Ocean Invasion #12: "We've Got Crabs" ? Daniel D. Brown

Part of digital artist and cell biologist?Daniel DeWitt Brown?s Ocean Invasion series, when I saw Daniel post this stunner, I immediately asked if we could feature it for this Scumble. Blending realism with a legitimate sense of whimsy and camp, Brown?s whole series makes you wish the denizens of the deep became the newest invasive species on land and in our cities.

Make sure to check out Daniel D. Brown?s work at the links:

Scumble: ??A painting technique in which semi-opaque or thin opaque colors are loosely brushed over an underpainted area so that patches of the color beneath show through.?

From? The Artist?s Handbook, by Ray Smith.

This began as a?series of posts on my personal blog, The Flying Trilobite, as a way to brush highlights over the tremendous amount of science-based art that?s out there. I can?t begin to cover it all, so here?s a scumble over some recent posts that I found interesting, provocative, or otherwise caught my eye from the? Science Artists Feed, and other sources.

Science-art is becoming an increasingly popular form of science communication and entertainment. Drawing from fine art, laboratory work, scientific illustration, concept art and more, watch how artists spread scientific literacy and play with the inspiring concepts in science. ?Doing the Scumble posts, I hope to connect artists with each other, and expose their work to a wider audience. ?Remember, a lot of these artists are available for commissions and have online shops for original art and reproductions.

Put your feet up, make yourself a cappuccino and enjoy the science-art on the links above.
