Posts, Art, Stuff

T his is a bit of an experiment, so we will see how long I keep it up. When I was younger, a lot of my interests in the natural world (and anything else) were expressed through making art. I pursued these interests through high school, briefly considered going to art school, but largely fell out of the habit as I made my way through college and into the sciences. I think there are a lot of ways to express yourself artistically in the sciences, which I try to do, but sometimes it's just fun to draw. I have to thank my 8 year old daughter for reminding me of that. Documenting it on this old blog, so here goes:
