MY FIRST EVER WILD MANTIS!!!

Have some low quality Mexican bug photos...

Stunning photo...

Please enjoy this coati...

I've seen some discourse about The Bad Place, and I think it's worth remembering that engagement over there, whilst inflated by bots, was still really useful in gaining traction. I say that as someone who's struggled to rebuild my empire over here, largely due to the amount of effort required.

What a superb illustration...

Stunning...

"Artificial Intelligence is facing a crisis: humans are consuming far too many precious resources that AI needs to thrive. Every sip of water you take and every light you turn on could be sustaining the AI systems that uphold your digital conveniences" Brave campaign from @savetheai.bsky.social ✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽

It’s #SuperbOwl time again. Illustration from the book“Novosaurs 2”.

Might as well rinse this thing, it took me 6 months. #SuperbOwl

Hello, internet! Things are bad for our trans & queer friends in the US, so I teamed up with bsky's nature artists to create this pack containing 80 wallpapers and growing. 1. Donate to one of the two orgs below 2. DM me your receipt 3. I'll give you a download link Valid til the end of the month

Miese Laune rausgekritzelt ... Komischer Vogel, aber voll nett!

Worker ant. Sculpted, printed, cast, cleaned, assembled, patinated, polished…and she’s done. 14 separate bronze pieces, 7 nuts and bolts, 2 rare-earth magnets, zero visible fasteners. The animal itself.

I'm really looking forward to drawing one of these someday...

Recent #sciart #botanicalillustration of #ribwort #plantain #plantagolanceolata. What an obliging plant, with leaves to work with even in the depths of a wintery January! And if you crush the leaves, they smell just like mushrooms. I love to include tiny areas of leaf damage if I can sneak them in.

It would be nice if people could stop acting like DEI is an only a moral good. DEI strengthens organizations. People from diverse backgrounds bring new ways of solving problems and serving people. DEI isn’t a gift to diverse people. It’s a gift to the orgs that hire us.

Trust your process 🛠️

There are many anti-predatory adaptations that help insects stay safe in the wild. These include jaws, spikes, and false eyes, which can be used to bite, inject venom, or deter potential predators. I love insects and their fascinating defense mechanisms! #naturalhistory #evolution #insects

Javier's animal illustrations are superb - check out the portfolio on his website...

Zork The Puppy Destroyer has regularly said he wants to destroy puppies, and has recently spoken at a puppy destroying convention. But will he actually destroy any puppies? Our media think any such fears are an overreaction.

I've only ever drawn one birb, this scruffy juvenile long-eared owl #BirbFest2025

Superb...
