Yes, Maker Faire Bay Area is next month, but I'm already working on getting ready. These are the pre-made organelle models that we'll be using to teach kids how to make 3D models of cells, from the inside out, as we talk them through the story of the Protein Pathway. #MakerFaire #Biology #SciArt

Plastic gumball machine capsules filled with models of cell organelles in colorful clay

Woohooo! The folks at the Maker Faire have officially confirmed that we'll have space for GalaxyGoo Cell Project workshops. Still not sure if it will be next to my art booth, but we can make it work even if it's not. #MakerFaire #SciArt #SciComm #Biology #art #CellBiology #STEAM

Models of organelles and cells made from colorful clay

This is what I see, when I try to add you to my #SciArt Collection from vis.social.

This month's sticker is floral! I love how the inks played together in the hand drawn original that this sticker is created from. These go out to folks who join my Sticker Club before the end of July: www.patreon.com/cw/KristinHe... #stickers #art #flowers #ink #SciArt #ArtForSale

Sticker made from my hand drawn floral motif. The background is a weathered wooden fence that is slightly mossy.

This morning, I decided to finally attempt networked Plesiosaur motifs. I'm not sure what I think about them, yet. Certainly worth more experimenting. www.patreon.com/posts/157125... ko-fi.com/Post/InkyDay... #inkyDays #ink #drawing #art #SciArt #Plesiosaur #dinosaur

Hand drawn generative/procedural art in ink on an open page of my sketchbook. The abstract pattern looks a bit like a chemistry diagram but with plesiosaur shapes as the lines/edges.

The penguins are fed up with the constant onslaught of slop from every direction, in today's #inkyDays drawing. www.patreon.com/posts/157125... ko-fi.com/Post/InkyDay... vis.social/@kristinHenr... #ink #drawing #art #penguins #StarTrek #NoAI

Hand drawn generative/procedural art in ink on an open page of my sketchbook. The abstract pattern is three angry-looking penguins wielding star trek Klingon batleths. My glass dipping pen is next to my sketchbook.

Kristin Henry@kristinhenry· May 26

For today's #inkyDays drawing, I decided to pause the math-flowers and go more in a molecular biology direction. Thinking about transmembrane proteins and phospholipids for this motif. #SciArt #Biology #CellBiology #art #ink #drawing

Hand drawn generative/procedural art in ink on an open page of my sketchbook. The abstract pattern looks like a diagram of a cell membrane and proteins, but prettier. A clip holds my sketchbook open, and my glass dipping pen is near it.

Kristin Henry@kristinhenry· Mar 23

For folks who would like a lot of these stickers to give away, I've just added sets of them to my online shop: www.artatomic.io/product/set-... If you'd like more, let me know and I'll set up a listing for you. #art #ArtForSale #sticker #ink #drawing #flag #flower #penguins #ProtestArt

sticker made from my abstract drawing of the Minnesota state flag. There are two small penguin drawings on either side of the sticker.

Thinking about atomic bonding angles in today's #inkyDays drawing. Here's an in-progress shot. The finished drawing is now posted on my patreon and ko-fi: www.patreon.com/posts/152000... ko-fi.com/Post/InkyDay... #SciArt #ink #drawing #art #wip #GenerativeArt #ProceduralArt

Hand drawn generative/procedural art in ink on an open page of my sketchbook. The abstract pattern looks a bit like a chemistry diagram.

Kristin Henry@kristinhenry· Mar 13

It doesn't look like it, but I made this floral pattern with a particle system. Yep, art inspired by a debugging process while developing a chemistry simulation: www.artatomic.io/product/part... #SciArt #art #flowers #Chemistry #CreativeCoding #ProceduralArt

Abstract art that looks a bit like a flower

Genuary 2026 Day 16: "Order and disorder." I had fun with this one. Yeah, I have fun with all of them, but this one gave me a little extra joy. At each "generation" I added a little more noise. www.patreon.com/posts/146980... #Genuary2026 #Genuary16 #Genuary #CreativeCoding #art

Abstract art made of little squares. At the top, the squares are neatly ordered. The squares become more and more disordered down the page.

Kristin Henry@kristinhenry· Jan 15

Genuary 2026 Day 15: "Create an invisible object where only the shadows can be seen." This one didn't turn out as I initially intended. But partway through working on it, it really wanted to go in this direction. www.patreon.com/posts/148175... #Genuary2026 #CreativeCoding #art #ProceduralArt

abstract art that looks a bit like a colorful blobby background and a creature or a shadow of a shrub.

Kristin Henry@kristinhenry· Jan 13

Ah! I see it's #PortfolioDay! I'm an artist working with code, data, mixed media, and ink on watercolor paper. Much of my inspiration comes from Science, Math, and Nature. #SciArt #CreativeCoding #art

Abstract art with pattern that looks a bit like a chemistry diagram with flowers and little fish.

A map of north america with blurry dots across it

Abstract art inspired by chemistry. The pattern has a lot of concentric circles and straight lines.

Kristin Henry@kristinhenry· Jan 4

Genuary 2026 Day 3: "Fibonacci forever" For this one, I'm going with abstract flowers and 'petal' numbers, skipping over 0,1,1,2 I'm playing and exploring ideas and getting some pretty images as output www.patreon.com/posts/146969... #Genuary2026 #Genuary3 #Genuary #SciArt #CreativeCoding #art

Abstract art made from many circles of different colors, sizes, and transparencies.

Kristin Henry@kristinhenry· Jan 2

#Genuary 2026 Day 2: Twelve principles of animation. I'm taking inspiration from the example of how horses run, with body carrying through. But with lizards. I wrote a bit more about it: www.patreon.com/posts/147034... #Genuary2026 #Genuary2 #ink #drawing #art #SciArt

My small sketchbook with sketches of varying detail where I'm figuring out the geometry of placing the feet to make the lizard look like it's walking. A finished drawing is in the background.

Happy New Year! This month's ArtAtomic Sticker Club sticker is now posted! www.patreon.com/posts/147194... #StickerClub #stickers #SciArt #ArtForSale #ink #drawing #art

Sticker made from my original hand drawn art. It looks a bit like a drop of pond water under a microscope.

Kristin Henry@kristinhenry· Dec 30

So, yeah. I STILL mask up. I go to concerts, and live as full a life as I can manage. But I mask up. And I protest what's going on in our world, including going to a No Kings rally dressed as an Axolotl.

Me, dressed in an Axolotl suit in front of San Francisco city hall for No Kings protest.

I'll be sending out this month's sticker in a few days. This one's a cure mushroom pattern that I started drawing after visiting the Kusama installation at the SFMOMA. www.patreon.com/posts/artato... #StickerClub #stickers #art #ArtForSale #mushrooms #fungi

Sticker made from my hand drawn abstract mushroom with polka dots on the stem and cap.

Today, I'm sharing a piece that was originally inspired by serving on jury duty. Yes, inspiration can come from anywhere. #ArtAdventCalendar #art #ink #drawing

Hand drawn generative/procedural art in ink on watercolor paper. The abstract pattern looks a bit like something you might see under a microscope.

Kristin Henry@kristinhenry· Dec 23

Today I'm sharing a very early piece of mine. It's made from Cell organelle diagrams that I had created for an educational piece. #ArtAdventCalendar #SciArt #art #biology #CreativeCoding

abstract art made from overlapping cell organelle diagrams

Kristin Henry@kristinhenry· Dec 19

Today, I'm sharing a piece I created in a past #Genuary challenge. If I remember correctly, the challenge was to create a pattern for a rug. #ArtAdventCalendar #CreativeCoding #art #GenerativeArt #ProceduralArt

Abstract pattern that looks a bit like a rug.

For today's #DecembArt, I'm sharing my drawing of an imaginary city with no cars. #ArtAdventCalendar #ink #drawing

Hand drawn generative/procedural art in ink on watercolor paper. The abstract pattern looks like an imaginary city with waterways and no roads for cars.

Kristin Henry@kristinhenry· Dec 17

For today's #DecembArt, I'm sharing this simple game: Viral Snowflakes. The goal is to shoot vaccines at the virus themed snowflakes as they slowly drift down. The keyboard controls are simple. artatomic.itch.io/viralsnowfla... #ArtAdventCalendar #CreativeCoding #art #indiegame #games

screenshot of a simple game about shooting vaccines at virus particles shaped like snowflakes.

For today's #DecembArt, I'm sharing one of my favorites pieces from last year's #Genuary. It's also kinda quilt inspired. This one didn't run nearly as long as yesterday's. vis.social/@kristinHenr... #ArtAdventCalendar
