Oakey the beaver is out of the mold and headed to the river to build endless dams! I sculpted her from polymer clay, cast her in resin, then painted her with acrylics. #art #beaver #sciart #sculpting #figurine #sculpture #wildlifeart #Sciart🐡 #woodlandcreatures #conservation

I saw a bunch of aphids on a tree today, all gathered on one specific sprig. When I stopped to check it out, I also saw little black ants tending to them. I had heard about ants keeping aphid herds on nature shows and such, but ive never actually SEEN it. So I drew this haha 😅 #ants #aphids #sciart

Did a sketch but couldn't be bothered to flesh it out. Happy world firefly day/weekend, regardless. May your butts be the light in these dark times.

Sold! My piece "Life Plate" (bronze trilobites and Devonian rock) is off to its forever home, thanks to @roqlarue.bsky.social. The group show "Prehistoric" just closed (www.roqlarue.com/the-prehisto...); more to come. #sciart

Four bronze Eldregeops rana trilobites in various positions (curled up, struggling to flip over, and climbing over each other) on a flattish chunk of gray rock. My piece "Life Plate"; the rock is Devonian and contains fossils of this very species. The title is a play on the term "death plate," a flat rock covered with many (dead) fossils.

I like how the inking of this diving beetle looks a bit painterly. This is a hand-printed of the Paroster pallescens beetle, surface diving water beetle from Australia. It is printed on 8” x 8” Japanese paper. Paroster is a genus of beetles in the family Dytiscidae. #linocut #printmaking #sciart

My linocut print “Diving Beetle Paroster pallescens” shows the beetle viewed from above on an 8” x 8” white Japanese washi paper. It’s an oblong beetle with pale yellow limbs and antennae, black eyes, and a muddy green elytra. The most striking feature is the long hairs radiating out from the back legs like extravagant eyelashes.

The flamboyant cuttlefish often produces bright colors to stand out. It has a relatively small cuttlebone, so it's usually found strutting its stuff on the sea floor. #flamboyantcuttlefish #cephalopod #fabulous #pride #SciArt

Coyotes are well distributed around North America, from Costa Rica to Alaska. They typically don’t spend time in large groups except in areas where large prey (such as moose, deer) are available. #figurine #sciart🐡 #polymerclayartist #natureart #scienceillustration

Endangered Mountain yellow-legged frogs! They are native to California and are commonly found in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Their Latin name muscosa means “full of moss.” They also emit a defensive odor reminiscent of garlic. #figurine #sciart🐡 #polymerclayartist #natureart #scienceillustration
