Yeah I don’t sell this so I don’t really care about typos as long as it’s not misinformation.

A neon colored squid on the phone, drawn in cartoon style, glued to a wall, that says Get Squid Facts text SQUID to 1-833-SCI-TEXT
a very cute cuttlefish, a giant australian cuttelfish, looks at the camera, swimming in front of algae covered rocks
a poster that says Plant Native Plants, with an illustration by meg lemieur of purple coneflower, with a bunch of clips with seed bags attached on the bottom labeled "take one and plant"
Sarah holds up a zine that says Philly Biopdiversity Zine in front of a little free library covered in squid, painted blue and pink, shoved in some planters. The zine has a raccoon skateboarding in crocs in front of the love statue (philly icon) with a pigeon sitting on the sign, with the art museum in the background
Back to book pitching, so here I am caring about the # of followers I have 🤦♀️
HELLO! I'm a 🦑 scientist on a mission to get people to take action to protect earth's biodiversity.
Alongside others, I use street art, zines, photography, collabs, & more to encourage action.

A bearded man wearing a navy blue pullover that has teal leafhoppers knitted in a fair-isle pattern on the yoke and sleeves. He is posing with two leashed dogs (one large and yellowish, one smaller and cream with reddish spots) in front of a harbour with fishing boats and colourful buildings in the background.

Locked in yesterday and finished the painting part of my leafhopper comic. Next…to outline these all in ink, and then add lots of text in illustrator! I managed to ruin my big guy on the left with wet hair but luckily I’d already scanned him in!

@entsocamerica.bsky.social using AI generated images in its award presentations at the Eastern Branch is really, really embarrassing, especially for a society that focuses on scicomm and science illustration through conference workshops. Really making me reconsider renewing my membership this year.

I would never use AI to create art because I hold myself to this really high standard of not doing things that Elon Musk would approve of and taking a cowardly shortcut to a meaningless end, yet still expecting people to be impressed…yeah. sounds like something Elon Musk would be all about.
