Verneuil's masterful touch with pen and ink inspires my own work with dinosaurs - he made the "ugly" and "creepy" world of invertebrates into beautiful objects of art.

This is one of a series of prints about/made in collaboration with leaf cutter bees! Along with linocuts of 2 species, Megachile breves and Megachile relativa, I printed actual leaves and petals I gathered with the telltale half-moon cut pieces they use in nests.

Wowie! It's I may not draw much non furry art of my favorite spineless friends but you can bet your exoskeletons I try to draw as many funky anthro fellows as I can. More inverts in furry, they're so fun and creative! 🪲🐛✨
