Hey everyone! I'm officially out job hunting, so if you're in need of a scientific illustrator, please feel free to contact me!

Even if you're not interested, I would appreciate a quick share so I can reach more people 💗🐾🦖

War can have big environmental impacts, in addition to the human and economic impacts.

Large oil spills caused by US, Israeli, and Iranian attacks on energy resource facilities won't simply disappear when the war ends.

the long stalks with the little black dot are indeed the eyes! So yes, it was probably looking right at you

Iran conflict threatens survival of Critically Endangered Asiatic Cheetah Protection efforts for the world's rarest big cat have been severely impacted by war in the Middle East.

The conflict in Iran has severely disrupted conservation efforts for the Critically Endangered Asiatic Cheetah, raising fresh concerns for the survival of the world's rarest big cat:

this is cool because it's a very obvious concept but it's neat to see it laid out in data!

Here's a new study!

A charcoal-black, hunch-backed Iguanodon with a serrated back frill stands straddling a gnarled branch.

A scaly, earthy-toned Gordodon nips at the cone of a cycad. The forested scene is cast in orange-hued light, bathed in the warmth of a sunrise or sunset.

A blotchy-coloured Drepanosaurus sits atop a woody branch, feeding on beetle larvae.

A mixed group of sauropods forages and wanders about in a riparian forest.

Today's four random pieces of palaeoart:

William Francis Phillips' Iguanodon, Matt Celeskey's Gordodon, Victor O. Leshyk's Drepanosaurus, and Peter Schouten's Wintonotitan and Diamantinasaurus!

I actually painted the Muttaburrasaurus too. With the new long narrow snout and front teeth plus the short arms I can’t not think this dinosaur looks like a big Thescelosaurus relative. #paleoart

An digital illustration of a scrubland/pinyon-junper woodland. There is shallow, flowing, water in a sandy wash with some large rocks. The plantlife is mostly rabbitbrush and big sagebrush, but pines, deciduous trees, and joshua trees are visible going further back toward the scrub covered hills. These plants communities combine in these spots between the biomes we more commonly think of, making them extremely biodiverse. While this particular landscape is based on the Mojave-San Gabriel Mountain transition zone, this particular place doesn't actually exist. Instead, the image is based on Puma Canyon (Phelan, CA) Lost Lake (San Bernardino, CA) and the drive up Lone Pine Canyon (Lytle Creek, CA)

A landscape I did for Transition Habitat.

This place doesn't actually exist though.
It's a made up landscape based on photos I took at Lost Lake, available photos of Puma Canyon, and my commute thru the San Gabriel Mountains.

A powerful man sexually pursuing a young woman who works for him is oppressive. It immediately limits and reshapes her future to her detriment, whether she is physically forced into it or not. It’s coercion either way, and that is why it’s so wrong. It’s an abuse of power.

Tumblr user thereisselfpreservation "I'm seeing warnings about scammers trying to commission artists but the "reference sheet" for their character they want commissioned isn't an image but a .vbs file ("visual basic script"), and will run a script when you open it, probably to yoink your account(s), but I haven't seen this from anyone who's actually clicked it yet. Just be careful and never open a file like that, 'cause people suck." Reply from the same user: "For reference (heh)" Screenshots of messages. Sender: "Okay, I've sent it now." There's a file attachment called "Shork_YCH_MyReference_v1.vbs". The vbs extension is circled. Sender: "If everything is in order, I can send the overpayment." Sender, in reply to the file attachment (again with the vbs extension circled): "How much would the full piece cost?" thereisselfpreservation: "At a glance, the file name checks out. But!! do not open a .vbs file!!!

You should know that the infamous I Love You virus uses the same trick - Always make sure to turn on 'show file extensions' in your windows/browser settings.

Been looking through my old art (like from 10-15 years ago OOF) looking for stuff to send to book editors for illustration work and I realized... I've amassed A LOT of mermaid illustrations. Might post them next month for mermay!

A more recent entry to the category but instant classic in my mind:

Dr. Lindsay Zanno with the "Dueling Dinosaurs" Nanotyrannus fossil at the North Carolina Museum of Natural Science (Photo: Justin Kase Conder/Walter)

A strong second place:

The undisputed #1 greatest photo of a person with a fossil:

Three fish-like reptiles with large forefins and long, pointed snouts swim through a Triassic/Jurassic reefscape. The backs of their jaws are downturned, such that they look to be perpetually frowning. I assume they're on the way to the pub to forget about a long, expensive week.

For #FossilFriday, here's the grumpy-faced Triassic/Jurassic ichthyosaur Leptonectes tenuirostris. I guess they've had a week of changing their tax system and non-stop IT issues too? They also had very large flippers, possibly for smashing computer keyboards.

Digital Drawing. A vaquita (Phocoena sinus) swims against a dark background, partially crossing over a red line that runs horizontally. Red brushstrokes rise from below. Several bubbles have emerged from the vaquita's blowhole.

The Spanish Revolt: The European Leader Who Says No to Trump Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has become the standard-bearer for Western political opposition to the U.S. president with his blunt rejection of the Iran war.

"Spain, rarely the center of gravity in European affairs, has become the standard-bearer for Europeans frustrated at the continent’s fear of standing up to a U.S. president."
