For #SuperbOwl Sunday, here’s my Perpetual Journal art of 2 very superb owls: 2 Great Horned Owls calling back & forth (duetting) along with a Cooper’s Hawk & a small Mexican Poppy plant.

Finally finished this Barbary striped grass mouse using Pentel Graphgear 1000s (.3 and .5). I used a tortillon for the blur and BluTack for those tiny highlights. I honestly might enjoy drawing the bark more than the mouse. Reference by the great Edwin Butter. #sciart

#SciArtSeptember Day 10: Algae
(This was going to be cast in brass, until some guy dropped it on the ground and utterly destroyed it. An incomplete process photo is the only thing left)
I arranged found Araucaria leaves so they evoked the motion of algae in water.

Sketched this goldfinch over two quiet mornings. They’re great subjects for beginner or seasoned artists. Subtle textures, soft value shifts, no pressure to get loud. Pentel GraphGear .3 & .5 pencils (2B/4B) and a tortillon to blend. #bird #sciart

Happy #WeevilWednesday! I've painted a Haselblattroller, aka hazel leaf roller, Apoderus coryli. As the name suggests, they roll leaves from hazel trees into protective tubes for their larvae.

My painting, "Two Pigeons"! I started with watercolor and colored pencil in my sketchbook and then pulled it into Procreate to finish! I'm enjoying this hybrid approach!

I got way too into this opossum sketch but I couldn’t help it. Saw them in NY and couldn’t look away. Done in graphite with BluTack + blender for depth. Vines were negative space work. Feels like I drew a ghost hiding in the roots. #sciart #graphite #art

This green-eyed fellow is a Salz-Buntbiene (Camptopoeum friesei). They dig semi-communal nests in salty, alkaline sands and specialize in collecting oils from thistles.

Today for #ArtAdventCalendar, you get a drawing and a photograph! Burying beetles (genus Nicrophorus) are known for their practice of burying small animal carcasses to create a home and food for their larvae. Both females and males tend to their brood until they pupate.
One of the most exciting moments of last summer was when one wandered through my backyard!

Day 22 #artAdventCalendar my bee (and other pollinator) propaganda I made for Manufactured Ecosystems. Thinking about the future of pollination and seeking solutions from technological and nature-based knowledge. This is essentially my conclusion: we can aid our beleaguered pollinators with technology but their continued success is vital. 🧵

Today for #ArtAdventCalendar I have this power couple, the trilobite beetle (Platerodrilus sp). Females retain their larval form, just getting bigger and bigger, while males undergo regular metamorphosis. The females were first described (and poorly classified) in 1831, but it took nearly 100 years to figure out who or what the males were.

Since I’m sharing 2025 work for #artAdventCalendar, another thing I did this year was make a large collection of repeat patterns, like this Velvet worm repeat pattern! Putting more invertebrate linocuts into surface design!
These adorable, caterpillar-like blue velvet worm from New Zealand (Aotearoa). Velvet worms (phylum: Onychophora) are named for their velvet-like texture and somewhat wormlike appearance. 🧵

One of the joys of keeping a Perpetual Journal is seeing what was going on during this week in previous years. Here’s my PJ showing my art of nature observations from my Tucson, AZ yard 1, 2 & 3 years ago this week: a colorful sunset, red Cholla fruit & Desert Senna seedpods.

Day 7 #artAdventCalendar my #linocut horseshoe crab (Tachypeus gigas) in grey, blue-bronze and dark brown on 8” x 8” cream-coloured Japanese paper with bark inclusions. They get their name from their horseshoe like shape but they are not crabs; they are chelicerates, more closely related to arachnids and they are “living fossils” which have changed very little since they first appeared in the Triassic. The textured sandy 🧵

It's December, so it's time for #DecembArt!
Today, I'm sharing one of my favorite drawings from this year. It's ink on watercolor paper, and is inspired by atomic bonding angles.

1. Only post your own work (new or old)
2. Any medium (but no AI-slop)
3. Have fun!

We’ve made it to December so that means it’s time for #ArtAdventCalendar! I enjoy taking part and just sharing art every day and take the opportunity to go back over new work I made during the year.
Day 1. I am sharing the pollinator garden work which I made for my show about the future of pollination for Manufactured Ecosystems. 🧵

Sketched these Polyommatus butterflies at a Barnes & Noble in Ithaca from a reference. Graphgear 1000 (.3 & .5, 2B + 4B), Blu Tack, and a few mins of stillness. Some of their caterpillars team up with ants, who guard them in exchange for sugar. #sciart #pencil #art

Gedanken zu Wissenschaftskommunikation & (Wort-)Bildern aus meinem Buch:
Wir Physiker*innen verwenden gerne Vergleiche aus dem Alltag: ob nun die Raumzeit als eine dünne Folie (oder Katzenhängematte 😺) oder das sich ausdehnende Universum mit Galaxien drin als Rosinenbrot. Solche Modelle vereinfachen physikalische/mathematische Zusammenhänge, so dass wir uns die wesentlichen Eigenschaften besonders einfach vorstellen können. 1/4
