Thank you @blueappaloosa.bsky.social for the official hashtag for this #SciArt challenge, which will be #EndangArt ! 1 art piece for an endangered species per month in 2025 with optional prompts. Use alt text please, any style/medium/effort welcome, as long as it's human-made! #ArtChallenge

I'm proposing a #SciArt Challenge for 2025! Every month, make art of one of the animals that lives in your area. Post your work with the hashtag #NearbyNature2025 along with something you find interesting about them. Bonus points for organisms that most of your neighbors won't know live close by!

Want to learn to draw bugs for #InverteFest? I curate "Bug Pics for Art Refs"β€”a collection of photos that show invertebrates from angles that are hard to find elsewhere online, hand-picked to specifically help people who draw bugs *like me*. www.inaturalist.org/observations... My latest addition:

matchstickbox #artadventcalendar 🐑 from last year ... a 🧡 1, 2, 3, 4, ...

Day 6 #ArtAdventCalendar A pair of rainbow trout painted in acrylics on Chucks. I love using Converse as a canvas, and have done several pairs with different subjects for friends and family.

i just realized decorator crabs would be a perfect inspiration for a weird playable character. you can stick things into yourself from points along your journey. a pebble from the town you were born in. a piece of seaglass from a place you met a cute lizard person. some antlers you find in a field.

Hey Bluesky, I am here sharing artwork now! Please enjoy 'Fae Flight' from this year. #originalart #inkart #illustration

Chaos goblin hat for a fellow painter friend. May this little dude inspire some happy accidents.

Sketchbook hermit crab. (Hello new folks! So pleased to see everyone πŸ’œ)

Tlatolophus. Painted with the Strata Trio watercolours made from Cretaceous rocks by Mary Sanche, together with regular watercolours. I'll keep my frustrations with the piece brief. Suffice to say that though the result isn't bad, it certainly did not warrant the _weeks_ given up to it. πŸ€•

If you see this, post something pink! #art #sciart
