My 6 week carbon dust course starts this week and there are spots available. If you prefer an intro to this technique, I’m offering a one day workshop in February. These online courses are offered through the Lyme Art Association's Natural Science Illustration Program #SciArt

Happy National Bird Day!
Today we appreciate our feathered friends and raise awareness about their protection. A bird in flight is poetry in motion.

@course_creek Carbon dust is a century old technique which is easy to learn and is definitely translatable to digital art

Looking to add a new traditional art technique to your skillset in the new year? Check out my carbon dust course and workshop which combines drawing and ‘painting’ using a dry brush technique to achieve realistic 3D illustrations

It’s that time of year again when I’d like to share my annual scientific holiday card. I’ve been wanting to create a card depicting Ice Age Megafauna and connect it with the holiday season. Happy holidays and all the best for the new year! #SciArt #PaleoArt #Anatomy #mammoth

Today is National/World Walrus Day! These semi-aquatic mammals, which are a type of seal, share similar bones with humans. Their specialized forelimbs have evolved for swimming.

I just completed my carbon dust course offered by the Lyme Art Association. Walrus mandible which is still in progress. If you’re interested in learning this technique, I’ll be offering a 6 week course and a one day workshop starting in the new year. #SciArt

In the second last week for my carbon dust course offered by the Lyme Art Association Natural Science Illustration Program, students have their choice of surface and subject for their final project. I joined them and illustrated a walrus skull which is still in progress #SciArt

I had my students recreate an old master carbon dust illustration. I copied this surgical illustration originally created by Russell Drake in 1931 as a demo for my carbon dust course offered by the Lyme Art Association Natural Science Illustration Program. #SciArt, #MedArt

Happy Halloween! To get into the Halloween spirit, I created this warty pumpkin illustration as a demo for my carbon dust course offered by the @lymeartassocation Natural Science Illustration Program #SciArt, #NaturalScienceIllustration #CarbonDust #Halloween

Happy [belated] National Fossil Day! Before CT scanning and photogrammetry, fossil were hand drawn like this series of traditional carbon dust illustrations. I miss those days. Never before shared photos of my illustrations alongside the actual fossils #NationalFossilDay, #SciArt

It’s #WorldAnatomyDay today. Here’s an illustration depicting the anatomy of antlers. Fall is deer breeding season which is a time when antlers harden for buck’s to use in fighting and establishing dominance. #WorldAnatomyDay, #anatomy, #SciArt, #antler #deer

[Dino Pulerà @dpulera]

One week until my carbon dust course starts. There are still some spots available. This technique combines drawing and ‘painting’ using a dry brush to apply layers of ground dust to achieve realistic 3D illustrations. #SciArt, #NaturalScienceIllustration #CarbonDust

Cassowaries Have Their Day! World Cassowary Day draws attention and awareness about these amazing large flightless birds from Indonesia, Papua New Guinea and NE Australia. Here’s the skull of a SouthernCassowary (Casuarius casuarius). #SciArt #cassowary #WorldCassowaryDay #skull

Today is World Rhino Day!

Sumatran rhinos are the smallest of all rhinos. They are also one of the rarest and most endangered mammals in the world with fewer than 100 individuals left in the wild.

Happy National Dog Day!
With my upcoming vertebrate anatomy course in a few weeks, what better way to promote two things at once. Here’s the skeletal anatomy of a typical canine.
