shop update is live! here's what I've got for you this time:

• frosted fishing lure and dolphin trainer charms

• new vinyl stickers + 2 new bumper stickers

• 2 new lanyards + restocked oarfish and sea depths lanyards

• mini acrylic pins and charms

• mystery isopod gacha (great if you missed the preorder last month!)

a couple restocks have been added to the site like my sparkly pigeons and some old acrylic designs - this is my slightly late to the party pride update, and along with the pride designs I'm still donating 5% of profits this month to local queer orgs. get some fun treats and help support a good cause!

when I was like 10 I used to draw this garfield-style serial comic about a copepod and a siphonophore making fun of human relics on the seafloor. it was mostly very bad and I don't know what happened to it. this is a recreation of the only installment I remember.

I was feeling agitated and artblocked yesterday so I decided to give my brain a rest by watching TV and then the next thing I knew these were in front of me

[mugene-art]

I’ve been holding onto these originals since I switched to my current website, but would love to offer them up at a discount this month to help raise some money alongside everything else in my shop for local queer organizations. These pieces are very special to me and long to hang on a wall! Added them to their own section on the shop here

ouuhgh syntrophic girlfriends....

is it gay if your prototrophic facultative anaerobe neighbor gives cysteine to your auxotrophic obligate anaerobe ass after consuming the monosaccharides released by your glycoside hydrolases and respiring oxygen to create a favorable anaerobic environment ?!?

e. coli and b. longum are wlw bc i said so (based on this e. coli/b. bifidum preprint, which im gonna headcanon onto b. longum since it also degrades 2'FL and requires cysteine like b. bifidum)

Hey hello! So recently I passed my human anatomy exam. It was really stressful because of how hard it was, but I was enjoying this class so much, it was all worth it! (Also successfully passing the exam didn't stop me from making several mistakes with anatomy in this drawing haha)
