Day 11 #SciArtSeptember prompt venomous: my linocut of a Portuguese Man o’ War floating at the surface of the sea on white 9.25” by 12.5” Japanese kozo (or mulberry) paper.

These are beautiful but deadly creatures, also known as bluebottles, resemble jellyfish but are actually colonial organisms called siphonophores. They are made up of many genetically identical zooids which each perform different roles. 🧵

A few of my ocean creatures for #WorldOceanDay. We call this planet Earth but it is more than 70% ocean; the continents and islands are the exception not the rule on what is mainly an ocean planet. The oceans are the biggest biosphere, a huge driver of climate, a major source of food, medicine, life and livelihood for many. 🧵1/n

Working on my next #PrinterSolstice print for the prompt analogous colours - a Portuguese man o’ war in turquoise, blue & violet. A beautiful #siphonophore translucent & floating, neither a jellyfish nor in fact a single animal, but a colonial organism made up of genetically identical zooids which each perform different roles. It’s filled with venomous microscope nematocysts which can kill fish & even occasionally a person.
