Patrick's Sketchbook

My full poster! Most politicians simply aren’t taking the climate crisis seriously, and most of the presidential candidates aren’t willing to commit to the required changes at the required scale. @berniesanders has fought the hardest for the most change.

Hatchetfish found on the beach exhibiting bipedal mutations.

This year I am attempting a natural history themed drawing (usually with a bizarre or supernatural twist) every day of October. #chameleon #cordyceps #curiosities #cabinetofcuriosity #supernaturalhistory #cabinetofwonders #inktoberday #inktober #inktober2019 #art #drawing #sketch #sketchbook #draw #inked #artwork #instaart #artistsoninstagram #drawings #inkdrawing #penandink https://www.instagram.com/p/B3E5GnHDaJF/?igshid=12bfxi76se70o

“The moon, once full, was now waning; the black shadow dropping from the growing crescent on its surface blanketing the city streets with an oily black absence of light.” Another harrowing short story by Nathan Kenkel with a cover design by me that will debut at @stlspex this Saturday at the St. Louis Central Public Library downtown! https://www.instagram.com/p/B1GzWXUDk3x/?igshid=wo3pz9zmx1lf

Tonight I will be displaying this painted map of Rodinia for the first time at the Gretchen Brigham Gallery on Union Ave. in St Louis! Join me for the opening reception of the League of 32 Signs Art Show from 5-8:30. There will be refreshments available and I will also have prints and comics for sale! #leagueof32signs #32signs #stlouisart #stlouisartshow #stlouisgallery #talesofrodinia #talesofthemobius #rodinia #steampunkfauna #steampunk #megafauna #steampunkmegafauna #patrickweck #bluemaskstudio #indiecomics #illustrator #illustration #instaart (at Gretchen Brigham Gallery) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByvP9yGD1hK/?igshid=1tskc4zx8517v

Many insects and arachnids of Rodinia exhibit the stunning characteristic of face-like markings on their abdomens. This could be a case of unintended unnatural selection, as many Rodinians believe it unlucky to kill or harvest anything with a face, so insects bearing such patterns are more likely to survive and reproduce. A more sinister theory is that such invertebrates are the work of the avian Phantoms, who may use them as spies 🕷🐞🐝🐜 Prints now available on my Etsy shop!

The male Laurentian gangis moth has four large scent organs which can exceed the length of the abdomen when inflated. The moths are frequently harvested for these coremata, which are used in Rodinia to create a pungent type of cologne, popular amongst the megafauna. 🦋 🦋 🦋 #gangismoth #tentaclemoth #cabinetofcuriosity #supernaturalhistory #cabinetofwonders #insectcollection #indieart #talesofrodinia #talesofthemobius #rodinia #steampunkfauna #steampunkmegafauna #patrickweck #bluemaskstudio #illustrator #illustration #instaart https://www.instagram.com/p/BxvOpFyjnKk/?igshid=1giovgp8e6cks

Trilobites were marine arthropods that lived in the ocean for 300 million years. The first image is a linoleum block print. The second is a fossil that I've had since I was a kid and I used to sit and watch natural history documentaries while rubbing the stone with my thumb until it was smooth. #trilobite #trilobites #naturalhistoryart #paleoart #paleoartist #naturalhistory #paleoillustration #fossil #linoprint #printmaking #linoblock #blockprint #linoleumblockprint https://www.instagram.com/p/Bwzeb4SD52U/?igshid=w3quo7rsf791

The Ammonite! They ruled the seas for millions of years until they were killed off by the same comet/asteroid that finished off the dinosaurs. I made two color versions using watercolors (I'll post better photos and close-ups once I get the paper flattened out). #ammonite #ammoniteart #paleoart #paleontology #sciart #scienceillustration #naturalhistory #fossil #paleoartist #illustrator #linoblock #linoprint #linoprinting #blockprinting #printmaking #patrickweck #bluemaskstudio https://www.instagram.com/p/BtrIxKCjH9-/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=revjv5yp50fw
