My art in the science blogosphere – Deep Sea News article
My older work “Echinodermata,” which depicts the branches of the echinoderm lineage with a cladogram in the sand, was recently used in an excellent post: Veins of Water: The Evolution of the Echinoderm Water-Vascular System, by Kevin Zelnio at Deep Sea News.
This work was also used as a backdrop in an interview with Dr. Christopher Mah (of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History and the Echinoblog).

Ocean Invasion #12: We’ve Got Crabs
“Ocean Invasion #12: We’ve Got Crabs”
Blue crabs invade my friends’ apartment building. Note: In the original photo there is a street where there is now water.
This is the 12th in a series of pieces, “Ocean Invasion,” which finds ocean creatures living in absurd land habitats.
Photo taken with iPhone cam. Crabs modeled in Blender (with reference photo help from Dr. Tom Shultz, molecular biologist at the Duke Marine Conservation Molecular Facility and Amy Frietag of the “Southern Fried Science” blog and Duke Marine Lab). Textured and post-processing in GIMP.
