Geology Johnson

Hey! I'm available for commissions and lo-fi projects - got a game, RPG or other that needs artwork that doesn't need that AAA shine? I can be that guy!

Even more excited — our paper is featured on the cover of Science Advances!

Huge thanks to @alexandrejan.bsky.social who took this incredible photo of a ctenophore (aka comb jelly) and the editors.

Here’s the cover 👇

PS. Hate the extremely basic Polish flag

I'm really looking forward to our Friends of UMMP meeting this Friday. I haven't been to a meeting since October for various reasons.

Here's a before and after of a nice Eldredgeops from the Devonian Silica Shale of Ohio. I found and prepped this specimen.

Canny auld them osteicthyans, like. Nice work. Also, Megamastax totally sounds like the name of a transformer.

So I recently did a radio interview with Super Talk Mississippi Media about Paleontology and the Fossil Road Show that is coming up this weekend on March 7th. It was a fun time getting to chat with Rebecca.

This is a neat idea and I've been meaning to try something like this for ages.

This image is a painting titled Launching the Lifeboat, created in 1881 by the British artist Robert Ernest Roe. The scene depicts a dramatic sea rescue during a storm on the North Yorkshire coast, at Scarborough. It shows a lifeboat being launched by a crowd of people into rough, crashing waves to assist a sailing vessel in distress nearby. The painting captures the intense atmosphere of Victorian-era coastal rescue attempt.

Launching the Lifeboat Robert Ernest Roe (1851–1930) Scarborough Art Gallery. The Royal National Lifeboat Institution formed OTD in 1824 was to be a universal service where "the subjects of all nations be equally objects of the Institution, as well in war as in peace” a mission it follows still.

Wait... learning in protists!?

Very cool, thought it was a photo of models!

How curious! inverts with internal skeletons! ;)

Very nice work. Is this blender?

"While you were partying at Maccadams, I was practicing the blade..."

this is pretty rad. Nice work.

digital pencil line drawings of the transformers character Skullgrin in his robot and flying space tank modes. His pretender shell looms in the background with it's spikey shoulders and horned goat head.

Pencils looking ok. Space tank is a placeholder. I like the legacy version alt mode so I want to incorporate more of that design too. For the normies, Skullgrin is a "Pretender", a cybertronian with a biomechanical exoskeleton. #Transformers #Skullgrin #Decepticon #Maccadam

blue pencil line drawing of the transformers character Skull grin based on the recent Legacy figure.

I'm trying to draw #Skullgrin from #Transformers, but he keeps ending up like a weird Mickey mouse, rather than a brutal and menacing goat lord. :( #Maccadam

Fuck Harry Potter

Go watch Transformers!

This looks very relaxing.

What a lad. I know it's not show accurate but he still looks cool.

For sure. You can't heal and move on if you're in a state of perpetual smouldering anger.

Screencap of text chat with messages reading "hello from DC" and "Do you know all flights into DC are one way? You have to fly into AC for round-trips"

New corny joke just dropped thanks to my partner's layover:

Behold! Spongewave! I like the alt mode but the robot is not doing it for me. The silhouette is weak, it's too Bayverse greebly, and the design is not pushed enough. #TransformersPrimordial #Transformers #Soundwave #Maccadam

I think my name and Bsky handle is probs best. Thanks!

Digital colour sketch of a robotic version of a chain-like diatom micro eukaryote and the same diatom in a humanoid robotic form.

I'm happy for you to share it. But use this higher res version. The previous one is a screencap of a screencap. 😅

Digital painting of a blue, grey and gold decepticon transformer in a beast mode based on extinct glass sponges

No prizes for guessing which #Transformer this is disguised as a #hexactinelid #sponge.This beast mode is a hybrid of the extinct sponges Hydnoceras sp and Helicolocellus sp from the devonian and ediacaran respectively. #TransformersPrimordial #Maccadam #Maccadams

Thanks, glad you like it!
