what if ahab got to be a little cosmic horror? as a treat? (more art from a few months ago because i’m so good at posting)

(ID: several black and white ink drawings of ahab from moby dick.

the first image is a full body drawing, and shows him hunched over wiping ink that’s spilling out of his mouth from his face while holding a harpoon. his eyes are cast in shadow, but what we can see of his expression is dangerous and angry. his form fades into shadow at the bottom of his coat. from the shadowy coat, both his live leg in a boot and his whalebone prosthetic leg are seen, as well as several squid tentacles protruding. there is a silhouette of the full squid behind him, and it melds with his form — it becomes unclear whether the tentacles are coming from Ahab or from the squid.

the second image has two bust drawings of ahab. most of his face is still in shadow, but he is looking at the viewer with a snarl, and we can still see ink stains spilling from his nose and mouth down his chin and onto his coat. the shadows and his snarl deepen in the second drawing. sideways handwriting on the side of the image reads “God help thee, old man; thy thoughts have created a creature in thee.”

the third image is a drawing of both squid-Ahab and starbuck, both from the waist up. they are embracing, ahab with a firm hand on starbuck’s upper arm, and leaning into each other, almost kissing. ahab is smiling mischievously, and starbuck’s face is in a reverent smile. the black ink is dripping from both their mouths down their chins. tentacles are pulling starbuck closer to ahab. behind ahab is a sketchy halo.

ahab has forgone his coat and is wearing a collared shirt and waistcoat. starbuck is wearing a dark blazer.

the fourth image is a pencil sketch of Ahab in profile, grinning, with tentacles and dripping ink drawn in front of him.)

Blackwater Dive

2024, hand bleached and dyed denim, cotton batting and thread

inspired by blackwater photography of plankton! this was my first time layering bleach painting. All the silhouettes were painted with bleaching gel, loosely tie dyed, and then bleached again to make the highlights. I quilted the piece using my free motion foot to outline each individual animal and tacked down the rest of the quilt with small satin stitches that remind me of marine snow. I dyed bias tape to match. super happy with this one and excited to show it in a gallery setting soon!

One weirdly specific interest I have is Japanese Sea Creature merchandise. Anyone wanna buy me a Coelacanth Soy sauce bottle. An Isopod Keychain. A squid backpack light. A fishy squishy. Please

I'm a squid biologist on a mission

To bring squid facts to you. To your friends. To your neighbors. To some random dude named Brad who you've never met.

How? The Squid Facts Project. It's a street art campaign and hotline that texts folks squid facts!

Only snag in this hair-brained plan is that texting people is kiiinda expensive. So! I teamed up with Philly artist Corey Danks to sell shirts to keep the hotline running. Every one of those shirt dollars helps deliver squid facts to people.

Like, over 70,000 people over the last year!!! Isn't that wild?

So anyway. Get a shirt. They're cool, *and* they keep people learning about squid. It's a beautiful thing.

Also, the backs have the squid facts hotline on them so by wearing these you're helping people learn about squid too.

If you can't buy one, give us a reblog. I run a small science education nonprofit called Skype a Scientist, we're scrappy but trying so hard!!

Deep-sea mom life

For decades, marine biologists assumed that all squids laid their eggs in clusters on the seafloor, where the eggs developed and hatched without any help from their parents. However, MBARI scientists discovered that some female deep-sea squid, like this Gonatus onyx, brood their eggs by carrying them between their arms until the young hatch and swim away. ⁠ ⁠ Gonatus females will have approximately 2,000 to 3,000 eggs in a sheath between their arms for as long as nine months. During this time they are unable to feed and must rely on stored fats from previous meals. This observation of the first known parental care behavior by squid was also an important discovery made possible by the use of MBARI’s remotely operated vehicles.
