In 1966, Marlon Brando bought a Polynesian atoll after filming ‘Mutiny on the Bounty’. He had the invasive rats removed, then just let it be. It's now a thriving wildlife sanctuary. For example: 15,614 turtles hatched in a season. The power of rewilding. timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/rest-o...

Finally got a good video of my Betta hendra. These are native to Borneo and Indonesia. Not seeing their iridescent blue colors yet but they are not fully grown. Male at the start with female coming up later in the video. They both flash their blue eyes.

Schemed myself up a side project that allows me to flee my laptop and hang out with the cool kids at the museum! Ciscoes are a taxonomic nightmare and genetic work from the lab is raising questions about two species. So we go to the types! Pray we have luck extracting from formalin fixed tissues 🫣

Photo of a museum back room, jars of fish are on metal racks.Photo of a 100 year old fish pinned to a foam board for measurement. It is a truly appalling shade of brown.

When the Singing Stone was first displayed at the Museum, the massive block of vibrant blue azurite and green malachite made high-pitched sounds when the humidity changed with the weather and seasons. These noises were produced as the porous stone absorbed and released moisture from the air.

Wide shot of the Singing Stone on display in the Museum's Hall of Gems and Minerals. It is a large gray rectangular cube-like stone with swirls of shades of blue and green on its exterior.

Ok here it is #SundayFishSketch 🐡 Used whatever scrap thread I had for the color, decided not to try 'shading' yet since it's so small and I've some things to learn before that. This was kinda tough, lol, I hope it makes someone smile! Spotted garden eel in cross-stitch 🪡 #fishArt #stitchArt

A cross stitch of a cartoon-like stylized spotted garden eel peeking out of the substrate with really cute goofy eyes. Designed and stitched by the artist Dhiyanah Hassan.

Tentative #SundayFishSketch scribble of a spotted garden eel on aida cloth in charcoal pencil. I was gonna scrap this idea tbh but spent the night digitally tracing over this with x's & it looked feasible (and so funny)! I'll try with threads soon, might report findings! 🐡 #fishArt #stitchArt

A sketch of a spotted garden eel peeking out of substrate drawn in simple shapes against the cross stitch fabric. Drawn by Dhiyanah Hassan.

I know I've shared this illustration for #SundayFishSketch a few times now, but I'm sharing it again because it was accepted into the Minnesota State Fair fine arts building and is currently on display. So, if you're headed to the fair check it and the other amazing art out!

An illustration of a Burbot (a type of fish) swimming in deep water. The water is dark - almost black - and the bottom is a mixture of sand, silt, and rocks. The burbot is in three-quarter view, and the front is illuminated while the back fades into the background. A school of small, nondescript silver fish swim beneath the burbot.
