🌈 Happy Pride Month! I’m a proud LGBTQ+ artist working in raku and traditional pottery — and I’d be so honored if you share my work. This Pride, I’m reflecting on something personal: I never thought I’d make it to this age. But I did. And I’m still here. Creating. Grateful. Alive 💖 #pride #pottery

Phenomenal talent. Fascinating interpretation of an astronomical object.

"Mystic Mountain" is a gas pillar in the Carina Nebula, where stardust curls into being. This vessel holds that moment, when chaos births light, and silence learns to shine. A vase shaped by fire, echoing the nebula’s breath, this is "Mystic Mountain." #space #pottery #sciart

A fantastic and highly photogenic chase yesterday near North Platte, Nebraska with multiple landspout tornadoes and a top-tier shelf cloud. I love the rays of light and muted color behind the funnels, just wish we could have gotten even closer. The shelf was a spectacular finale too! #NEwx #tornado

That's probably done? I'm leaving it for a week and I'll see when I have another look. #sciart #art

Here’s the workspace after the Sol 4527 drive, processed from the Navcam images. At left is the workspace in front of the rover following the drive. At right is the penultimate image. This is the rover’s parking spot, taken just before the end of the drive. flic.kr/p/2r24HoY flic.kr/p/2r297xz

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

Last night after a bust of a tornado day I kept screaming we’re about to have an insane photographic sunset shot with this dying updraft underneath a mammatus deck. Turns out it was freaking stellar on camera. Here’s some shots 📸

This is probably the best time lapse we have ever shot. Nothing like an almost stationary wedge and cone tornado right in front of you Hyannis NE from yesterday. #newx #wedge #stormchasers #tornado

What an unreal couple days in the Texas panhandle for chasing slow-moving tornadic supercells. This is the stuff I use my PTO for (4th photo credit Vitor Goede)

Kind of poetic to be painting the guts of a massive star that exploded with paint that only exists because a star died

Galaxies fuzzed, stars coloured. I think it's probably done. I'll let it sit for a week and we'll see if it needs any more touch ups. It is available (but not in the US) DM for details. #sciart

Added more iridescence today! Just have to add a few little things and paint the face. Next time I share it will be finished! Prints coming soon ☀️

Another 22km on the bike and a bunch of hours on the WIP. The part where it starts to look a bit worse than it did on day one, but which is also the part where the refinement starts.

😵 Be ready to be amazed! The NASA/ESA/CSA James #Webb Space Telescope brings you the "Cosmic Tornado" 🌪️ Webb observations have also revealed the identity of the fuzzy object at the tip of this object also known as Herbig-Haro 49/50. Read more 👉 www.esa.int/Science_Expl... 🔭 🧪 ☄️

Ever wondered what re-entry through Earth’s atmosphere would look like? Wonder no more. Varda Space Industries recorded their recent capsule re-entry! Sharing my Insta reel here as I’ve overlaid a new Gaga song I’m really digging. This is what happens when you hit the atmosphere at 8km/s 🧪🔭
