In 1861, Monet served in Algeria, where he was dazzled by North Africa’s blazing light. ☀️

He later said the “richness of color” shaped everything he painted afterward.

Historical illustration showing two animals labeled "Elephant" and "Rhinoceros." The upper image depicts an elephant with exaggerated and stylized features: a small head compared to its body, short legs, and a trunk that curls unnaturally with two tusks. The elephant's skin is textured with fine crosshatching and a reddish-brown color. Below, a rhinoceros is shown with heavily armored, segmented skin resembling plates or scales, short legs, one horn on its snout, and small ears. Both animals stand on grassy patches with minimal background. The style reflects 18th-century natural history imagery with artistic rather than realistic animal depictions.

An array of 9 purple discs on a blue background. Figure from Hinnerk Schulz-Hildebrandt.

A nice shift in perceived colour between central and peripheral vision. The fixated disc looks purple while the others look blue.

The effect presumably comes from the absence of S-cones in the fovea.

Here's a T. Rex bored to death trying to bite their own tail. My partner asked me to animate it in stop motion, after she watched a video about the very important topic of "could T. Rex chew its own tail like a dog". The puppet is still a work in progress 🦖

I had never been in a general meeting before and didn’t quite understand what it was, but I knew the fact that it only lasted 5 minutes was a clear sign it did not go well. The exec later told my agent, “Nate was shy bordering on terrified.”

Here’s a 🧵 on generals and how to turn them into jobs.

Original seascape oil painting by Tisha Mark, "Sunset on Opening Day" 20"x20" oil on linen (2024). A seascape painting with dramatic blue clouds in orange-toned sunset sky over a rocky seashore. Flecks of orange light appear in the sky, and colors from the sky are reflecting in water below.

Inspired by a stunning sunset on the evening of my son's first baseball game of the season last year, and painted from memory and imagination in my studio.

Original seascape oil painting by Tisha Mark, "Lighting the Dark" 20"x20" oil on linen (2025). This moody, abstract-leaning seascape painting has a textured, orange-toned, atmospheric sky with textured colors of light on the horizon. Light from the sky reflects in the water below as it meets a dark, rocky, tree-lined coast.

This is the first completed piece in a new series that I'm painting. I'll be releasing new work from this series around the 2025 winter solstice.

Illustration of two narwhals, also called sea unicorns, depicted lying on an icy shore with a backdrop of snow-covered mountains. Both whales have long, spiral tusks extending from their heads, and their bodies are covered in spots. Small seabirds are flying nearby. The image is a detailed 1843 engraving, labeled "THE NARWHAL OR SEA UNICORN," highlighting the narwhal’s distinctive single tusk that inspired its nickname.
