First day of scanning my medium-sized hand drawn pieces today. Both for my records, and for choosing a few to have fine-art prints ready for the Maker Faire.

This is one of my favorites, from today's batch. It's inspired by seaweed and chemistry diagrams.

This print shows a great little pollinator in the garden: a transverse-banded flower fly (Eristalis transversa) on Echinacea purpurea or purple coneflower. Because of its yellow stripes, tendency to hover (it’s a hover fly after all) and love of flowers, this little insect can be mistaken for a bee, but it’s a bee-mimic fly. Like the bees, it’s an important pollinator and friend to flowers and gardeners. 🧵1/2

As described this is my 8” x 10” print showing the centre of a purple echinacea flower. The centre of the flower is orange with black outlines and some yellow bits and occupies the lower right corner. Radiating out are several pink and violet petals. The background is green. On top of the centre of the flower is a transverse-banded flower fly facing the lower right corner. It is yellow and black striped with translucent wings and red-brown eyes.

The transverse-banded flower fly and purple coneflowers are native to eastern North America. Each print is made by hand on assorted, beautiful Japanese washi papers and collaged to make the final 8” x 10” image, which are hand-embellished with posca pens.

Happy birthday to trailblazing American computer scientist Frances Elizabeth Allen (1932 – 2020) who made foundational contributions to optimizing compilers, optimizing programs and parallel computing. She was the first woman to become an IBM Fellow, where she worked from 1957 to 2002 and as an emeritus fellow afterwards. She was the first woman to win the Turing Prize.
