Hello #PortfolioDay ! I’m a botanical illustrator working in traditional mediums and sometimes digital. These examples are watercolor and ink.
🌱 #SciArt

Watercolor painting of 3 vertically stacked succulents as viewed from above. The top one is a dark green, chunky rosette with burgundy edging and a satin-silvery sheen. The middle succulent is a bright yellow-green rosette with shiny, little leaves and a pup growing out to the left. The bottom one is lime green and rusty red with elongated chunky leaves.

A vertically stacked ink drawing representing the parts of a Bur Oak tree. The ink work is a combination of stipple, hatching, and line. From bottom to top, the parts are: Bark, twig, leaf, catkin, flower, and acorn (which is very hairy looking).

Ink drawing of a very lumpy pumpkin. The ink work is mostly stipple with some line and hatching. The pumpkin is turned on it’s side so the stem is pointed towards the viewer and slightly up to the right. This thing is seriously crazy lumpy.

Image of a watercolor painting in front of it’s subject, a lumpy gourd. The gourd is lying down horizontally and has a bottle-like shape with a curved neck. It is mostly a creamy yellow color with dark green stripes running top to bottom. There’s a good amount of lumps and scuffs/scars.

Truth be told, I needed a few reminders before I finally went and re-upped my bog residency. So thanks!

so many of the small indignities of daily life come from us being denied the ability to tell a rich man in a tech company to fuck off. minesweeper has microtransactions. paid services have ads. the opt out says maybe later. the drive thru is a broken chatbot. your car is an ipad. fuck off! fuck off!

I have a not-well-thought-out tit tat that I sometimes consider getting covered when I’m at the pool… zero references to any hate groups tho.

Tbf, this is also a side effect of raw-dogging life.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Nick Clegg says asking artists for use permission would ‘kill’ the AI industry

Paul McCartne, Elton John and others signed an open letter.

Relatable. Keep showing others my silly little art in hopes they like it because I sure as hell don’t!
