Unsolicited Pokemon Hot Take: Trapinch is perfect and if its evolutions kept its chompchomp head and starry eyes they would all be in my top 10.*

*Also Flygon should still have 2 pairs of wings, ok bye.

SMALL-HEADED FLY SMALL-HEADED FLY 👀

Maybe Pterodontia sp? I'd never seen any small-headed flies before, and there's only 3 Florida sightings in the family on iNaturalist. Absolutely bizarre chonky creature. Basically no head. Evolution can't keep getting away with this.

My Mermaid Exhibition video: “DENIZENS OF THE DEEP”:

I have always been enchanted by ethereal marine landscapes; the world that lies beneath the ocean waves. My obsession with mermaids reveals a myriad of quirky organic and architectural forms:  

My short video focuses on the details of all 10 of my mermaid pictures in chronological order beginning from my least recent to my most recent.

Music:  The 3rd movement of #TroisNocturnes: “Sirènes” from Claude Debussy’s masterpiece: La Mer.
