Very early this year (I am quite slow to post work haha), I had the pleasure to work with @hydro-adrienne.bsky.social to create this illustration showing how energy infrastructure interacts with the water cycle.

The Day the Sun Dies (You’ve Never Seen It Like This) 4K YouTube video by New Nature

New video alert! The Day the Sun Dies.
Featuring another beautiful artwork by the brilliant @elabarts.bsky.social #science #heliophysics

Loved working on this piece for @newnature.bsky.social 's video about the end of our Sun's life!

Thank you for checking out the show!

Digital painting of covalent bonds in helium hydride (HeH+) and hydrogen (H2+) molecules. On the left is a ball-and stick representation, on the right a version that emphasizes the electron clouds.

Looking through an exhibit of illustrations by @elabarts.bsky.social at the Pacific Grove Museum of Natural History, it was neat to see a @jenchristiansen.com credit.

Visualizing the atomic scale is challenging!

Im absolutely thrilled for this park and I’m loving seeing all the features and murals coming to life!

A graphic showing two sand mounds. One is a pile of sand, labeled 'dry sand' while the other is a sand castle labeled 'wet sand'. Two pop ups showing a close up view of the sand grains are positioned next to each mound. The 'wet sand' pop up shows rings of water around sand grains.

While at @newsela.bsky.social, I was usually tasked with creating simple but clear graphics to explain certain concepts with minimal text. I also tried to make them usable for a wide range of grades.

I want to live in an America that has a living wage for every person

I want to live in an America where you have free speech to express yourself and not be afraid of being put on a list or deported.

Check out this awesome video about the future of our Sun! Thanks @newnature.bsky.social for letting me design the thumbnail art!

thank you so much!!!

Thank you so much!!

I love a good cross section

LOLOLOL it's gonna blow!

thank you!!

might offer some freeze protection!

there needs to be a candy corn emoji - for geology purposes

😂 i'd wait for it to cool down before ingesting

A cartoon illustration of a slice of Earth. A volcano sits on top of an inverted pyramid shape with four different layers. The bottom is a solid yellow tip. The second layer is a liquid. The third layer is a red putty. And the top layer represents a solid rocky texture.

I decided to make another, more fun slice of Earth (though probably not the most accurate).

A graphic illustrating the different layers of Earth and their theorized textures. The inner core is solid. The outer core flows like honey. The mantle is a softer solid. The Asthenosphere is a putty-like solid. The lithosphere is a crumbling solid.

I've always been fascinated by Earth's interior and how scientists have described their textures. I decided to make my own slice while at @newsela.bsky.social. #geology, #earth, #platetectonics
