Locked in yesterday and finished the painting part of my leafhopper comic. Next…to outline these all in ink, and then add lots of text in illustrator! I managed to ruin my big guy on the left with wet hair but luckily I’d already scanned him in!

@entsocamerica.bsky.social using AI generated images in its award presentations at the Eastern Branch is really, really embarrassing, especially for a society that focuses on scicomm and science illustration through conference workshops. Really making me reconsider renewing my membership this year.

Welcome to the singular best thing I’ve ever painted and also why do I stop painting for months at a time??

it’s nice to do something that AI can’t. if you’re feeling hopeless moving into the new year, pick up a hobby that has you working with your hands ❤️

Ooooh a Jerusalem cricket would rock! Right now I’m looking at doing some “columns” of cacti with room for organisms in between…and letting people pick their organisms. This is the loose concept, so I’ll definitely be playing around with what I can add in

Sigh. The process of sweater design. Back to the drawing board on my western style. Thinking of adding ecological processes around the bottom. And maybe saguaros and woodpeckers on the sleeves? Lots of different directions to go in; too much inspiration in the desert. Any suggestions?

sticks&leaves vest; nice pattern to chew on during seminars, excited to finish it…which I’ll do once my extra skein of yarn arrives 😂

Ok! I’m back! With a 1st place at the EnSoc Juried Art Exhibit, a yarn sponsorship for a sweater focused on desert ecology, my first year of the AZ insect fest under my belt, and stippling skills (in progress). happy to see everyone.
