I am choosing a blue background. Blue for clear skies and a purpose free of obfuscation.

A beautiful bee with its head down focused on the yellow center of a Montauk daisy. The daisy is mostly flat with just a few crisp white petals fanning upward making a perfect sunny stage for the bee.

Illustrated this poster to commemorate the 2026 Entomological Society of America meeting in Columbus, OH next week! These are limited edition 9x12 posters, signed and numbered by yours truly! I have them up on my shop now if you’d like to make sure you get one. More details in the alt text! :)
image description: A white hand is holding a poster to commemorate the 2026 Entomological Society of America (“EntSoc26”) meeting in Columbus, Ohio in front of a blurry planted background. I illustrated the poster in a style reminiscent of art nouveau and kept the palette restrained to pink and orange tones. There’s a pink spotted lady beetle adult and larva in the foreground and polished lady beetle and soybean aphids in the background. The larva is standing on the leaf of a hornbeam copperleaf, though the others are all standing on soybean plants. additional information about the poster design can be found in the alt text for the next image. image description: This is a poster that I illustrated to commemorate the 2026 Entomological Society of America (“EntSoc26”) meeting in Columbus, Ohio this November!

There’s a pink spotted lady beetle adult and larva in the foreground and polished lady beetle and soybean aphids in the background. The larva is standing on the leaf of a hornbeam copperleaf, though the others are all standing on a soybean plant. —end image description, additional information to follow: I’m focusing this series on the “state insect” for the state in which the meeting is held. With this year’s meeting in Ohio, who’s state insect is designated broadly as a “ladybug” — Coccinellidae of no specific species, I selected two native-to-North-America-and-found-in-Ohio species of lady beetles. I focused primarily on the pink spotted lady beetle, Coleomegilla maculata, who makes an appearance on this poster both as an adult and larva. In the background I also included a polished lady beetle, Cycloneda munda! Last year, I included the host plant alongside the Oregon state butterfly but, with a predator insect this year, I felt the need to go a step further. In this illustration, the pink spotted lady beetle larva is standing on the leaf of a native weed, the hornbeam copperleaf plant (Acalypha ostryifolia), which recent research has shown to be frequent location of oviposition, though the plant in particular often hosts no prey insects. The adult lady beetles are standing on a soybean plant (Glycine max) hosting soybean aphids (Aphis glycines)— an invasive crop pest who are additionally featured here as a delicious prey insect for the lady beetles. Although these beetles are often found wherever prey insects can be found, I chose to illustrate the beetles on soybeans in particular as soybeans are Ohio’s driving agricultural crop. This is a desk scene showing the poster illustration in progress. A hairy white right arm is holding an apple pen up to an iPad with the illustration program Procreate open on the screen. The screen displays an earlier unfinished version of the previously described Entomological Society of America poster, a reference frame with an image of plant leaves, and the program’s brush menu. The iPad is on the left side of the photo. To the right of the arm is a desk rug shaped like a stick of butter. Still on the desk, above the butter rug, lays an orange cat facing away from the camera. A backlit black keyboard is behind the orange cat on the desk. Everything in the scene is sitting on a pale purple desk mat with paint marks from previous projects scattered over the surface. The desk is a darker brown wood that peeks out from under the mat.

I have something new in the works. I'm exploring both hexes and insects with this piece. Persistence is the theme I have in mind.

A highly motivated harlequin beetle, an intentionally introduced species of ladybug from Asia that was released to control aphids and mealybugs. I’ve read that they will bite and become so over populated they may invade houses. #bugsky #ECK #inverts #insects #ladybugs #nature #ladybirds
