Life is imminent

Weekend WIP, the great black digger wasp! Not mentally prepared in the slightest for the workweek. Art is all my brain desires. 🙃 #SciArt #art #Entomology

Be Nice to Bugs Day! Finally an internet holiday I can contribute to! :) Bugs are ~80% of what I paint. #art #SciArt #Entomology

So many of us eeking out existence as best we can around symptoms, in a culture that keeps devaluing our work and our lives and gutting the benefit system, and I'm meant to be GRATEFUL that our work is being stolen and fed into a water/power-guzzling grinder so tech bros can pretend to be artists!?

It particularly drives me mad when they claim AI allows disabled people into the industry...a large % of the arts industry (like me) ARE disabled, and work as freelance creatives in large part because we aren't accommodated in 'regular' work environments. AI is taking away our only available income.

imagine how much great art could have been created if we took a fraction of the money spent on getting computers to make shitty art and gave it to actual artists

"You should make art today" A comic about the internal struggle to motivate yourself to make some art

Not always...but often.

The Mind of an Artist ---------------------------------- Thousands of people: Your work is amazing! We love you! More please! Artist: They just want to make me feel better. One rando: You suck! Artist: Finally! The truth!

Published! Herbivore-induced defense protein in honeydew found to improve fitness of natural enemies. Read the story behind this graphical abstract I illustrated for authors of: besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.... Commissions: Lindzeamays.com #Science #SciArt #art #Entomology

Another short crack at this to end a lovely long summer weekend. There's such beauty in nature's seemingly chaotic complexity. I know I will never capture it perfectly, but I love the meditative process of trying anyway. Chaos is so darn beautiful. #SciArt #nature #plants #biology #art

🎨 Just finished this watercolor of a dragonfly next to its shed exoskeleton, symbolizing transformation. Did you know dragonflies have nearly 360-degree vision? Also, breaking in a new waterbrush made detailing tough! #sciart

💯 True hero shit

if you’re commissioning someone and they give you prices that are too low you can absolutely just say “no, i’m giving you more money than that” and you fucking should

Do you know a kid who likes laughing and bugs? Preorder my new picture book, THERE ARE NO ANTS IN THIS BOOK, out July 17, with art by the brilliant Anna Pirolli! www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/710556...

Returning to this watercolor ambush bug. Taking it slow, appreciating details, aiming for realism. Insects with raptorial legs are intriguing. They somehow appear both bashful & vigilantly poised - which is coded as incredibly cute in my brain. 🥺 #SciArt #art #entomology #biology

🌿 Flora and Fauna of the NJ Pine Barrens 🌿 Watercolor and gouache commission for a retiring entomologist at work. Leaned into the bright color pallete and it makes me happy ^-^ #SciArt #entomology #plantscience #insects

Last one for now. Lindsey makes wonderful SciArt themed artworks of all kinds, especially insects. She has a very cool mantis themed work you should go browse for, but this was my favourite recent piece!

Mossy undergrowth study. First acrylic in a long time and I'm not disappointed 💚🌿 Working on building an undergrowth series for display at eventual art markets. Prints available soon at: Lindzeamays.com/printshop #art #artsky #SciArt #blueskynightmarket

Finally got around to updating this thing! Commission inquiries, prints, stickers at: Lindzeamays.com #SciArt #art #entomology

Who's steering this ship? #insect #pets

Praying mantis 💙

Delighted to be boarding some fine lil fellas this summer for a science teacher. You best believe we are giving them an Extreme Tankover Roach Edition. #insects #pets

Very cozy hikes around Pinnacle, NC. While the views were fantastic, I was most excited to find a yellow and black flat millipede and many fan clubmoss in the undergrowth. Lycophytes like clubmoss are among the most ancient surviving lineage vascular plants. Living fossils! #hiking

MOTH. NIGHT.

Wanna gently look at moths under a microscope, listen for some bats above, and tell a beetle they're doing a good job, SUCH a good job? You should come to moth night. Only half the spots are left and I just opened a third date (July 27th) so get on it! givebutter.com/PC0VZX

Bombardier beetle I made for SciArt September in 2022 but never shared. #insertaninvert #entomology #art 🐡
