It's getting late here so I'm signing out very soon. Thank you to @prksrng for giving me the platform and all of you for listening to my ramblings! Go check out my latest retweets to follow your new favorite artists!

Happy weekend, everyone! Today I'll be sharing the works of artists in my general vicinity: folks from SouthEast Asia and people who work with bugs & slugs in general. I'll scatter the posts throughout the day, so I hope you enjoy the ride!

My friend @beccalachuchi is a graphic designer/illustrator who has worked on various infographics, covering a wide variety of topics!

If you seek isopod content, @bedupolker is the isopod king you want on your TL

More artist highlight: @troodonvet is a nature/anime artist with special interests in paleontology and Indonesian wildlife

We have @SeashellDaniel, a student, nature enthusiast, and drawer of cute bugs

just look at the details twitter.com/aldrich_kia/st…

If you like your bugs old and dead, @alrich_kia illustrates and sometimes animates fossil bugs from the Paleozoic!

It's criminal that @SailorShrimpp doesn't even have 500 followers yet. Who doesn't like cute crustacean art? In 2022?

Nicole @fossilforager is one of the most prolific artists out there who draw bugs and other underappreciated creatures. She even started the hashtag #Invertober2022 to highlight funky invertebrates for one full month!

This book is gorgeous & suggests common names for wasps that lack any so laypeople can familiarize themselves with the animals. Like the citadel wasps, which build intricate fortresses. And the pastry wasps, with their delicious-looking nests. twitter.com/humanbyweight/…

My friend @humanbyweight is currently illustrating 300+ species of cicadas found across North America, after previously illustrating 200+ wasp species for a book twitter.com/humanbyweight/…

We have @The_Episiarch, who is known for designing characters based on real-life parasitic species, like this aquatic isopod/pillbug known as tongue-biter.

Always a delight to see @Lycomorpha on the timeline: A lifelong bug friend, lichen admirer, and disability advocate.
