(1/2) I bought a teeny tiny watercolor palette & filled it with 6 colors (CMYK + one extra color) from which I can create millions of colors! Here’s my palette in hand. You can read more on my latest blog post
I’ve taken my frog crab (Ranina ranina) linocut and made a repeat pattern. You can find it in the minouette Spoonflower shop, so you can get frog crab fabric, wallpaper and more. Plus I entered it in today’s challenge: Crustacean Core!
Dive into creativity with this quick graphite sketch of a great white shark using my Pentel Graphgear 1000. Great whites can hit speeds of 35 mph and maintain warmer body temps than their surroundings. What inspires your art today? 🦈✏️🌊 #sciart
We are still in 2004. Here is a coloured sketch of a megaraptorid walking into the ribcage of an eaten titanosaur. The predator is reflected in a pond of blood. Oh, and I know the sickle-claw shouldn't be there (I was making quite a few mistakes back in 2004).
Happy birthday to #neurologist Santiago Ramón y Cajal (1852 - 1934), here in front of Purkinje and granule cells from a pigeon, based on one of his own drawings! Cajal &Golgi won the Nobel in 1906, "in recognition of their work on the structure of the nervous system". He was as much of an artist as he was a scientist & his 100s of drawings are still used for teaching purposes.

Venturing from animals to the human form with ‘Skull Study’—a detour, not a departure. Sketched with Pentel Graphgear pencils, softened by a blender, textured with Blu-tack. A curious exploration in graphite. #sciart
Playing with inspiration from a fading flower. Turning my observation into an abstraction and then thinking abut how these patterns might fit into a diagram structure.
