Happy There Will Come Soft Rains day, everyone. How we feeling? #BookSky, #SciFi, #Books

A screenshot of a comic panel of the illustrated version of There Will Come Soft Rains, by Ray Bradbury. The heading says: Somewhere in the walls, relays clicked... memory tapes glided under electric eyes... Under the heading, is a speech bubble emanating from a futuristic speaker against the backdrop of a yellow retrofuturistic house interior. The speech bubble says: Today is August 4, 2026! Today is Mr. Featherstone's birthday! Today is the anniversary of Tilita's marriage! I surance is payable... as are the water, gas, and light bills... In the lower right corner is a chrome metal structure covered slightly by a frong of some plant.

Pinning for posterity: Hi all, my name is Tucker and I'm an aquatic biologist from New Hampshire, USA. My background is in aquatic arthropod morphology, though I'm still early in my career. Currently job hunting and looking into graduate schools. I'm also a traditional illustrator. Open to travel!

A photo of a man in a black pea coat and green cat with tan pants and leather shoes leaning against a fiberglass scale model of a blue whale's heart. The heart is pink and shiny, with large ventricle facing both toward and away from the viewer, showing that it is hollow. The heart and the man are on a gray tile floor against a blue wall with gray trim in a museum.

A picture of a colored pencil drawing of a small Scelionid wasp. The wasp is drawn on brown sketch paper. The wasp is mostly black with light brown highlights on the legs. The wasp has various white highlights on the carapace and wings to denote a shine. The wasp is covered in white setae. The artist's signature and completion date are written in the lower right corner of the page in black ink.

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't nirvana, soundgarden, pearl jam, or alice in chains.

The album cover to Sumo Jungle Gradeur by Soichi Terada. The album consists of the title in white text, centered at the top under the words "Far East Recording" also in white text. Centered from the bottom is the white tracing of a ukiyo-e style illustration of a sumo wrestler. The text and image of the wrestler are against a darkish-blue background.

A peeled Sheep for #caturday

A photo of a black cat with its ears and scalp pulled slightly back by a hand to give it a funny appearance. The cat is laying down in a gray cat tree in front of a window. Outside the window is a yard with woods.

I bought a little 𝘚𝘢𝘳𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘦𝘯𝘪𝘢 on impulse at outlr local greenhouse and some of the pitchers have become really robust since.

A photo of an american pitcher plant in the genus 𝘚𝘢𝘳𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘦𝘯𝘪𝘢. The plant is green with white speckles, and has a hood with red venations. The plant is sitting in dark peat moss on wooden steps against a wall with peeling white paint. There are several smaller pitcher leaves surrounding the one in the center of the photograph, but they are less developed.

Sometimes the good times make me want to create, sometimes the bad times make me want to create. I'm finding the intensity of the time is positively correlated to my output. Here's Penelope #myart, #bunny, #rabbit

A soft pastel painting of a white rabbit with black ears, a black nose smudge, and gray paws on brown toned paper. The rabbit has a black highlight around it to solidify the edges.

I bought the cheapest Bluetooth compatible cassette nugget to play this but I'm just so glad these tapes still work! I don't expect the player I have to withstand the test of time so if I end up getting disposable income any time soon I might invest in one of those nice fiio players...

Clingy black kitty club

A photo of a black cat nestled between a keyboard and desktop tower in front of a pc monitor. The cat is flopped around a person's arm. Charging cables can be seen towards the back of the desk everything is resting on.

Awesome antique store pull. Now I just gotta get that old cassette radio out of the garage and working to see if these are any good.

A black box of cassette tapes labelled the lord of the rings j.r.r. tolkien from 1981 with a painting of the characters centered on the cover.

Could only justify buying the one, I didn't want to pass a speech check to haggle for it. It's smaller than I expected but it's very cute. I might save it and buy some proper paints for it, even though it's snap-together and came with stickers I think it'd be worth the effort.

A photo of a model kits for the Science Special Search Party jet VTOL from the original Ultraman series from 1966. It is a silver airplane type vehicle with red accents on the nose and leading and trailing edges of the fins and wings. SIII and SSS are emblazoned on tbe side and back wings.

VERY sketchy Genesis P42 with my travel watercolor kit. Wanted to go as fast as I could while still making it legible (kinda) to simulate doing plein air on a train platform, which I plan to do soon. #Amtrak, #Trains, #Trainspotting

A watercolor and ink sketch of a GE Genesis P42 diesel engine. The train has a blue triangularnpatch above the cabin, a dull silver body and s red lateral line where the chassis gives way to the wheel mechanisms at the bottom. The car it is towing is also a dull gray with red white and blue lateral stripes and two openings near the front and back of the left side of the car. The background is a blotchy blue and there is a rough sketch of some track in the foreground with blotchy black shadows.

Two side by side photos of an d man with a white moustache, brown glasses, and a blue shirt labelled "old man". In white impact font the left image says "gotta go guys 10pm bed time". The right image says, also in white impact font, sorry guys can't play it's 10pm bed time".

Shrimps likes to sit on my back after I shave my head. He's pondering my head like the orb.

A painting of a wizard, mostly in hues of dark purple shadows and light blue highlights as he stares at alight blue crystal ball on what appears to be a stone table.

It's a replica of a seal from the Osaka Aquarium in Japan! Her name is Yuki, and her plushies kinda went viral for a little while. I imported it directly from the aquarium a little before Covid, but now it's Sheep's favorite spot in the house. It's very squishy like a squishmallow.

A photo of a black cat laying on a plush ringed seal on top of a wooden dresser. Behind the cat is are two windows, on with an AC unit and a tissue box and the other with a view out into the nighttime.

A photo of a black cat laying on her side on top of a gray ringed seal pillow. Next to the pillow is a crumpled up orange hooded sweatshirt.

For reference here are the main belligerents; Shrimp is orange and Sheep is black.

A photo of a bedroom with an orange cat perched on a small gray cat tree that is at the far end of a wooden dresser, and a black cat laying down on a large ringed seal plush. Both cats are in front of twin windows that show a forest scene. To the right of the cat tree and plush is a white oscillating desk fan. The floor of the bedroom is wood. To the left of the dresser is a black square shelving unit with two tan baskets on the bottom two shelves with books, stones and a coyote skull in the top units. On the top of the black shelf are a book, a magnetic lamp and a framed pinned atlas beetle. On the wall next to the cats is a hanging poster of a watercolor painting of a river. The base of a bed with a green throw can be partially seen in the bottom left. The walls of the room are tan.

A bit janky but it's done. Here's my completed illuminated manuscript page for my cats Shrimp and Sheep. The ink I use for my blackletter practice didn't really bind well to the acrylic so I chiseled out the font and then painted it in with black acrylic afterwards. #art, #illustration, #myart

A painting in the style of an illuminated manuscript. The scene is farmed by a blue rectangle with metallic gold edges. The rectangle is covered in white eight point stars. The scene depicts an orange cat and a black cat in a duel in a green meadow surrounded by white flowers. The orange cat is armed with a spear and a red shield with a white cross. The black cat is armed with a halberd. Above both cats is the text in blackletter font "Cattus Belli", a play on "Casus Belli", a cause for war.

Day 1 (top) vs day 2 (bottom) of blackletter calligraphy practice. It's slow going but its a very meditative process. #calligraphy, #blacklettercalligraphy

A photo of two pages of blackletter calligraphy practice sheets with exercises written on them in black ink, one on top of the other. The exercises consist of repeated strokes with and without series, as well as crescents and circles.

He's finished!

A photo of a red daruma doll sitting on a bed with brown sheets and a green quilt. The daruma has its left eye (our right) dotted with a pupils. The kanji for good luck is printed in gold calligraphy on its belly.

Tucker White@tuckerjw464· Jan 6

I have to go over this again with a few more layers but I used an actual calligraphy brush from my sumi-e gear to write the proper Kanji from a reference. After this its just the eye!

A photo of a red dsruma doll in the process of restoration. The kanji "fukuiri" or "inviting luck" is written lightly in gold paint on its belly. The following is perched on a wicker napkin basket with newspaper underneath it in a kitchen.

Tucker White@tuckerjw464· Jan 6

Getting rid of his scuff marks and cleaning him up a bit. Gotta figure out what to draw on his belly. I'm gonna color in his eye and wish for stable employment this year.

A photo of a red daruma doll in the process of getting touched up with paint. The doll is perched on a wicker napkin basket to allow the doll to be rotated. In front of the doll is a large jar filled with red paint water. Underneath everything are various newspaper pages. The while scene is set on a white countertop in a kitchen.

There were a pair of immature bald eagles fighting over some kind of bird behind the art supply wholesale store that I got my calligraphy stuff at today. Only got a picture of one since the other flew behind a fence in someone's backyard. 🪶

A photo of an immature bald eagle sitting in a white pine tree in wintertime. The eagle is mostly brown with black margins on its feathers, and has a yellow beak. The eagle is looking backwards at the viewer.

I'm currently learning blackletter calligraphy for my silly cat illustration. It's actually very satisfying.

A photo of lined calligraphy paper with various letters in blackletter font as well as test lines from a dip pen covering its length. A pile of golden pen nibs are seen behind the paper on the table, as well as a white ceramic brush holder. The letters are of dubious quality.

Tucker White@tuckerjw464· Jan 4

I need to come up with some sort of Latin phrase that I can fit in the top, with the first letter illuminated. I also need to learn how to do calligraphy.
