How do you study volcanoes on other planets? First, you study them here on Earth. Which can get a little... hair-raising. www.rei.com/blog/hike/me... This feature about NASA planetary geologist Dr. Rosaly Lopes remains my favorite thing I've ever written #volcano #geology #naturewriting

GLOW UP (dino edition): made this 4' tall fluorescent baby brachiosaurus last year for Burien, WA's annual Arts-A-Glow festival. Paint job insp by alebrijes. Wasn't satisfied so I resculpted the head, redid the paint job, and gave her some fake ferns to munch. #paleoart #sciart #dinosaur #sculpture
Can't buy a pet dinosaur so had to make my own... Juvenile Utahraptor ostrommaysorum, just because. #dinosaur #velociraptor #paleoart #polymerclay #artdoll #jurassicworld #sciart
This weekend I made a pugtato and nobody tried to stop me #pugs #potato #polymerclay #sculpture #sciart
Turtlemato or tomurtle? (If you squint, you can see which side I came down on.) #polymerclay #sciart #turtles
Obsessed with making food animals. In honor of National Garlic Day, here's a garlictopus (Octopus allium) #polymerclay #garlic #octopus #sciart
It's still #BatAppreciationDay for a couple more hours so I made a video. Introducing POTATO BAT, a playful sculpture series inspired by an extinct Australian microbat (more on that in a future project) #SciArt
Might quit art today because I will never top Batato. Happy International #BatAppreciationDay everyone #polymerclay #makearteveryday #bats #whatifbatbutpotato
