I’ve finally remembered to share more of my cricket art on my insta account. So if you like cricket art (and more) popping up in your feed (if the algorithm allows lol), feel free to go give me a follow over there too! @ maddyobart #Cricket #CricketSky #Ashes 🏏

It’s the time of day England cheat the system by using extra fielders in whites. #Ashes #WAshes 🏏

Happy birthday to Zofia Keilan-Jaworowska (1925-2015) a Polish #paleobiologist famous for a series of Polish-Mongolian expeditions she lead from 1963-1971 to the Gobi desert! 🐡🧪👩🏼‍🔬 #histsci There she discovered dinosaurs including the Deinocheirus, plus she & team found the “Fighting Dinosaurs” fossil

My linocut portrait of Zofia Keilan-Jaworowska shows her as in slacks and sleeveless button down with collar turned in a 3/4 view with her right arm extended and left arm bent and resting on the small of her back. She has short hair and appears brightly lit from the left side. In front of her are the Fighting Dinosaurs fossils: a protoceratops and velociraptor entwined. Above her hand is a Cretaceous rodent Catopsbaatar and behind her is a Deinocheirus dinosaur. She is in the field in Mongolia with mountains in the distance. The print is made in a gradient of sandy golden green through dark green-brown through a dark rust from the bottom to the top.

Yesterday I saw an artist who uses teeny miniature figurines & photographs them in/on vegetables etc. And at that scale the ‘landscape’ looks huge. This provoked a heap of ideas of how I could use this concept to both depict #pwME, and be a visual escape especially for bed and house bound people.

When you step into a time capsule in a little country town. These little gems are in Gundagai. A classic stop over town when driving between Melbourne & Sydney. ID: Timelapse of digital ink & watercolour drawing of a row of 3 colourful old style single story houses, each with an awning. #Art

Happy birthday to geologist & oceanographic cartographer Marie Tharp (1920-2006), whose pioneering, thorough & complete ocean floor maps with Bruce Heezen, made using realms of echo sounder data, revealed the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.⁠ 🐡🧪👩🏼‍🔬⚒️ #histsci ⁠ After studying #geology & math, Maurice 'Doc' Ewing 🧵

My linocut portrait of Marie Tharp (woman in grey shirt with oversized glasses and red hair in up-do) in front of her physiographic of the Atlantic (in grey on teal) with mid-ocean ridge, resting her cheek on her left hand with elbow on table covered with depth sounder data.

Friendly reminder to scientists/science communicators - the images you share (and thus grow followers, trust, credibility upon) are 100-fold better when you use alt-text because they are more accessible to broader audiences. Want to go one step further? Attribute the source! It's the BlueSky way.

There’s been a recent increase in #astrophotography images of the cosmos on here, so I’ve put together an alt-text checklist to assist with writing. Our Universe is wonderful, so let’s ensure everyone gets to experiences it. 🙏 TY to all the folks who already use alt-text! #accessibility 🔭🧪📸 1/3

A prominent ring-like nebula. There are two features. An inner region which is not as dense and has blue-green hues. And an outer, more prominent ring of red dense nebulous gas that is clumpy. A small central star, the white dwarf, is energizing the nebula through its UV radiation causing different gases to be excited and emit different colours. Surrounding the central object, are several other stars. There is also text on the image that has title of “astrophotography alt-text” and bullet points: 1. Describe the main object (features, shape, colour, size, depth). 2. Describe its surroundings (isolated, dense star field, nebulous). 3. Describe its dynamics (orbiting, radiating, swirling, moving). 4. Describe science processes (merging, illuminating, exhibiting)

The first posy in a thimble I made, to lift my mood during the pandemic. The flowers are all real. When humans look at plants (even on a screen as here) we recover from stress 60% more quickly & the relaxation response is triggered in our brains. Zoom in if you're strung out🌿

A very small (real) flower arrangement in a thimble including forget me nots , lily of the valley, buttercup, geum, chive flower bud, snowberry, green alkanet…
