spotlighting the frog & ginkgo jacket a little 🐸✨ this design is especially sentimental to me: last year, i lost 4 of my 6 whites tree frogs over the course of almost a year to a really bad bacterial infection. this design is very much my tribute to the whole colony and the frogs i miss so so much. im still really heartbroken about it all but im excited to share this piece of them with everyone!! each frog in the design corresponds to one of the 6 :)
I painted these whites tree frogs in watercolors! I also included some progress photos to show a bit of the process. :) this painting is looking for a home.
hello tumblr I’m a frog scientist and I heard you like frogs here so I’m here to share frog content if that’s okay
my first contribution is to inform you all that Carl Linnaeus hated frogs. Like, really hated them:
"These foul and loathsome animals are abhorrent because of their cold body, pale color, cartilaginous skeleton, filthy skin, fierce aspect, calculating eye, offensive smell, harsh voice, squalid habitation, and terrible venom; and so their Creator has not exerted his powers to make more of them." - Carl Linnaeus, Systema Naturae 1758 (Translated from Latin)
idk what went down between Linnaeus and a frog but dude was traumatised
also here is a photo of one of my science frogs, his name is Granny
