Happy birthday to Russian #mathematician & writer Sofia Vasilyevna Kovalevski (1850-1891). Her contributions to analysis, differential equations & mechanics include Cauchy-Kovalevski theorem & the famed Kovalevski top. She was 1st woman appointed to full prof in N Europe or to serve as editor of a major sci journal. She is also remembered for her contributions to Russian literature. All of this despite living when women were 🧵

My linocut portrait of Sofia Kovalevski in burgundy surrounded by Saturn and a diagram about the rotation of irregular solids in gold ink. She’s wearing a dress with puffed sleeves over a floral embroidered blouse. Her hair is up, her arms are folded in front of her and she looks thoughtfully to the side.

#WIPWednesday • A fair bit of progress on the second pass of white stitching on the Milky Way. Other work: I got my email mostly under control and worked on some anatomy research and my mitosis pattern this week. #SciArt #embroidery

Lia’s fingers show a wooden embroidery hoop with black linen with a rectangle of dissolvable material on which is printed the Milky Way in black and white with some red and blue markings. Some tiny single strand seed stitch and French knots in white, peach, oranges, aubergine, and dark browns and grays have been stitched. The tiny needle holds white thread. Below the Milky Way is black on black whipped backstitch that looks a bit like flames, it’s pubic hair. An hourglass-shaped needle minder that reads “this is taking forever” is attached to the cloth.

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.

Hi #PortfolioDay !

I'm a health&care advocacy designer and artist.

My current project is
@illmarks . I began utilizing body mapping art to log my symptoms, but then expanded the practice to include emotional, systemic, and interpersonal aspects of disability.

I most recently partnered with the University of Washington’s School of Nursing as part of a study on healthcare equity and community tools. I taught a virtual workshop to fellow disabled community members on using symptom mapping art to validate their bodily experiences, which was immensely rewarding.

I hope to expand how I can apply my creativity and help my communities, and would love to collaborate!

(The thing I most miss about my work from before I got more disabled and can no longer work full time is interpersonal collaboration, so I'm slowly trying to bring more collaborations back into my life.)

Three art images, manila vintage-looking anatomical bookmarks printed with the outline of a human and a memo section. Each is adorned in ink in different ways, turning them into unique art pieces.

1st: the human in the center of the bookmark has a scratchy black & red shimmer ink etched brain, mouth (frown) esophagus and GI system. Their head is darkness resembling a brain, poking into it are thin spikes of red. diagonally behind them, and wrapping around parts of their limbs are water textures which almost look like smoke, or tendrils, or tangles of something impossible to escape. they're beautifully colored but there's just a certain something in how they wrap around so very much of the body so deftly and... dangerously?

2nd: human is composed of dripping dark green ooze & negative space. they have a bit of ooze for head, a face of concern/pain, & an emptiness where their heart should be. the ooze continues down their body asymmetrically. the background of is smudged horizontal stripes of green yellow brown like the world is moving past the figure much faster in an unfathomable blur, while they are taking one tiny, ever so slow step we can barely perceive -- if we squeeze our eyes, perhaps their left foot is lifted slightly and their left arm is bent, right arm is back further?

3rd: Anatomical heart & brain turn into twisting, undulating, VIBRANT textures, magenta turning sickly green at the limbs, gold shimmer, w/ liquid, blood-pooling details like water and bubbles. — Three art images, manila vintage-looking anatomical bookmarks printed with the outline of a human and a memo section.

3 images, captioned: Emotional, Systemic, & Interpersonal Chronic Illness Art

1st: Cyan shows closed eyes w/ a tear. The figure's side of face, shoulders, & running down one arm are swirling, dripping liquid patterns, turning into droplets falling from the hand. On the other side of the body, & up the legs are more water patterns, turning into a pool of ooze that covers the lower legs & feet. There is a dotted outline of a human figure printed on the manila bookmark, the ooze and eyes with tear are the only rendered pieces of the artwork. In the memo section at the top of the bookmark is "Symptom: grief"

2nd: figure is covered in a sheet with eyes like a sheet ghost. They also wear a respirator face mask. Surrounding them are dozens of laughing & happy people, all with their mouths open in almost grotesque smiles.They're drinking, waving flags, hiking, exercising, talking with each other, eating popcorn, waving. there are small drawings of viruses peppered in amongst the people & objects, which include airplanes, xmas stockings. Hidden amongst this jumble under the feet of the figure is the phrase in quotes "Post-Covid".

3rd: Human is rendered abstractly from a bunch of slightly slanted vertical lines. So many lines, of varying lengths, bearing down on the figure. Or rising up from the figure. Within those lines, starting at the rough mouth-area, & continuing downward are 5 triangular shapes, outlined in a teal ink with gold shimmer, marked with an "s" in reflective ink. — 3 images, captioned: Emotional, Systemic, & Interpersonal Chronic Illness Art 1st: Cyan shows closed eyes w/ a tear.

Genuary 2026 Day 9: "Crazy Automaton"

Cellular Automaton can be pretty fun to play with: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellular_automaton

Instead of a crazy 'rule', I decided to do something a little crazy in the image: I sampled and inverted colors in pixels according to rule 30.

Abstract art inspired by math and cellular automata. The image has a bunch of triangles and inverted colors. Looks a bit organic.

I imagine capybaras are the type of friend who would join a fainting goat friend on the ground during a fainting spell so the goat wouldn't be embarrassed. Another sketch in my 642 Things to Draw book!

#goat #art #drawing #sciart

Teal pen drawing of a fainting goat and a capybara, both laying on their backs with their hooves/paws in the air. The date 3.14.2025 is written on the bottom right. There are scalloped rays drawn radiating from the two animals.

I got way too into this opossum sketch but I couldn’t help it. Saw them in NY and couldn’t look away. Done in graphite with BluTack + blender for depth. Vines were negative space work. Feels like I drew a ghost hiding in the roots. #sciart #graphite #art

Realistic graphite sketch of an opossum in a sketchbook, featuring detailed fur texture and vines drawn in negative space, with two mechanical pencils below.

For this one, I'm going with abstract flowers and 'petal' numbers, skipping over 0,1,1,2 and starting at 3.

I'm playing and exploring ideas and getting some pretty images as output.

Another scientist in my collection with an unknown birthday is one of the earliest recorded women in science, Peseshet. She is described in the elaborate Saqqara tomb of her son Akhethotep,a royal official and overseer of priests, who lived during the Fifth Dynasty around 2400 BCE. She is described as the “Overseer of the Women Physicians.”
