st patrick's well really had to force myself to finish this one, all the while cursing my past self for thinking a huge void in the middle of the painting was a solid compositional choice

Earlier I read a description of an arch. project that said “embraces the original home’s sensitive body language” and had to laugh (cry) because why is it normal for English speakers to personify a BUILDING, or car, or call inanimate objects “she” or “her,” but animals, plants, bugs are “it?”

Thinking about native plants and native pollinators, this is an important local bee, Osmia Lignaria, known as the orchard mason bee, or blue orchard bee, in a lino block print on Japanese kozo (mulberry) paper with gorgeous, blue washi chine collé pollinating a blueberry flower. 🐡🧪 #linocut 🧵

My linocut print shows an iridescent blue and translucent white chine collé blue orchard mason bee (Osmia lignaria) hanging upside down from a white wild blueberry flower. There are five other blueberry flowers and leaves and other parts of the plant in pale green with hints of red. Printed on ivory washi paper.

The air isn’t just for insects, bats and birds - did you know there are other airborne animals? ☁️ Here are four fantastic flyers that you might not expect to see when you look to the skies…

Not thrilled to learn that a random streamer I’m watching can have this opted in and my own security/privacy account settings no longer apply in their chat 🙃 Are we supposed to ask every streamer if they remembered to opt out before chatting?

It’s my birth month, and I just have to say that getting older is 100/10. I had the best year of my life thus far. And I am so grateful for the joy, courage, curiosity, creativity, and consideration that I have been so lucky to witness in others and embody so often this year. just !!! ˗ˏˋ ughh ˎˊ˗

Photo of a sketchbook page showing ink drawings of three simple faces (just two big eyes, two dots for nostrils, and a mouth) aligned vertically; the first one wide-eyed and smiling, the second one smiling with eyes closed, and the third one eyes and mouth open with a curious expression (or at least that was what I intending 🙂).

✨ Luna moths (𝘈𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘢𝘴 𝘭𝘶𝘯𝘢) live entirely off of energy they store as caterpillars, and don’t eat as adults, only living a week or so. All giant silk wing moths lack functional mouths and have no digestive system as adults •o• Happy #mothweek ! #natureillustration #sciart #moth

A specimen illustration of a Luna moth on a medium grey background. The prominent light green wings, eyespots, wing tails, and antennae are shown in detail. The bottom right corner includes a few color swatches with “LUNA MOTH” lettered underneath.
