The Introvertebrates

the color combinations are becoming more unhinged as my watercolor pens die, but then again who can prove t-rexes were not dark purple!?

Might finish one more as our stall example of the coloring book for @dinoconuk.bsky.social, but this could all be you with your own color combos!

so we ordered this poor lad and the Christmas ammonites as sparkly tree decorations and they still haven't arrived... they better make it on time for @dinoconuk.bsky.social !!

boooo... well maybe one day the US tariff system will make sense and we can branch out there...

we already lost the EU because of brexit and more weird paperworks... then this for the US 😩

hi Kelly, thank you! are you UK or US based? at the moment we can only send stuff within the UK because being a two person business we have NO clue how any of the US tariffs are working... don't think the bigger businesses understand either but they can pay someone to understand for them maybe

we also have matching night sky triceratopses ready for Exeter ✨🔭

coming to the next event in max #SciArt bling 💎

drawing of a yellow brontosaurus with orange spots, very angry, with a brush and paint bucket, scratching an AI sign with red paint, text below says "NO GenAI images, all human made!".

I originally just made this goober for our table at the Lyme Regis #FossilFestival (possibly also to be used at @dinoconuk.bsky.social), but wondering if you dinosaur nerds would want it in sticker form? Esp with how bad the situation has been in paleoart lately...

#SciArt #paleoart #NoAI

What if... weevil with and weevil apprentice charms?

#TheIntrovertebrates #invertebrates #SciArt

two wooden earrings resting on my palm, they have silver hoop attachments, the design is a semi-realistic drawing of an Anopheles mosquito, fuzzy wings with black dots, and a very red abdomen full of blood, with a blood droplet at the end (mosquitoes "pee" the blood out so they don't overheat)

bling for that bloodsucker in your life 🦟🩸

(trying out some #SciArt designs for #TheIntrovertebrates Etsy shop)

#TheIntrovertebrates are ready for next week's #LymeRegidFossilFestival hope you will enjoy our #SciArt wares!

hmmm which one do we pin-ify next!!

also have a variety of light wooden pins, and they are looking so nice (not that the metals weren't nice, but we are a bit obsessed with wood now)

"con table setup is my passion"

*slaps a grandma squared tablecloth on it*

we had so many positive feedback on it at #LymeRegis #FossilFestival, hope the people that bought the stickers are spreading the good word on their laptops or water bottles!

They sold me with their 'No AI' sign. 🙂

I think we got everything restocks, now just trying to figure out our table after seeing how others were so much better at setups at Lyme Regis lol

we will even have A TABLE CLOTH! (aka a curtain we are repurposing)

and definitely not repurposed plant shelves

clearly need to partner with some garden centers lol 🌱🐝

we are @fionatel.bsky.social and @petrathepostdoc.bsky.social, a duo of geneticists from Cambridge (the UK one) that loves to do science arts and crafts, so we decided to open our own little business at the intersection of genetics, paleontology, gardening and more!

we have restocked our t-shirt collection from the #LymeRegis #FossilFestival and got a few new designs ready for @dinoconuk.bsky.social! 👕

we don't rely on our shop as we are both actually working scientists, but we did our first festival booth this year and doing another in 3 weeks, it is a good way to meet really nice people outside of our usual circle of academics

we are a duo with a tiny science arts and crafts Etsy shop, currently working on a series of cat (ok and dog) scientist keychains and stickers! 🧪🐈
