Featured science artwork has been a part of the monthly newsletter, but for #Inktober, I’m bringing it to the blog to celebrate the science-inspired art of October. Read More Science is proud to support the scientific artists working hard every day this month to present beautiful #SciArt to the online community. At the end of each week in October, I will post a round up of work that caught my eye for you to enjoy here on readmorescience.com!
You can help support these artists and their work by following them on Twitter, purchasing artwork (if they sell online), or simply by liking and retweeting their #Inktober work. Follow along with this Twitter list to stay up to date: https://twitter.com/IAmSciArt/lists/inktober2018sciartists.
Enjoy!
Featured #SciArt for Inktober
I am participating in #inktober this year. I of course need to keep it fish themed. Today’s prompt is #poison So I drew a poisonous puffer fish (~30 minutes). #inktober2018 #sciart pic.twitter.com/XTBegQkRRc

#Inktober2018 Day 7. Prompt: ‘Exhausted’.
Title: Stop-Gap. Media: Coffee, Ink Pen, Inktense Pencil.
Caffeine crystals and Neurons make for an interesting pairing, both on paper and as a reaction in my brain when things refuse to wake up. Espresso for me and one for the page! pic.twitter.com/YNjW6z8JGo— Katherine Gravett (@KateGravett) October 7, 2018
For #Inktober this year I’m going to do quick comic book style sketches based upon my life as a #lake #ecologist, and the lives of the wildlife I study. This week: frames from the story of a lake scientist #Inktober2018 #freshwater #SciArt pic.twitter.com/zHEO0V6f9G

And finally to today’s prompt. Here is a STAR-gazer fish; slightly terrifying but all fish!#TeamFish #inktober2018 pic.twitter.com/3LMkU19g8h

That’s it for this week’s featured #SciArt! Thanks for stopping by the website, maybe check out a book review while you’re here, sign up for the monthly newsletter, and start reading more books about science.
Happy reading (and inking!)

Artists can add so much to our understanding of science. Visual learning helps many people process the information they may read or hear; so artwork isn’t just a pleasurable extra, it’s a basic tool for presenting ideas and information.
