I'd rather spend $50 on a commissioned coloring page than $2 on an AI one on Teachers Pay Teachers

Include cells, human body, botany, dinosaurs, evolution themes, genetics/DNA

Everyone go commission @daphnis-draws now. Their art is awesome! I can't wait to use it in my classroom next year.

Please reach out to Daphnis if you're interested in using it. I have been given permission to use for educational purposes only and share with my coworkers. Not for resale or remixing. This work will not be used for generative AI.
