The new Nepenthes bag is coming soon! I spent so much time working with the manufacturer on the sample, and now I’m finally happy with it! It will be a perfect bag for our bug friends, and totally safe for them😉 I am expecting the whole batch to be done and available in September! 💚

Had a fun time interpreting the limited color scheme on this photo, and re-posing the komodo dragon so you could see the feets! Original reference: www.animal-photo-references.com/komodo-drago... @animalphotorefs.bsky.social #smaugust #art #komodo #dragon #nature #animal #digitalart #reptile

Painterly, cel-shaded digital art of a komodo dragon sprawled across an isometric chunk of dirt and molded tree trunk prop from a zoo enclosure. The whole piece is done in understated beige tones with teal shadows, hiding the big lizard with its own basking light. Maybe this isn't such a great situation, being unable to see the giant carnivorous beast as well as you'd like, but sometimes art calls us to do dangerous things. Watermark: http://hmcgill.art

Basilisks: The embodiment of 'WAUGH, outta here' #smaugust #dragon #lizard #reptile #nature #sciart #digitalart #art #animal #science #biology

Painterly, cel-shaded digital art of a basilisk, or 'Jesus lizard', skedaddling across an isometric chunk of clear, clean lake water. A basilisk is green with blue polka dots, two large ear fins on the head, two sail fins on the back and tail, with a yellow belly, gangly limbs, and brown stripes down the tip of its tail. True to its name, it can straight up run across the surface of open water using its giant muppety feet. I wish I could do that. Watermark: http://hmcgill.art

Stop-mo PNGtuber for @foxander.bsky.social in the style of Fantastic Mr. Fox. Foxander messaged me about the idea and it seemed so cool! He sent me drawings and screenshots for the idea I got to work, it took a bit, but I streamed most of the process and am happy with the result! #3dart #vtuber

It's August and I have 20 days left to do the #InverteFest cover lmao. Taking species suggestions, plug your favorites. The more obscure the better. Previous 5 covers are below. #Art #SciArt

Five pieces of art compiled in a single image. Each one is a dense piece featuring various different species of invertebrates.

Artwork 1: An ornate design with a jumble of various marine life messily stacked on top of each other in the middle, surrounded by a wavy border. The entire design is in contrasting red, dark blue, with bright yellow outlines.

Artwork 2: An assortment of colorful invertebrates. Some of the animals are tube shaped, others are frond shaped, frilly, shelly, a few leggy or tentacly. The edges of the image is balanced by geometric shapes, just as colorful.

Artwork 3: White drawing on black. the main figure is a wave of white, flowing from the bottom to the top composed of a slug, a worm, a jelly, and so on swimming and flying in unison. On the background are sketches of geometric patterns.

Artwork 4: Line-heavy drawing. Opabinia on the right and wavy, fern or tendril-like shapes coming out from its tail end swirling across the image made of various animal parts, with geometric shapes arranged in the background.

Artwork 5: Various patterns arranged in hard geometric shapes. Near the middle is a moth surrounded by two layers of diamond shapes, each with different geometric patterns inspired by invertebrates. Outside are various vaguely animal-shaped patterns arranged in circular and rectangular segments.

Probably my fave photo of the day. The spine is suspended using a series of metal cords and elastic bungie tendons which hold the alert posture of the neck in place without the need for excessive mounting frames. We're experimenting with novel materials and building methods.

Today I'm building life sized mecha Megalosaurus in the Future Fossils workshop - a mixture of 3D prints of my digital designs, carved foam, and machine parts, all produced under the direction of Jay Jay Burridge. More photos to come! And debuting at Blenheim Palace next week...

Just got sent this cartoon from @thankyoumoon on tumblr and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't cryin in the club a little right now

First panel: sad bird on ground. "I'm just disillusioned. It feels like there's not supposed to be room for both Jewishness and activism. What if it's true you have to be an immoral person to be Jewish? Is it even worth it to be Jewish? Does it even mean anything?

Second panel: Unseen figure puts hand on bird's shoulder

Third panel: Bird looks at picture of Jacob Geller. "YouTube video essayist Jacob Geller???"

Fourth panel: "No. It doesn't. You are anyway."

Fifth panel: Jacob figure pointing at bird, bird wearing yalmuke, holding lulav and bagel. "Now go. Be the annoying Jew everyone knows" "Thank you mr. geller!"
