Gouache painting of a man wearing light blue ensemble (scarf around his head, blazer and a pair of knee-socks,) a dark blue shirt tucked in a pair of teal shorts, and he is wearing dark blue dress shoes. A heavy sling bag is hanging off his right shoulder, and he is carrying a suitcase on the left hand. There are three fish surrounding him, with a green and turquoise floral patterns as a backdrop.

me when the AI bubble bursts
3 panel comic Panel 1: A desperate, panicking Blue Guy screams into his phone: Come Quickly! The AI companies are in trouble! Panel 2: A Pink Guy, also on the phone, replies: Oh Shit! I’m on my way! Panel 3: Pink Guy is relaxing in his living room, having a lovely cup of tea. He has no intention of going to help save the AI sinking slop ship.

I designed a bag charm for my friends @oddmentandtweak.bsky.social and they’re running a Backerkit for the next 8 days! They are funded but it would be cool to get some of the other colors unlocked 😉 💖 share with your frog loving friends! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/o...
An image with a frog bag charm design in 3 stages of design. The first is a sketch, the second is a digital drawing, and the 3rd is a finished plush frog bag charm. The finished charm is green with a blue bow tie and looks soft and fluffy. The text says “how to design a bag charm, a very loose step by step process by Sarah Cosico” A screenshot from the step by step bag charm design guide made for Instagram. The finished charm is hanging from a stand. An image of what the final bag charm will look like. The text says “Cecil. Froggy facts: loves to read, enjoys a hot tea, prefers a quiet night in. Unlocked!”

My latest @newscientist.com cartoon.

p.s. my new book of science cartoons 'Physics for Cats' is out now! Order from your local bookshop or online: www.tomgauld.com
Panel 1. Two scientists walking along. The first one says: I have opened a portal into an alternate universe that is an exact reflection of our own! Panel 2. The second scientist looks into a technical portal and says WOW Panel 3. A reflection of panel two. The reflected scientist's speech bubble still reads: WOW Panel 4. A reflection of panel one. The text is all back to front.

Never paid much attention to birds (except penguins, they were always the exception) but @peacorn.bsky.social really opened my eyes to their big beautiful world 🥹
A natural science poster, upright format, made to look old-fashioned. The background is light brown, slightly darker towards the edges. The title at the top says „Pinguine / Penguins“ and in small, handwritten phonetic spelling beside that „pengwings“. The penguins take up most of the space and are contained within a thin frame. They are all painted as naturalistic studies with gouache and pencils, all in fabulous poses. They are puzzled together as fit, but roughly from top left to bottom right: gentoo penguin, adélie penguin, chinstrap penguin, emperor penguin, macaroni penguin, erect-crested penguin, royal penguin, northern rockhopper penguin, king penguin, fiordland penguin, snares penguin, magellanic penguin, Pingu, african penguin, yellow-eyed penguin, australian little penguin, little penguin, southern rockhopper penguin, galápagos penguin, humboldt penguin. Each has a number beside it corresponding to a number in the legend below, stating their Latin, German & English names. 🐡

Thought I'd collect my own designs on a sheet I can reference in the future. Not all my stamps are on it, but most. Even old ones that weren't very good yet. #art

If you'd like one, comment or DM me.
My artist's seal is an example of how a custom one could look like.
A DIN A4 piece of paper with a lot of different stamped illustrations. A seahorse, a goose, a church with the text "Post aus Mainz", a pigeon holding a letter with the text "für dich", a mouse with a letter, a fast snail holding a letter, a whale, a pillow with the text "Kissenstempel", a fish, several butterflies, tomatoes, stars and flowers, apples and an apple tree. Some seal stamps (as in wax seals but stamps), one of them a heart, one a fish, one leaves and a flower and one my artist sign.

I made a cool commission for my wonderful friend @abstraktesherz.bsky.social. I'm so thankful I have them in my life. And I think no one has as many of my stamps as Mar. 😭💕 #art
Two hand carved rubber stamps and their prints in teal of the same thing, one smaller, one bigger. It shows the Berlin television Tower with the text "Post aus Berlin", where "Post aus" and the B from Berlin are on the body of the tower, and the rest of Berlin are next to it. So "post aus" is written vertically and Berlin is horizontal. They're both mounted to jade green/turquoise 3d printed handles.

Not my usual style, but an illustration for a puzzle I made a long time ago.

My art / My inspiration
A chest up illustration of Kim Namjoon from BTS. Head tilted up and slightly to the side, he's against a flat red background and wearing a black shirt with a very deep neckline. Around his throat is a four strand pearl choker with dangling red beads meant to represent blood drops.
