One of those transgenders infiltrating your restrooms. I make art for field biologists, birders, nerds, and other forest dwellers and cryptids. Mostly focusing on the ecosystems within NY state.

A common name in field guides that's even better: SHAUN the sheep nudibranch. Also it is extremely tiny, under 1cm

Super fun painting from last year featuring 4 types of cuttlefish (and 5 types of crabs, I can't escape them they're too fun to draw)

Having a lot of impostor syndrome today, so I made a goldeneye sketch trying to focus on accuracy- it didn't help like I hoped it would, but here it is anyway

@abiggaymarket.bsky.social in a repurposed Victorian era church will forever be my favorite aesthetic. I got an amazing wood block print trade, and some stickers for my derby helmet. I fucking love Troy and this community SO MUCH

Crab Memes Amplify Mistaken Ideas about Evolution Memes about repeated evolution of crabs have been co-opted to joke about technology and β€œultimate forms.” They’re hilarious, but they oversimplify natural variation, giving bad arguments a scientific ...

New writing! For @sciam.bsky.social, I talk about misleading memes.

If you understand evolution enough to know this already, great! But memes/youtubes/etc reach folks with no biology background. Science has been twisted to justify bad things, such as eugenics, before. NOT IN CRABS' NAME.

Bats! NY has both tree bats (up top) which migrate south for the winter, and cave bats (bottom) that hibernate during the winters. All NY bats are insectivorous πŸ›πŸ¦‡

I hate taking rest days and I hate even more that they actually work and I can get things done the next day.

On a related note- line art for Herons of NY is done! Now to start the color...

These are some of the owls in NYS. There are more, so I am hoping to make a sequel painting at some point.
