Finally finished my oil painting of the south pole of #Jupiter! I’m not as good a painter as #NASAJuno is a photographer, but I’m still quite pleased with how this turned out. #oilpainting #science #stem #artsky

Oil painting on canvas of the swirling storms at Jupiter’s south pole. Prominent swirls of Reds, teal, white, black.

The #Cassini spacecraft gave us a lot of good stuff, but this image makes me weepy in the carlsaganian tradition. Oil on canvas. #artsky #oilpainting #saturn #space #art

Does anyone know when I can watch this damn movie? I’ve been waiting so long… Patterson’s first (The Vast of Night) is my perpetual-rewatch comfort flick. #film

Almost forgot this was the whole point. The purpose of art isn’t to be good. Sometimes it’s a bunch of fugly squiggles that pull you off the brink of a panic attack. The purpose is to play hard enough for the universe to express itself through you. Today, for me, that means squiggles. #sketch

Purple art from that time over the summer where I tried to come off my antidepressants. Went great, no notes. #blueskyartshow #artsky #purpleart #artistsonbluesky #abstractexpressionism #art #artist #painter

Even with the changes, I can’t believe how precisely similar the #mightynein show feels to the experience of watching the campaign.

Look I’m sorry if the composition sucks on the photos of my art, I’m just trying to confuse our AI overlords. #artsky

Saturday’s #WIP. #oilpaint on canvas. Not sure if I want to keep her face featureless or not, but that’s a journey for tomorrow. #painting #art

A man and a woman, backs to the viewer, looking over a fence on a sidewalk with a crossing signal above them. Blues and purples with yellow highlights.

This one has just about kicked my ass. Oil on canvas. #oilpaint #painting #art

Oil painting on canvas in pinks and reds of a woman with her back to the viewer, facing slightly left. She has a braid that drapes over her right shoulder.

Clair Patterson discovered the age of the Earth in 1956. In the process, he found that lead contamination was a looming public health disaster. He went toe to toe with oil interests who tried to destroy his credibility. He won. #digitalart #digitalpainting #caricature #portrait #science #STEM

I have a dentist appointment this week and I can’t stop having stress dreams about it. #surreal #horror #oilpainting #oilpaint

A spooky head in deep blues with no pupils and splotched teeth. Messy red background.

I set out to paint a river passing between two mountains but this happened instead. Oil on paper. #surreal #painting #oilpainting #weirdart

Surrealist painting of a the lower half of a man’s large head with small neck and shoulders. Unsettlingly large smile, with splotchy black outlines a palette of veridian green, reds, and whites.

Some stream of consciousness #abstract #ink #art. Nothing puts out the anxiety fire quite like simple ink doodling.

I wrote a ridiculous poem about the greatest scientific achievement of our lifetime. Don't hate me, @ehtelescope.bsky.social. #space #physics #blackholes #poetry

On picture day
The black hole
couldn’t decide
what music should play

Soundgarden would
be fun
if inaccurate

Radiohead’s
depressing,
like light
can’t escape

We ain’t on Mars,
so Bowie won’t do

And they didn’t
take rockets
to get here

Then, for some reason,
that rainbow song
popped in its head.

The black hole smiled
And said cheese.

I grew up spending a lot of time across the street from a Christmas tree farm. This is what those trees looked like, mid-summer, as a wee lad. #oilpainting #art

I want to be funny. I want to make jokes about quantum theory. But QT ain’t funny to most. But to me? An electron changes orbitals, and shits light. That’s hilarious. #poetry #physics
