White Lotus, mixed media (the series’s locations and visual eye Canada) inspired a story.

The messy, middle stage where the ideas and colours come together.

June is a busy month for me. I put social media aside to get into my right brain mode and push boundaries. The tiger is just the spirit animal to challenge me to grow. #mixedmedia #wildlifeart #surreal #abstractrealism #tiger #animalpainting #canadianartist #cdnartshow #animalart #artshare

The drawing depicts a peacock mantis shrimp, a small rainbow shrimp who dwells on the sea floor. The back of the crustacean is shades or green while the legs are red. The body is blue and the eyes are purple. Facts: The Mantis Shrimp is one of the coolest organisms on earth IMO! There’s too many cool things about them, I can’t pick a favorite fact! They are believed to have the most complex eyes in the animal kingdom! While we humans posses 3 photoreceptors, mantis shrimps can have anywhere from 11 to 16! This means they can see colors we can’t even comprehend as well as UV light and even cancer! Despite their name, the Mantis shrimp is neither shrimp nor mantis! Rather than a true shrimp, they are in a separate class of crustaceans and are more closely related to crabs. The mantis part relates to their raptorial forelimbs that they use kill prey and repel predators. Other names include ‘pistol shrimp’ because it recalls the way they hunt. They punch their prey at the force of over a .22 caliber bullet. Its fascinatingly quick, about 8 milliseconds (50x faster than blinking). The punch is equivalent to around 1,500 newtons (on average, humans punch about 250-450 newtons) and can shatter thick aquarium glass—and yes they can injure a human! Did I mention they’re only about 10cm to 18cm or about 4 to 7 inches long?

The mantis shrimp is one of the most fascinating animals on earth imo! They can punch at the force of a .22 caliber and 1500+ (N)ewtons. Humans can usually punch abt 300N. facts in the alt description

Escapism

I live in my dreams too much. Because they are better than reality. I need only my brain to escape: not body, not eyes, not ears - only brain. But I can feel how escapism is slowly ruining it.

A bird I did about five years ago. So far I’m pleased with how drawings post on Bluesky, I think I’ll stick around and spam more mess.

Print looking up at bird in flight, in silhouette, in a space in the canopy of treetops

'Breathing Space', etching by contemporary artist and printmaker  Janis Goodman

If it’s possible, I’d like to be able to separate traditional and even digital artwork from photography. No hate if that’s your thing, but if I type ‘black and white art’ I’m looking for artwork, no photographs

Black and white artwork, bisected diagonally across the page. On one side, there’s an astronaut exploring space with a 3 planets in the background and a shooting star. Mirroring the same pose, on the bottom is a diver wearing an antique diving suit with 3 sea creatures in the background as well as another creature: an eel. Both backgrounds are black with white diamond stars or bubbles. The top half and bottom half mirror each other down to the positions of the background.

Brand new #spaceart and #oceanart I made recently! I’m feeling accomplished since it’s been so long since I created more than just a doodle. Definitely miss it! I posted it twice so you don’t have to flip your phone if you’re lazy like me :D

This was my first big #graphiteonpaper project, I call it ‘Extinction (2019)’ It was the first time I felt like a real artist but later I realized that if you create anything with your hands (#noai), you ARE a REAL ARTIST.

Your work is ASTOUNDING 😱 I love the moth one especially!! ❤️❤️

Love that first one 👌🏻

I'm Laura and I like to flit between too many media and subjects, though I often lean towards fantasy, horror and sci-fi genre.

Now I've come to tag my minds went blank 😅 so I'll add some later.

Hi I'm Kelly. I'm an oil painter mainly and I dabble in illustration. Here are my 4 favourite paintings from over the years.
These artists are also amazing:

Self initiated project illustrating one of the most common vectors of malaria in Africa. I love the change between unfed and fed mosquitoes. Amazing.

A digital sketch of a sparkly-eyed stick bug, their spindly, spiny limbs outstretched as they slowly but surely creep along. They're orange-brown, with highlights of yellow and green in places. Their abdomen is segmented, textured like a rough branch, and their thin green antennae are outstretched curiously in front of them.

I love stick bugs!! 💜💜💜
This is today's #Scisketch #10! Sketched in 10 minutes.

I always found these buggies fascinating. I've never seen one where I live right now, but as a kid, I'd often hold them and admire the way they moved.
