it's crosshatchin' time
Drawings from New Zealand, in a birthday moleskine (thanks, mom!).
Various ladies, one from a photo. I don't know what kind of squash award the lady on the left has won, but that's one heckuva squash.
Various speakers at the conference. Can you spot your favorite New Zealand entomologist?*
Folk musicians gatherin' round for whatever the kiwi equivalent of a hoedown would be. The shorter-haired guitarist is my host and longtime beetle buddy Rich, who has been clumsily sketched before.
Crumb parody for my li'l sister, currently a professional nerd for social justice at NYU; was recently prescribed a pair of hilarious orthopedic shoes. Hence... this, apparently? Happy belated b-day, Laura!
And a crosshatched-to-death picture for my dad, from a photo of L and I subduing a nonsectarian holiday tree.
Meanwhile, another action-packed weekend in Canberra. I've been workin' overtime to optimize an intransigent bastard of a PCR protocol, leaving the lab past midnight both Friday and Saturday. Going for the late-nite hat trick now, but it's not all bad. Friday night I scored a surprise bonus Weird Australian Bird, the delightful Tawny Frogmouth! Right here on Black Mountain!
Google image search, a close-up, please?
Tawny frogmouth has had enough of your crap.
The Point Defiance Zoo used to have one of these in the "House of Adaptation" (like the House of Blues but with more frogmouths?), which I now see, to my infinite disappointment, has been replaced by some goddamn meerkats or something. Ah, the lost memories of youth. I can't believe they got rid of the frogmouths (and aardvarks!). >:(
Trick question. Half of them were ecologists. :(
