Today for #MarshMadness I painted a long nose swamp fly, Eurimyia stipata. Frequently confused for bees, syrphid flies are equally significant as pollinators.

Zine day! More wetland babies :). Next week we take a break and I show you what I've learned in about my new baby snake, and some stuff about worms, and maybe grubs and slugs.

Full zine: https://tippitiwichet.wordpress.com/bog-monsters-how-carnivorous-plants-do-the-things-they-do/

Colored pencil drawing of a firefly, a monarch on milkweed, a salamander, and a violet with information that reads:

The acidity of the water means not many amphibians like them, with a few exceptions such as the leopard frog, spotted salamander, and wood frogs. A few turtles and snake species can be found as well. These wetlands are full of insects though, and they thrive. This is good news for breeding birds, even seed eating species need insects for protein to feed to their young.

Wetlands benefit humans as well. They can prevent flooding inland, provide a reservoir that filters water into local aquifers for our well and city water, cleaning it of pollutants for our consumption, and clean the water coming from the land of silt, pollutants, and debris that can damage river and ocean ecosystems.

Unfortunately, wetlands are on the decline. Some are drained for agricultural use and commercial property, and many companies want to get their hands on peat and don’t worry about how long it took the wetland above the peat to form, or what a valuable resource the wetlands themselves are.

With urban sprawl pushing wildlife into these areas already, the shrinking habitat means fierce competition for food and breeding space. Native species are getting crowded out. Many wetland species are at risk, including several species of carnivorous plants.

Happy birthday to chemist William Henry Perkin (1838-1907)! This lino block print ‘William Henry Perkin Discovers Mauve’ is about how the British chemist & entrepreneur made the serendipitous discovery of the 1st synthetic organic dye: mauveine. ⁠
⁠
Perkins entered the Royal College of Chemistry in London in 1853 when he was only 15, studying with August Wilhelm von Hofmann. 🧵1/

#WIP
Flemme de poster mais irl je continue tkl mon side-project #cartosensible à base de globe-parcours ds le parc du Vallon.
Je mettrais les détails sur le blog qd j'aurai 2mn mais l'affaire avance bien et génère mille autres idées huhu
#sciart #laduchere #parcduvallon

J'ai imprimé les scans des illustrations originales en noir et blanc sur du papier beige/écru de 300g pour continuer mes prototypages.
Évidemment qq correctifs à faire au moment de fermer l'hémisphère, renforcer la base avec un disque de carton, mais c'est ok à 95% je dirais :)

A shipment of postcards arrived today. Not yet fully decided on whether to put them in the shop (probably as a wish-you-were-here collection after getting other designs printed), or to use them for promotion.

If you're willing to comment: Do you ever send postcards and/or greeting cards?

I have a thing for round spheres, not least because 1. extremal Kähler metric, and 2. isometrically embeds in real 3-space. This fetching (if I may say so) digital image arose unexpectedly in January 2026.

"LIGO Detects Gravitational Waves from Merging Black Holes"

https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap160211.html

A beautiful artistic interpretation of our first discovery 10 years ago today

#GW10Years #SciArt #Astrodon

LIGO Detects Gravitational Waves from Merging Black Holes

Illustration Credit: LIGO, NSF, Aurore Simonnet (Sonoma State U.)

Explanation: Gravitational radiation has been directly detected. The first-ever detection was made by both facilities of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) in Washington and Louisiana simultaneously last September. After numerous consistency checks, the resulting 5-sigma discovery was published today. The measured gravitational waves match those expected from two large black holes merging after a death spiral in a distant galaxy, with the resulting new black hole momentarily vibrating in a rapid ringdown. A phenomenon predicted by Einstein, the historic discovery confirms a cornerstone of humanity's understanding of gravity and basic physics. It is also the most direct detection of black holes ever. The featured illustration depicts the two merging black holes with the signal strength of the two detectors over 0.3 seconds superimposed across the bottom. Expected future detections by Advanced LIGO and other gravitational wave detectors may not only confirm the spectacular nature of this measurement but hold tremendous promise of giving humanity a new way to see and explore our universe.

Gave this pangolin 45 mins last night. Been avoiding it for months--was saving it for oils. But I needed to draw, even if it was quick. One pencil (4B), no erasing, no blending, no glasses. Just marks and motion. Sometimes the sketch is the real piece. The oil will come. #sciart #pencil

Detailed graphite sketch of a pangolin in grass, drawn in a pocket sketchbook with a Pentel Graphgear 1000 .5mm mechanical pencil. No erasing or blending.

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

A realistic graphite drawing of a Barbary striped grass mouse with distinct dark stripes, perched on a piece of heavily textured bark. The mouse is alert, and the shading is soft and blended. The drawing is in an open sketchbook with pencils nearby.

A pair of these colorful earrings would make a fine budget-conscious Valentine's Day treat for a math-loving person in your life. Each is a projection to real 3-space of the image of the complex unit disk under the mapping
\[
t \mapsto (t^{2}, t^{3}, t^{5}).
\]

Shipping within the contiguous US normally takes no more than 5 business days. Through February 14, use the code Math26 at checkout for 15% off all my nylon earring designs.

I also have specially-priced delicate versions---loosely, the image of the unit circle under the same mapping---in natural and polished bronze, and one pair in rhodium-plated brass.

Ah! I see it's #PortfolioDay! I'm an artist working with code, data, mixed media, and ink on watercolor paper.

Much of my inspiration comes from Science, Math, and Nature.

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

#intro I've got zero cred. Am a curious human being interested in #science #art #sciart #quilting #textiles #textileart #connections and all the ensuing interactions.

I have no idea why anyone wants to follow me (yes, I might have issues with #ImposterSyndrome). I tend to be a little slow to follow back, but if you chat with me, chances are much better that I will follow back. <3

Painted this northern hawk owl after it made a surprise visit to our city. Got lost in its eyes and those stripes. Watercolor in an A6 Etchr sketchbook, Golden paints, Art Toolkit palette. Referenced a photo by Harry Foster. Quiet but somehow loud inside. #bird #sciart
