A photo of my hand holding two sea slug plushies. A keychain sized one is stacked on top of a larger one that is slightly bigger than my outstretched hand. They are a deep cerulean blue with lighter blue details, and bright yellow stripes across the head and sizes of the body. They have dark blue “ears” (rhinophores) and “tails” (gills). They are photographed in front of a red Japanese maple.

🌊 SEA SLUG PLUSHIES! 🌊
Nudibranch/sea slug plushies will be available to preorder on Friday, May 8th!! More info to follow as we get closer to May☀️

this post brought to you by me wanting to buy a tamagotchi for nostalgia but they’re like $35 now (I distinctly remember using my birthday money to buy one back in 2006ish for $15-20) 😭

a $20 bill is the new $10

Gorgeous!

A photograph taken by me of a rough-skinned newt (Taricha granulosa) gently swimming through murky brownish yellow pond water. The newt is mostly brown with an orange underside, and appears to be suspended in the water.

A photo taken by me of a rough-skinned nest swimming towards me in murky brownish-yellow sepia toned pond water.

A photograph of the newt pond, where Taricha newts swim and float in the murky water. Tree shadows and leaf dapples cover part of the water surface, with sunlight reflecting off the water in half the composition.

Visited the newt pond ❤️

Your painting style is so pleasing!!

Thank you!!

Thank you so much!!

Thanks so much!

A photo collage on a black background showcasing several of my new Cambrian-period themed items that are now available in my online store! There are stickers featuring a fossil from the Burgess Shale, Hallucigenia, and Anomalocaris with funny text that reads "Back in my day, this was the apex predator". There is also a sticker sheet containing an assortment of weird Cambrian invertebrates, a tea towel, and Burgess Shale iron-on patch. At the center of the collage is white text that reads "Cambrian Collection, now available!" and a URL to my shop: shop.fossilforager.art

My new Cambrian Period collection is now LIVE! New Paleozoic-themed designs and other new goods available now 🦐 💖

I've always liked it when total strangers show up and submit artwork done in media that have never been represented in previous books. Or when they feature rarely seen creatures.

If you know an offsite friend or two, let them know and help to diversify the art book please? 🥺
