Day 10 #artAdventCalendar A piece for Manufactured Ecosystems about the future of pollination about who decides what gets pollinated if humans and our devices are the only pollinators. 🧪🐡

The definition of “weed” is usually pretty arbitrary and usually all sorts of native plants get caught up in 🧵
My linocut print on Arches paper with a deckle edge shows a common milkweed plant on collaged washi papers in green and plum overprinted with magenta sans serif text “WE’RE NOT WEEDS” with the Robobee pollination drone in black on an angle inside the O. The little drone is a vertical shaft with a dot and two wings at the top and a tripod at the bottom.

This is as close as I am allowed to get. I have stolen too many tufties from @adailyviolet.bsky.social and my privileges have been revoked.

The final prompt of Creepmas is Gift Giver. This is a hangingfly, which gives nuptial gifts (though they aren't usually wrapped in paper and shiny ribbons).

A #PudgyHorse tribute to the Lascaux cave paintings, painted with the Strata Trio watercolours made by @thoughtsupnorth.bsky.social from Cretaceous rocks from the Albertan badlands. From 2020.

Might as well post this one as it's been stolen and sold on Australian Temu. 🙃

#ArtAdventCalendar
Painting of my character, Pudgy Horse, a horse of baroque type appearance with luxuriant mane and tail, and deliberately exaggerated proportions, including short, slender legs with dainty hooves and an extremely generous girth; here painted in tribute to one of the famous horses in the Lascaux cave paintings using similar colours and simplified shapes.

Natee is one of our greatest living artists in my humble opinion, I'm saving up my pennies to one day buy an original.
Having such incredible work stolen so brazenly is horrible.
Please report any links and support them and their stunning work

Prints are available. Everything currently 50% off on Redbubble, apparently.

You would also be helping to recompense the Temu theft since I can't do anything about it (I can't even get the relevant page to load, perhaps owing to some regional restrictions). 🥲

The 2nd prompt of Creepmas is Carolers. Not sure if this creature counts as one or three 🤔

Photo of an iridescent rainbow sticker of two sphinx moths symmetrically posed facing each other. They have similar markings but are largely inverted - the top one has much more rainbow material, while the bottom one has much more black. The top moth has a closed eye on the back of its head and open eyes on its hind wings, while the bottom moth has an open eye on the back of its head and closed eyes on its wings. A small black star rests between their antennae, and on either side is a small sequence of moon phases. An enamel pin of a bumblebee done in a symmetrical geometric design with straight lines forming every shape of its body. It has yellow and black stripes down its body with white wings and little gold metal legs and antennae. It's shown on a purple backing card that reads "Insecta Geometrica Enamel Pin" at the top and "The Art of Mary Capaldi" with a crowned moth logo at the bottom. Photo of two double-sided acrylic charms of a pellucid hawk moth with the left one showing the top and the right one showing the bottom. The moth design is largely green, yellow, and black on top and cream-colored with dark areas underneath. The wings have dark veins but are otherwise clear. The backdrop behind the charms is off-white and gold. Close-up photo of a black cotton bandana with a gold metallic honeybee and honeycomb design screen printed on it.

Evolution doesn’t look how it’s depicted in pop culture. We often picture the famous “March of Progress” illustration where a series of apes stand in line leading to a modern human.

But evolution is not linear. It branches and divides and recombines.

Just a friendly reminder as we go into the holidays:

Folks don't have to explain to you why they don't drink.

If you offer them a drink and they decline, don't ask them why. It's not your business.

Just offer them something without alcohol to drink instead. And move on.

Anyone with a phone and a few hours to spare a week can also call Dem voters in Nashville and tell them not only is there a special election but Dems are about 2,000-3,000 votes away from winning. This isn't a longshot election. It is a wide open goal for Nashville and Clarksville voters to walk in.
