  1. It's #InternationalPolychaeteDay! Polychaetes are also called Bristle Worms and most species live in the ocean. There are over 10,000 species known.

    To celebrate, here are some Gossamer Worm keychains I made for #InsertAnInvert2024. The segments are jointed so they wiggle!

  9. Finally the last #InsertAnInvert2024 keyring design, Velvet Worms! The prompt was Peripatopsis capensis, which is the black/brown one, but I'm doing some color variations for fun.

    (Yes, I will take a group shot at some point. And get them all listed on my Etsy shop.)

  13. Dunno if anyone still follows the tag, but I finally got my #InsertAnInvert2024 Flower Hat Jelly (not actually a jellyfish) printed! It required me to get my Multi-material setup, uh, set up. (I had already planned to do so over the holidays.)

    Two more designs to go!

  17. For the final #InsertAnInvert2024 prompt “diving” and for #invertefest this is a hand-printed of the Paroster pallescens beetle, surface diving water beetle from Australia. It is printed on 8” x 8” Japanese paper.

    Paroster is a genus of beetles in the family Dytiscidae. I really liked the look of this beetle and the amazing diversity of this genus of Australian diving beetles!

  19. For #insertAnInvert a print about how monarch butterflies who are fooled into laying eggs on the invasive dog-strangling vine (European swallowwort, Vincetoxicum rossicum) due to its similarities to its host plant milkweed are cursed to hatch larvae which starve and die. Dog-strangling vine unlike milkweed doesn’t serve as a food source for the caterpillars, 🧵1/n

  21. A 2024 invertebrate print for #invertefest: made for the deepest prompt of #InsertAnInvert2024, hadal - which refers to the deepest ocean trenches 6 km or more, it’s the headless chicken monster!

    This is a lino block print of a strange-looking sea cucumber called Enypniastes eximia, the swimming sea cucumber, the pink see-through fantasia or the headless chicken monster!🧵

  23. Another 2024 print for #insertAnInvert: made for the #InsertAnInvert2024 prompt is crawler, about shellfish who can drag themselves over surface like the spectacularly coloured lined chitons (Tonicella lineata), beautiful, tiny marine mollusc of the North Pacific. I don’t usually make reduction prints but I think I might otherwise loose my mind trying to capture the complex patterns.

This is a wandering sea anemone (Phlyctenactis tuberculosa) or swimming anemone, is a species of venomous sea anemone in the family Actiniidae native to sheltered reefs of shallow seas around Australia and New Zealand/Aotearoa. 🧵1/n

  32. For the #InsertAnInvert2024 prompt flyer, #artadventCalendar and #invertefest this final week of the year: my kaleidoscope of butterflies. Kaleidoscope is the wonderful name or term of venery for a group of butterflies so I designed this print to match the symmetrical images you can see in a kaleidoscope. There are three each of the orange Isabella’s Longwings (Nymphalidae Eueides isabella), 🧵1/2

    Probably won't get these last 3 designs printed and finalized until January, but at least the initial design are done before the end of the year.

  38. Day 15 #ArtAdventCalendar: The third #InsertAnInvert2024 prompt for deep sea month is abyssal - the lightless, extreme pressure and low oxygen zone 4 to 6 km below the surface. So I made a lino block print of a charming Grimpoteuthis octopus, one of a genus of pelagic cirrate (finned) octopods known as the dumbo octopuses. The fins reminded scientists of ears on the elephant in Disney’s 1941 film Dumbo. 🧵1/2

    Velvet worms (phylum: Onychophora) are named for their velvet-like texture and somewhat wormlike appearance. They are elongate, soft-bodied, many-legged nocturnal animals who spit slime to trap prey, somewhere between worms and arthropods. 🧵1/n

    The "white" will be translucent, so you'll be able to see the orangish inner structure. It's gonna be a PITA to print, so we'll see how it goes.
