Day 30! - #carbon Double duty! It’s also #BirdWhisperer Project posting day. Black Woodpecker (Dryocopus martius). Found in mature forests across Europe and parts of Asia. The deep black was a challenge, but it fit the carbon theme nicely. #SciArtSeptember #birdart #watercolor

Watercolor illustration of a crow-sized black woodpecker. Facing right and clinging to a tree trunk in front of a large nest cavity. The bird has a red cap and a powerful ivory-colored bill.

I’m #TeamQuartz in #MinCup26 but today’s #sciArtSeptember prompt carbon lines up with graphite, so I am sharing my #linocut of Millie Dresselhaus (née Spiewak; 1930 – 2017). She was a professor of physics & electrical engineering at MIT, known as the Queen of Carbon Science. In this linocut I’ve

Somehow it’s already #SciArtSeptember Day 30 Carbon. To wrap things up I drew a peat bog, as these bogs are a major carbon sink. www.unep.org/news-and-sto...

Colored pencil drawing of a peat bog. There’s an area of standing water surrounded by dark rich soil on either side with some pine trees in the back. The ground is populated by little mounds of plant matter that rather look like little haystacks.

An Abyssinian roller that is also a little book. It begins: “Why is a roller like a writing desk? The need for fire and acacia, both. One for blood - the other, ink.” Written in India ink. - #SciArtSeptember Day 30: Carbon

A painted, cut-out paper bird in the shape of an Abyssinian roller. The bird has one wing folded back, which reveals a small booklet of pages under the wing. The underwing is brown and has uneven letters painted on it in another shade of brown reading, “Some small words about the medium of carbon.” The booklet pages are bright blue, like the bird, and the words inside are unclear. The bird rests on a wooden table top.

#SciArtSeptember Day 26 Cedar is, well, cedar. At the Coregonid Symposium this past week we experienced a welcome ceremony by an elder from the Saugeen-Ojibway Nation which involved cedar.

Day 28 of #SciArtSeptember prompt is linen. It’s not a material I typically work with (even when printing on textiles) but you can find my #sciart printed on linen in my minouette Spoonflower shop including tea towels (cotton/linen blend) with my ‘Mmm… coffee’ linocut featuring a caffeine molecule!

My ‘Mmm … coffee’ linocut printed on a tea towel shot on a white background. The illustration shows a mug viewed from above and off to the side with shadow and swirling aroma lines in which appears a caffeine molecule. At the top (at the edge of the swirling aroma lines) is written “Mmm” and at the bottom “COFFEE”. The print was made in dark brown on beige.

On the left, a colored pencil drawing head on of an american mink. It’s a dark brown ferret shaped guy with white splotches on the chest. Mine looks like a cat but it’s fine. On the right is an ink drawing of a side view of the same mink. She is a long long gal. Very noodle shaped.

A tiny shadowbox about animals with blue blood. In these animals, oxygen binds to copper-based molecules, not iron. The turquoise beads also get their blue colour from copper. - #SciArtSeptember Day 23: Copper

A small, shallow box containing copper foil art of a horseshoe crab, an octopus, and a cuttlefish. The foil art is mounted on blue fabric. Around the foil animals are eight blue beads.

Chambered nautilus study

Photo of a painting of a chambered nautilus in green-blue water. The nautilus is dark red, pale orange and white with blue shadows. The shell is striped, counter shaded so it's darker on top and lighter on the bottom. The painting rests on a wood table, and a paintbrush is visible in the upper left corner.

For Day 29 of #SciArtSeptember #Pelt I took some liberties and went with a baby California kingsnake—Lampropeltis californiae. "Lampropeltis" apparently means "shiny shield": λαμπρός (shiny) and πέλτη (shield), "in reference to their smooth, enamel-like dorsal scales." 🐡🦑🧪 (One more day to go!)
