Playing with this wavy spiral pattern and some warmer colors. Wow! I did not expect it to turn out so well. Yep, I did some on watercolor paper too. These might make it into my shop.
Here's an in-progress shot.

In my Tucson, AZ yard I’ve had 6 Queen Butterfly larvae pupate & eclose as butterflies in the past month! Here’s my Perpetual Journal art of a Queen chrysalis, Northern Cardinal & Brittlebush.
Happy birthday to #geochemist Charles David Keeling (1928 - 2005) whose decades long observations of CO2 in air samples from Mauna Loa Observatory were some of the 1st direct data to show the human contribution to greenhouse effect & global warming. The ‘Keeling Curve’ (in copper & red) shows both the seasonal variations (the wiggles) & the strong upward trend with time as the greenhouse gas built up in the atmosphere.
Still working on pictures to add to the map of life. I've looked at what I have available currently, and there are over 200 organisms drawn. They aren't all good enough to be used, but it may be a while before this critter is appearing on the map.

Was talking to someone who teaches about horse anatomy, and they mentioned wanting a hyoid that was flexible (most models of it are rigid). I figured that might be a good model to practice 3d printing with both flex and rigid materials.
Turned out pretty neat!

Here's a study of the (probably) arboreal Suminia, commissioned in 2022 for a project I cannot talk about yet. It is a small therapsid, which I chose to make hairy but it might not have been.
Some of my sci-fi art.
Boarder Patrol.
Enjoy.
A 3d model of a near future ship I made.

The 2022 Korean translation of Locked in Time (by Dr Dean Lomax & published by Columbia University Press) commissioned me to colourise my 50 greyscale illustrations. "We Follow" shows a chain of migrating Ampyx trilobites.
SETI Institute in the News: March Roundup
https://www.seti.org/seti-institute-news-march-roundup
This month, the SETI Institute announced exciting news about research and innovations that expand our understanding of the universe and bring us closer to answering one of humanity’s most enduring questions: Are we alone?
This project combines two aspects of illustration that I particularly enjoy: the anatomical reconstruction of an extinct species, and traditional printing techniques. The main illustration is in lithography, the pictograms in silkscreen and the typography in lead.
