<<<< BIG BIG MODELS ❤️

if we're showing off bug models! heres some from when i visited my fiancee in vienna, the natural history museum had (has?) a temp exhibit about creatures that live in the soil and all the environmental stuff around it, and there were some very good models too (plus some bonus slug sex that was in their normal bugs section)

now THAT is awesome. i love large scale insect models. so so cool, these are some really good ones

My little test model has become my son, and now I fear I must finish it before I can move on to the big one

Used vodka rather than water in my relaxing chamber for this stubborn specimen. Relieved it worked so well, I didn't want to start injecting it with stuff :)

I'm itching to do beetle studies again, I forget how nice it is to just sketch.

This was the beginnings of a sculpture project for Buglife's Scottish team :)

Me and my gf (I'm the weevil)

long distance relationship

"People on the side of The People always ended up disappointed, in any case. They found that The People tended not to be grateful or appreciative or forward-thinking or obedient. The People tended to be small-minded and conservative and not very clever and were even distrustful of cleverness. And so, the children of the revolution were faced with the age-old problem: it wasn’t that you had the wrong kind of government, which was obvious, but that you had the wrong kind of people. As soon as you saw people as things to be measured, they didn’t measure up."
