First, thanks so much for all the kind comments about my manta ray painting! I loved painting this lovely creature. Second... some exciting news. I hope you'll come exploring with me as a Founding Member of the #OceanDevotion Mail Club! www.oceandevotion.studio/mailclub #scicomm

I'm making this decision tonight, so let's have more votes! If you'd prefer to see another marine or coastal creature, what is it? #OceanDevotion Due to request, I've left the signups for the 1st Edition: Manta Ray open until midnight EDT tonight! HARD DEADLINE! www.oceandevotion.studio/mailclub

The sketches for my next book are due in a month, so I’m going through the reference material I gathered on this whale watch. This was a great moment. But they all are. Whale watching never ever gets old.

Good morning! Looks like it’s going to be another beautiful autumn day. Here are your 5 minutes of peace & calm. #OceanDevotion

Now that signups for the November Ocean Devotion Mail Club manta ray mailing are closing at midnight EDT, I'm about to start the research & art for the December edition! What should I do? A. Leafy Sea Dragon B. Narwhal C. Blue-ringed Octopus D. Some kind of jellyfish #OceanDevotion #MailClub

Having a whale of a weekend. Another outing with the Dolphin Fleet out of Ptown. SO many 🐋🐋! (And big swell. Multiple people 🤮) Another research trip for my next book about humpbacks. So lucky to live near where they thrive in the Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctury! 🎥 to come #OceanDevotion

💙🌊🤞

Good morning! Subtropical Storm Josephine is still ripping it up out here! Lots of erosion and a good sandblasting for me. Here are your 4 or so minutes of peace, calm… and wind and waves. #OceanDevotion

Just got home to find a big box—in it my illustrator copies of my next book! IF YOU LIVED IN A TREE, WHAT WOULD YOU SEE by @juliehonanjohnston.bsky.social published by @weboflifebooks.bsky.social is a brilliant nonfiction exploration of the creatures that live trees all around the world.

Saw a whale carcass this morning. Washed up in the subtropical storm. Poor whale. But it’s pretty cool when you’re a scientific illustrator doing a book on humpbacks and the sea delivers you one to look at up close. Yes, I took pics! NO 💀🐋 whale in this #OceanDevotion video though.

Good morning! It’s wild out here today. I can really see winter approaching in the wildness of waves and winds, but especially in the colors and cloud formations. The seals were really getting tossed around this morning! Can you see one? #OceanDevotion

Ok let’s try that again! Here are your three minutes of peace & calm. #OceanDevotion

Good morning! It’s a beautiful wild day here. Here are your… 😂 #OceanDevotion

Good morning! It was a WOW sunrise this morning. I recorded 15 incredible minutes, which you can watch here: youtu.be/iwdzCHnDNGk?... #OceanDevotion

I was just explaining to someone—in Spanish—the scope of my Antarctic work as a science communicator and that the ice of Antarctica is melting... ...but apparently it's too early in the morning. At least, they now know the ice cream of Antarctica is melting. 🤣

Good morning! Took this on my way to the coworking space this morning and completely forgot to share it! Here are your 2 minutes of peace & calm. #OceanDevotion

Good afternoon

Last day of my mini-vacay. I’ve been working by 5 each morning on the 1st edition of the #OceanDevotion Mail Club: Manta Ray. This morning I’m designing the vellum wrap that will enclose the print, field note, stickers, and surprise extra. Only 1 week left to sign up to get it!

Bird lovers, illustrators, scientists, everyone—why not give Parker a follow? Some lovely work here! #sciart #illustration

Ok, I just finished my parrotfish illustration, using Procreate. This was a tricky fish at times, plus I was trying out some new watercolor brushes. But I think it turned out ok. The subject for next month’s #OceanDevotion Mail Club? We’ll see… Thanks @mediumman.bsky.social for the suggestion!

Good morning! Come fly with me along State Beach, Martha’s Vineyard, to the famous JAWS bridge. #OceanDevotion #dronevideo

One of my must-do activities on Martha’s Vineyard at this time of year is mushroom pic-ing 🍄📸. I have so much fun finding as many different kinds as I can.

Ok, folks. I’m in the mood to paint something. What sea creature should I paint? I’ll paint it in Procreate then share the video here. #OceanDevotion

Actually, here’s a quick sunrise #OceanDevotion from where I am. 😊

Good morning! The #OceanDevotion videos will return soon, but in the meantime how about some ocean art? This pair of watercolors is on sale. I’d really love to sell them! www.oceandevotion.studio/original-fine-art/p/sunrise-unsettled

Not even slightly debatable.

Today’s #OceanDevotion is noisy. I’m on a boat!

Just a Wednesday night illustrating zooplankton for fun*. *Fun: the 1st edition of the #OceanDevotion Mail Club! www.oceandevotion.studio/mailclub

Watching bald eagles from my yard never gets old.

Somedays I feel like I'm just hanging on until November 3rd. Maybe you do too. Early voting has already begun in numerous states. See if yours is on the list. Lock it in. www.vote.org/early-voting...

Did you know I take 🎨🖌️commissions? If you’re looking for a unique gift for the holidays, now’s the perfect time to request an artwork for your loved one! But the window for the upcoming holiday season is closing soon!

Some shots from Newcomb Hollow today. Some fishing/boating rope among the rubbish I trashed on my afternoon walk (more balloons included 😡), but reckon these bits will be useful in a creative project. Stay tuned… 👀 #OceanDevotion

It’s Studio Friday, and I’ve been splashing paint this afternoon. Making the pieces of this 1st #OceanDevotion Mail Club mailing is so fun & I’ve learned a lot about manta rays! You can too. www.oceandevotion.studio/mailclub
