Illustration du soir, bonsoir

Ici, il s'agit d'une Ombrette africaine (Scopus umbretta), oiseau dont la tête a un peu la forme d'une enclume.

La douceur feutrée des crayons aquarellables qui glissent sur le papier est l'une des choses que je préfère.

Still getting the hang of this new shop platform. I was really spoiled by how easy etsy made everything, until they didn't.

Oh well. Here's another sticker in my shop. This one is inspired by Chemistry, and I programmed a particle system to create the image.

I haven't been wanting to post any of my art for sale in the past months. I keep waiting for 'better timing'. But it's unlikely to be better for a while.

So, I'm going to start with stickers made from my hand drawn pieces. This one is a bit bigger than I expected, but I still love it. It's bundled with a set of my Chemistry inspired art postcards.

I finally took a proper photo of my summer-themed mitosis sampler (2024). I’m writing a pattern for this one in four season colourways so watch for that in a few months!

#SciArt #embroidery #MedSky

For #BrainAwarenessWeek I’m sharing my brainiest #SciArt #embroidery pieces. Here’s woman in skull (2016), not a brain per se, but the part of the skull where the brain sits, imagined as an architectural space.

Happy birthday to botanist & photography trailblazer Anna Atkins (1799-1871), née Children!

Atkins’ mother died when she was still an infant, but she was close with her naturalist father & received a much more scientific education than was common for women in her time. Her 250 detailed engravings of shells were used to illustrate her father’s translation of Lamarck’s ‘Genera of Shells’; 1/n

Hello from Aurora Bear! Beneath the sky’s celestial flare, A bear is born from fire and air. Reds and greens in frozen flight, A whisper of the Northern Lights #art #ceramics #gaybear #furryart #sciart

From our recent raku firing, The Cosmic Forge Born of fire, veiled in night, Holding echoes, stars ignite. Embers dance in spectral hues, A vessel where the cosmos brews. #sciart #space #magic

For #BrainAwarenessWeek I’m sharing my brainiest #SciArt #embroidery pieces. Here’s neuraesthenia (2017), a piece depicting the heaviness I feel during post-exertional malaise (PEM). PEM often starts in my cognition then spreads out through my body.

Hello Mastodon!
I'm Diane, an illustrator specializing in the medical and scientific fields ​

I draw anatomical pictures for doctors, diagrams for biomed companies, animals and plants for museums, and lots of other things...

But I also have my own little universe, somewhere between fantasy and science fiction, and a desire to experiment with traditional techniques.

Lots of things I can't wait to share with you! Here's just a sample...

Mercury, final prompt for #printerSolstice2425, made me think of #alchemy. It is an element the alchemists favoured & felt was fundamental in their efforts to transmute base into precious metals, both in western & Chinese alchemy (from whence western alchemy emerged).

This is my #linocut portrait of an #alchemist known as Master Geng (before ~975, 耿先生; Gěng Xiānshēng, sometimes Kêng Hsien-shêng). 1/n

#WIPWednesday • I finished stitching my heart/vagus piece but need to wash and wet block it. I’ve only just started my next project so I’ll share that next week!

#SciArt #embroidery #MedSky

For #BrainAwarenessWeek I’m sharing my brainiest #SciArt #embroidery pieces. Here’s a detail from the wandering ghost (2024), my piece about the vagus nerve and my experiences with polyvagal theory.

This #MarshMadness critter is a crimson marsh glider (Trithemis aurora). Dragonflies are some of the most effective predators on the planet, snatching prey right out of the air with an up to 97% success rate. Each of their four wings can operate independently, making them strong, agile fliers. They also utilize a trick called "motion camouflage." Instead of flying straight towards their target, they keep in line with its path (even anticipating future moves), making them appear stationary even as they approach.

'Phoenix Rising' is a raku vase for these times. A little crack, but not broken through, Still standing strong, still burning true. The world may shake, the sky may fall, The Phoenix Rises—through it all. #sciart #resist Take good care of yourself during these troubled times.

Sometimes, updating a Data Art piece is just too much of an emotional drain. And the piece must remain out of date.

But to be honest, that's part of the piece itself.

How Big is 400,000? https://kristinhenry.github.io/howBig/
