Happy 2-year anniversary to Mona, the most perfect beast. (Those other families gave you up because they couldn't handle your magnificence.) I love you so much it's stupid. 🐰

Moa Remains
Digital Drawing. A depiction of an upland moa (Megalapteryx didinus) based on the type specimen. The head and right foot are represented as mummified remains while the rest of the body is drawn more like a life appearance, in the style of a monochromatic sketch.

'The Infant's Cabinet of Insects.' London: Printed and Sold by John Marshall, No. 4 Aldermary Church-Yard, in Bow Lane, 1801.

I saw this at Harvard's Houghton Library.

Someone should recreate this!

A little watercolour sketch of a deep sea fish. The bodey is long and black with little light spots running downbits side. It has sharp teeth and little red "cheeks". The latin name is written above and a pencil lies under it for size reference.

We are getting some beautiful autumn weather here in NE. This season always evokes a sense of things coming to pass and a year coming to an end. Thus, the #SundayFishSketch #Fishytheme for this weekend is "lifecycles." Sketch a fish lifecycle, can be as simple or complex as you want! #sciart 🦑

Rene assigned spooky fishes for Halloween #SundayFishSketch. Sharks are often misunderstood as scary or spooky, but most species are just derpy sea puppies, like this Chiloscyllium punctatum / brown-banded bamboo shark / 點文狗鯊 / 白狗鯊。 #TaiwanFishes #台灣魚類 🦑🐡🧪

Happy #Invertober day 26!

Sea bunny (Jorunna parva)

I always get really excited when I see the invert of the day has a simple shape until I realize it's really hard to make a simple shape look like anything 🙃😂

#SciArt #Invertober2025
Digital painting of a pale cream slug-like creature with tiny purple spikes all over, a frilly tail, and feathery antennae structures that resemble bunny ears.
