Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientistβ€”because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Character study of a possum cowboy. In each study, the possum examines himself in the mirror, plays the harmonica, is startled, falls toward a cactus, plays dead, and holds his tail anxiously.

Been pretty heads down working on a picture book dummy, but managed to pull together something for #kidlitartpostcard! Here's a character study of my anxious possum son.

Open to PB and book cover projects!!

An art postcard of a red-haired boy clinging to a selkie skin in a swirl of blue waves and seafoam. Fish jump around him. A hand reaches out to pull him free. The text reads, "Julian Plum," and "author-illustrator, julianplum.com, hello@julianplum.com"

List of 100 things Reagan loves to draw. The image is illustrated in a medieval, illuminated-text style. There are flourishes, floral details, hand-lettered text, little hidden critters, and many other details. There is also a portrait of Reagan drawing at her desk with her two cats, Cash and Jasper. There is also the full written list of 100 things ranging from mythical creatures to autumn leaves to cozy clothing.

Can you tell I've been fascinated by illuminated manuscripts lately? ✨ I'm obsessed with decorative borders, and I'd LOVE to illustrate a book in this style. #kidlitartpostcard

A snippet of a lush, leaf-filled gouache painting showing a grasshopper sparrow sitting on a gray birch branch. It holds a chunky grasshopper in its short beak. Surrounding the bird are fading sundial lupine flowers with emerging seedpods, pink corydalis, and bright yellow partridge pea flowers.

Snippet of a gouache painting showing a green lacewing flying away from its dangling eggs laid on a milkweed leaf. Its transparent wings overlay a lush green background and a bright pink eastern wahoo fruit. Brown maleberry seeds cascade down from the right toward a puff of downy white milkweed seeds flying into the air.

Bright gouache painting of orange glowing mushrooms, Omphalotus illudens, on a forest floor against a dark night sky. The mushrooms are covered in the insects that feed on them: snails and ants, flies and dark beetles.

Gouache painting of a forest floor and the soil beneath it. The ground is bursting with Lactarius and saffron milky cap mushrooms, whose mycelia are entwined beneath the soil with the parasitic root ball of the ghost pipe flower. Lacking chlorophyll, the white flowers stand out against the lush green background. A spring peeper and an eastern red newt greet each other from atop mushrooms. Worms wriggle under the earth.
