stages of whale fall in riso || #art #illustration #sciart
ID: risograph print illustration of the stages of whale fall, aka the stages in which a whale's corpse decays. The illustration is shapes and contained within the silhouette of an ornate, gothic cathedral window, which each stage being separated from the next by the window's vertical struts.

The top most shows the whale's tail fin alive & in motion, splash along the ocean's surface. The next panel is labeled mobile scavengers stage. The whale begins to sink, mid-sized scavengers--like small sharks and eels--bite at it's flesh and blood comes out in ribbons.

The second stage is labeled enrichment opportunist. The whale's carcass has been chewed partially open, revealing ribs. Crabs, worms, sea stars, and urchins nibble at it. As it descends, the water around it continues to grow darker.

The third stage is labeled sulfophilic stage. The whale has been chewed down to a skeleton, is covered in small crustations, and is a sulfur yellow.

The final stage is labeled reef stage. The whale is now crumbled, scattered pieces of bone. #goals /end ID

digital illustration of a blue skeleton veiled in blue water and patterned robes. A skeletal hand reaches out as if pulling the water veil aside. Golden fish swim around the skull in imitation of a halo.

bg from a comic pitch. Underwater town where they "fish" upwards for birds || #art
digital illustration of a small, lived-in room. Mismatched chairs sit at a small table, there's an unmade bed, and an old broken tv in the corner along with a line of laundry. There's an open balcony that reveals an underwater cityscape of messy stacked buildings reaching towards the water's surface. Numerous fishing lines lead upwards to the surface.

You're not far off! The "jackalope" can actually be traced back to a specific taxidermist (and his desendents are still doing it iirc), but there is a theory that the warty rabbits helped spread the myth and keep it alive this long!

did you hear about the colorado tentacle rabbits? #sciart
ID: bright yellow and pink risograph print illustration of two overlapping rabbits. The yellow rabbit has strange, horn-like growths growing out of it's face and is surrounded by overwintering coneflowers that seem dead. The rabbit sheds a single tear.

The opposite pink rabbit has scars on its face where the horns were but wide open eyes. It's surrounded by coneflowers in bloom. Text bordering the piece read: this pain is a season, it too will pass. Nature art. /end ID

Fun fact: Research done on Shope papillomavirus led to breakthroughs for the Human papillomavirus, and ultimately gave us the HPV vaccine. Thank you, rabbits (and Richard Shope)! (5/5)

Despite how damning the warts seem, most rabbits make a full recovery, and the warts fall off on their own. I found it both crazy and inspiring that there can be life on the other side of such a malady. (3/5)

Wild rabbits afflicted by the Shope Papillomavirus grow strange horn-like warts. A fall 2025 outbreak in Colorado gave us photos of rabbits with "tentacles" sprouting from their faces. (2/5)

salt air & light through canvas || #risograph #art
illustration risograph print of the shadow of a sailor behind a mast. Off to the side, the sailor's sun-reddened hand grabs a rope against a blue sky. They cast a vibrant periwinkle shadow against the white mast. The sun shines from behind them, through the mast in a burst of patterned color. The piece has an ornate border on two sides. One shows the tide coming in, the other depicts the stages of tying a bowknot. You get the feeling there's something vaguely homoerotic about all this nonsense.

This piece is an ode to the wetlands speckled around the southeastern US--a beautiful but often over-looked biome--and summer thunderstorms. Music is Tchaikovsky's 'June'.
