of choice for this project. Neohelix albolabris (Eastern whitelip) is probably the largest land snail we have up here in New England. A queen in battle needs her battle armor!

Summer solstice hit last month, so I have my second snake piece for 2025. This time featuring Erpeton tentaculatum, the tentacled snake. I couldn't quite make out their facial details, but friends over in Herpetology let me come check out a couple specimens in the collection!

A new pink monster piece, to be friends with a blue monster i drew years ago. I can't decide if green or red will be the next color. What do you think? This is one of the pieces I'm bringing to Somerville Open Studios this weekend. I'll be at the Armory, 191 Highland Ave from 12-6pm Sat and Sun!

Illustration of a pink creature with puffs of yellow fluff reaching towards the viewer. The creature has multiple eyes and long antennae. The figure is on a gray black and white swirling background.

A collection of swirling lines and petals made of a variety of colorful art pieces. Text reads: "Flourish, SOS, 2025. Citywide, May 3+4, 12-6pm. Somervilleopenstudios.org."
