The Facial Expressions of Tethys by artist Julius von Bismarck. A suspended high-sea buoy that moves in real time. Sensors on a twin buoy out in the Atlantic Ocean send live satellite data to motors inside the museum. This makes the indoor buoy copy the exact, real-time movements of the ocean waves.

Some Procreate colour mock-ups! I love going from pencil sketch > digital > back to physical media. Super satisfying! I've been feeling more drawn to real life physical media in my personal work, nothing quite beats pen to paper (or brush to... weird bit of pine coaster hahha), but love having both!

Painting 4/27 - the Cornicello! This one was super fun to paint. The cornicello is an Italian amulet that is meant to protect against the evil eye and bad luck in general✨

Three of the finished coasters in the sun - love how vibrant the Nicker colours come out. And the palettes are always end up looking like a visual treat too!!

Oh I absolutely would!! The pigments are so lovely!! The only downside is they are super water reactive & once dried you've gotta be careful about any rogue bits of water, or they leave water spots (though also could be the wood material I'm painting on that's exacerbating this!)

A sad blue water spot from a tiny drip on the back of my paintbrush... Leaving it to dry without touching it didn't help, booo

Recoverin' some dried out Nicker Poster Paint today. This paint is the same one Studio Ghibli uses, and I find it similar to gouache to use. It's excellent quality, so it's very important not to let any go to waste! TBH I may add a few more drops to make the consistency even smoooother next time 👀

Three panel comic. Panel 1: a horseshoe crab watches as a variety of prehistoric creatures swim towards an ethereal light. An ammonite calls back to the crab, “come on, horseshoe crab! We’re all evolving!” Panel 2: the horseshoe crab stays in position and replies, “nahh that’s crazy” Panel 3: the horseshoe crab is superimposed in front of a future premonition: a rather miserable-looking human slouched in the glow of a desktop computer. The horshoe crab swims away and says, “good luck tho”

Coaster prepping time! The thicker pine feels so much more solid, but double layers of gesso are needed to make sure the surface is smooth and ready for painting. DELISH. Now they're prepped and ready, it's time to start painting!

Some of the icons and UI/UX I created for Wanderstop 🍵⚔️ I had a lot of fun making them, as they were more illustrative than usual icons! Each is representing a character from the game, and shows up in the dialogue UI.

If you're in #Edinburgh for all the festival stuff it is worth making time to visit the Botanic Gardens. They are lovely, of course, but the exhibition they have about our soil brings together art and science so well with something for everyone (hopefully). #art #Scotland All free too!

Art work of stones reducing in size to tiny gravel in a winding river pattern and ending in a small stone ball representing earth. All in red rock. On a white table in an exhibition room. I forgot to note the artist's name!

It has been criminally underreported but Kelsey Pfendler has just rowed solo across the Pacific Ocean from the US coast to Hawaii in record time. A 2,400-mile unsupported journey in 43 days, 17 hours, and 55 minutes. Notably beating the Men’s record by 9 whole days.
