It's interesting: the individual microbes emitting the light are not "aware" of the gigantic art form of which they are part! It makes me think about what we do...

Anyway, many thanks to the students participating in #LuxArt here at the University of Canterbury.

As my Erskine Fellowship winds down, I was able to do a tiny #LuxArt session with a few of my #AotearoaMicronauts at the University of Canterbury in Christchurch NZ. We used a safe luminous bacterium I isolated from local seawater. I so adore the student creativity! #MicrobialPR

piece i did for my mom's birthday! she loves medusa and gr33k stuff. gorgons are described with golden wings, and in later iterations, medusa is depicted with head-wings too. the snakes are ottoman vipers, one of the common vipers that would've b33n s33n at the time!

#luxart #art

digital painting of medusa leaning against a petrified warrior. her snakes are white with brown patterning, and the scales cross over to speckle her forehead and cheeks. golden head wings curve out from behind them. she's wearing a teal gown and golden jewelry. she smiles at one of the vipers resting on her hand, the others curling around and being cute.

Even 10,000 miles away, my fascination with luminous bacteria and branding is always with me. I isolated the bacterium locally from seawater, and now we have a genome sequence! Even though *I* likely won't be able to put on a #LuxArt show, the materials are now here.

I completely forgot to show this art I made ages ago for the shirts but never made a poster for it, so here it is

dav33k, funy animal

#luxart #art #furryart

an anthro ferret-like animal, with a long torso and arms, and short legs. he has really big paws. he's tortoiseshell with extra bold red patches, as well as red gems as horns and tail-tip. he also has golden thorns on his tail and forearms.

One more PS! My wife Dr. Jennifer Quinn and I won an award for making #LuxArt (using luminous bacteria) of famous women microbiologist at ASM a few years ago. Esther is among them---I love this portrait of her. And Rita Colwell remains super important to me.

#afwt #furryart #luxart #art #utdr

a digital painting of the angel, a gold and red boss monster, and suzy, an older and more rough version of susie, nuzzling noses. angel has one hand on their cane and the other grasping their chest, tail wrapped around their legs as they try to stay calm. they're wearing a red dress with a black shawl/mantle, and a white scarf on top. suzy has her hands clasped together in front of her chest to keep herself from reaching out, but looks very happy and only a little nervous. she's wearing a leather jacket with spiked shoulders and a patch overlapping monster and human hearts, and dark jeans with faint magenta piping. they're in a snowy town area with buildings in the background and on the sides.
