One thing that continues to give me hope about the future is seeing all the amazing scientists and educators out there continuing to show up and do the work, despite all the challenges of the present moment. I made a little #comic about a live science event for kids I got to participate in yesterday

Still experimenting with the art style for my Titanic #history project. What do you think? This portrait is of Titanic passenger Harry Anderson. Anderson was a stockbroker from Manhattan. He boarded Lifeboat 3, and survived the sinking. More on Anderson and other passengers at www.titanic-tales.com

Mini #art gallery I created. It was fun and challenging to work at such a tiny scale. Sometimes I had to take a break because my hand would start to shake. I painted tiny versions of classic paintings. Inspired by a tutorial created by Leapling Studios. More photos below. My fav is the Matisse.

Happy Winter Solstice. Egret on Snowy Branch. Ink, 64 × 89 mm, 2014. Inspired by Ohara Koson.

Ink drawing of an egret standing with one leg raised on a snowy branch against a night sky with gently falling snow. The piece is characterised by simple, clean linework and strong contrasts of black and white and is reminiscent of Japanese woodblock prints.
