A colored pencil comic showing two hairy green stems on the left, then two hairy brown legs on the right. Then the bottom half of a sunflower and it petals is on the left, followed by the half circle of a top surgery scar. The final frame on the bottom is all one image showing a sunflower head and dark skinned shirtless person staring off into the rising sun.

To me sunflowers are symbols of transmasculinity

Close up picture of a sketch book drawing of an older woman & witch. She is wearing a fantasy-esque diving suit which resembles medieval knight underlayers and her witch's hat resembles a hammerhead shark. She holds a staff with a shining crescent moon at one wnd and a paddle at the other. The tail of the shark hat resembles the moon. Behind her, water splashes upwards.

A witch's magic outfit is determined by their familar. This one's familiar doubles as her hat and she has begrudgingly gotten used to this.

keep forgetting this tag

A pen drawing digitally inked because markers are expensive. There are two walls, one like the U.S. border wall to Mexico & the other like the barbed wire fences lining prisons and ICE concentration camps. In the middle of these walls, which stretch on and on into the dark distance, are plants and animals including two humans holding hands. They are all facing the long walk between these two walls.

#SciArtSeptember Day 5:
"Corridor"
Humans and Wildlife deserve the right to roam.
Wildlife corridors are bandaids to an amputation - they are damage mitigation but they are not by themselves solutions.

A crayola marker and colored pencil drawing of a June Bug larva (also called a "grub"). The colors of the surrounding soil are warm, while the colors of the grub are opalescent and exaggerated with blues, purples, yellows, and white shine.

#SciArtSeptember Day 3
"Jewel"
I know there are many beetles that grow up to be gem-like, but to me the pearly larvae are where beauty is.🤍🐛 Have you ever just stared at a baby June Beetle? TRY IT!
They are baking in the earth waiting like diamonds 💎...

A monocrome black & white ink drawing showing a highly stylized tropical rainforest depicted as a literal canopy bed. The different layers are labeled with the "emergent layer" at the very top where the sun's rays are. Then the "canopy" just below that where the top frame of the canopy bed would be. Then the "understory" is the dark and lush layer under that which is also the headboard of the bed. Then the "forest floor" as the mattress itself. Then finally there is a layer labeled under the bed, where the rain water is collecting and where the tree roots begin called the "soil horizons". I included this because I am tired of forest layer diagrams never including anything below the forest floor.

#SciArtSeptember !
Day 2: "Canopy"

I knew instantly for this one I wanted to draw tropical rainforest layers as a literal canopy bed. 😁

Ink pen line art and digital coloring because markers are expensive. Image is a mostly gray scale drawing of an islet above and below the waves. On top of the islet is what looks to be something like a glowing lighthouse, but we see it is just the tail end of a long and banded sea serpent - titanic in size. The only color is the red banding at the tail end which gradually fades to greyscale for camoflage against the rock. The face of the serpent is so far below the waves that nothing but its eyes are glowing in the stygian depths.

#SciArtSeptember !
Day 1: "Islet". ⚓️🌊
This one might be more fantastical but its based off of old legends of sea serpents, as well as the very real banded sea snake & angler fish.

A stylized highlighter drawing of a rattlesnake curled up and shaking its tail in the grass. A quote balloon coming off the tail says "scared".

Also a snek doodle🐍.
I feel so bad rattlesnakes got co-opted by libertarians.
There are few animals that evolved a physical trait JUST to tell you when they're nervous.
They are so polite!

A sketch of a tree with many curved and flowing branches. The sketch is colored with highlighters which bring the tree to life with rosy blossoms.

highlighter art! 🌳🐍
...and tree practice.
The original tree I sketched was "dead" and extremely beautiful - like bones plucked clean...
