I recently upgraded my phone and came across this pic I took from York's medieval walls while I was in grad school. That's York Minster in the background.

Just a reminder to the universe that I make more than just historic coloring books. Case in point- the commission scenes completed this week. Watch for this life scene of T US 380 in a #medievaldisability book near you soon. #sciart #archaeologialillustration #archaeology #medieval

I fully intended on posting a shot of the cards from the Spooky Paint Set well before Halloween. However, this Fall term has been a bit of a *raging dumpster fire* so it got away from me. I still think they're cute though.

I recently got a lovely card from @visitstockton for the live painting at #FeastattheFox earlier this year. The full line work for the Fox is the first scene for Volume 2 of the Historic Stockton Coloring Book. #visitstockton, #Coloringbook, #localartist

Good morning from the Central Valley of California! How y'all doing this glorious day?
It's so glorious even the rain we're about to get can't stop it. Exhibit A: the view from my backyard.

Booked for TK today. They normally have a nap so I work on sketches or write until it’s time for their 2nd recess of the day.
A lifetime ago I was here at Igaliku.

All of the teachers in all of the districts that I substitute with here in California have been stockpiling snacks for kids already. I've been keeping extra granola bars for staff to have in the staff room.
SNAP, the country's largest anti-hunger program, dates back to the Great Depression and has never been disrupted this way. Most recipients are seniors, families with kids, and those with disabilities.

This view of the Fox Theater Tower was one of the test pieces I did for the Feast at the Fox to figure out how I was going to paint the theater front live at the event itself. #stockton, #localartist, #coloringbook

First Skype a Scientist session for Fall 2025 for me today so I've been thinking harder about #archaeology, #medieval, #museumwork and my place in the scheme of things.
You all have no idea how much I miss it and the people I've met along the way.

It is 3:30am here and I am awake for an online conference (which has been lovely so far). The guinea pigs are all asleep. The rabbit is confused.
