Happy birthday to #mathematician, aeronautical #engineer, philanthropist and Cherokee ‘hidden figure’ of the space race: Mary Golda Ross (1908-2008).⁠ ⁠ Great-great-granddaughter of Chief John Ross, who was forced to lead his people on the Trail of Tears, Ross attributed her success in math to the Cherokee tradition of encouraging equal education for boys and girls. 🧵1/ https://minouette.etsy.com/listing/634592877 #printmaking #sciart #womenInSTEM #Indigineer #SpaceRace #planetaryScience #linocut #mastoArt

My 25 years of palaeoart chronology... In 2019 I built a life-size Protoichthyosaurus for Lapworth Museum (University of Birmingham). It was partly built in my workshop and partly open to public view in the museum. Here's the built Part 3. #Art #Painting #PaleoArt #PalaeoArt #SciArt #SciComm #DigitalArt #Illustration #Dinosaurs #Birds #Reptiles #Palaeontology #Paleontology #Ichthyosaur

My 25 years of palaeoart chronology... Hereeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees KEVIN! In 2019 I created a copy of my life-size Ichthyostega model, for Reading University's Cole Museum. They named him Kevin. #Art #Painting #PaleoArt #PalaeoArt #SciArt #SciComm #DigitalArt #Illustration #Dinosaurs #Birds #Reptiles #Palaeontology #Paleontology #Ichthyostega

My 25 years of palaeoart chronology... In 2020 I illustrated LOCKED IN TIME, written by Dr Dean Lomax. Here's my "Portrait of malignance" painting, depicting a Telmatosaurus with an ameloblastoma on its lower jaw. https://cup.columbia.edu/book/locked-in-time/9780231197281 #Art #Painting #PaleoArt #PalaeoArt #SciArt #SciComm #DigitalArt #Illustration #Dinosaurs #Birds #Reptiles #Palaeontology #Paleontology

It is exciting to see snippets of Surviving Earth coming out from Impossible Pictures (see: https://www.instagram.com/picturesimpossible/) One of the clips released features Arctodus, the "short faced bear", here is my official design sheet, which was used by the production team. #Art #Painting #PaleoArt #PalaeoArt #SciArt #SciComm #DigitalArt #Illustration #Palaeontology #Paleontology #SurvivingEarth #ImpossiblePictures #Arctodus #ShortFacedBear #TheDinosaurs #Dinosaurs

I never actually posted the full version of this one! I've only colored two of my stained glass moths so far, but I'm very pleased with how this one turned out. Luna moth (Actias luna) #moth #stainedGlass #digitalArt #sciArt #inverteFest

Happy birthday to trailblazing American computer scientist Frances Elizabeth Allen (1932 – 2020) who made foundational contributions to optimizing compilers, optimizing programs and parallel computing. She was the first woman to become an IBM Fellow, where she worked from 1957 to 2002 and as an emeritus fellow afterwards. She was the first woman to win the Turing Prize. 🧵1/ https://minouette.etsy.com/listing/1086564033 #printmaking #womenInSTEM #histSTM #computing #mathematician #sciart #compsci

I designed the typefaces to suggest the meaning of the words. “Parliament” is in a gothic script. “Owls” has an owl eye for ‘o’ and the remaining letters are feathered. The owls are, right to left and top to bottom: the Eastern screech, Northern saw-whet, long-eared, Barred, Great Horned and the American Barn owls. https://minouette.etsy.com/listing/4337673774 🧵2/2 #linocut #printmaking #sciart #owls #typography #termsOfVenery #screechOwl #GreatHornedOwl #BarnOwl #InternationalOwlAwarenessDay

In today's #inkyDays drawing, I'm experimenting with combining my mushroom motif with my inclusions pattern. Hmmm....not too bad. #ink #drawing #art #mushrooms #fungi #SciArt
