This linocut print rusty-patched bumble bee (Bombus affinis) is a pollinator native to North America & was common here in Ontario as recently as 1980s. It is now sadly on the brink of extinction, designated federal Species at Risk in Canada & Endangered in US. #SciArtTweetStorm
This is an important local leafcutter bee, Megachile relativa. Because Megachille bees do not make honey, people don’t know them, though it is one of the largest genera of bees, with > 500 species in over 50 subgenera, & important role in pollinisation. #SciArtTweetStorm
Meet the Agapostemon Sericeus or sweat bee. It is metallic, iridescent, blue-green (though males have black and white or yellow stripes on their abdomens), and doesn't live in a hive. These are solitary bees. They are friends in my garden #SciArtTweetStorm
This is an important local bee, Osmia Lignaria, known as the orchard mason bee, or blue orchard bee, in a lino block print with gorgeous, irridecent, translucent non-woven blue and gossamer-like white silk tissue washi chine collé #SciArtTweetStorm
Here’s a trio of my botanical illustrations for today’s #SciArtTweetStorm

Eeee! #SciArtTweetStorm is definitely worth perusing 🙌🏻💕
I wish I were more of a scientist, I wish I were a better artist, but I’m working on both 🐸
Few frog species from one of the richest biodiversity hotspot Western Ghats, India.

I basically call everything I make #sciart because I don’t see how you can separate science from the rest of life ... or imagination #SciArtTweetStorm
So I heard there is a #SciArt tweetstorm happening. So I am going to post these sketches (3 first plates) and illustration (4) of some Neotropical frogs. I really enjoy depicting extant amphibians but hardly ever get commissioned to do so.
A selection of illustrations for #SciArtTweetStorm. Love following the sci artists & scientific illustrators from this hashtag!
Sorry for my absence. I am 2 signatures away from PhD conferral & have transitioned well into my new fulltime job, but life is busy & tiring atm ❤
Someone said #SciArtTweetStorm? Well howdy, I like drawing animals. Since it's also #FossilFriday enjoy these reconstructed dead things.
Taking a leap into Day 2 of #SciArtTweetStorm

Again stirring #sciart during #SciArtTweetStorm with some imagery that I have created during my path in this field and that never saw the light. Be gentle with your comments. Still learning ;)
This is a diagram I created for @KarenKapheim and collaborators' paper on alkali #bees. They needed to give context to the experimental design and show which life stages were tested. #scientificillustration is a great way to do that!

Today, for the first time in my life, I attempted to draw a crab.
This little critter is Coenobita perlatus.

For the first day of the #SciArtTweetStorm let me take you back to one of my first visits to @HarvardMuseum of Natural History. Here's my long study of their Kronosaur.

Sometimes being a #MedicalIllustrator means drawing....frog, insect, and octopus brains. I drew this for the book "Consciousness Demystified" by Drs. Feinberg and Mallatt. #SciArtTweetStorm #ComparativeAnatomy
