you know what, let's use this to share our etsy shops that DO NOT HAVE ANY AI SLOP

me and @fionatel.bsky.social have a shop with science and dinosaur themed curios, and are moving our tshirts to Teemill (US shipping soon!) because etsy shirts are 95% slop right now

that Sunday mood when I'm hiding in the cold corner of the house, with a grassy scented candle, coloring in the example #TheIntrovertebrates coloring book for @dinoconuk.bsky.social, while watching my friend's unhinged RimWorld all mods enabled playthrough.
a #SciArt coloring page full of variously shaped ammonited in yellow, red, light and dark blue, with a laptop on the screen showing a RimWorld encampment, and a light green candle called "potting shed" in the upper right corner.

Thinking of posters to put on our #TheIntrovertebrates table at Lyme Regis #FossilFestival in June because the world is bananas and paleoart is suffering more than most #SciArt from the garbage...

bling for that bloodsucker in your life 🦟🩸

(trying out some #SciArt designs for #TheIntrovertebrates Etsy shop)
two wooden earrings resting on my palm, they have silver hoop attachments, the design is a semi-realistic drawing of an Anopheles mosquito, fuzzy wings with black dots, and a very red abdomen full of blood, with a blood droplet at the end (mosquitoes "pee" the blood out so they don't overheat)
