I've been taking part in #SciArtSeptember for the last several years. Check out the hashtag on Instagram!* Since I have such a big portfolio of prints I am often re-sharing art to match the daily prompts but each year I make a lot of new science art each September. Here's some of my new work.

European Swallow-wort, gel plate print, 11" x 14" by Ele Willoughby, 2023 |
If you find them in your garden (here in North America) you should dig it up and place it in a black plastic bag; don’t add it to compost or it can spread. Or, if you are like me, use it as free art supplies!
Tomorrow, the prompt is simian, so here's a sneak peak at my post.

A Conspiracy of Lemurs, linocut, 9.25" x 12.5" by Ele Willoughby, 2023 |
I decided to extend my ongoing series of Terms of Venery prints by adding a primate. The term for a group of lemurs is irresistible: a conspiracy. Looking at photos of ring-tailed lemurs I can imagine where the term arose. They are very social and live in large groups, huddling to socialize and for warmth. I wanted them to look like they were up to something and made the word lemur with their famously striped tails. Endemic to Madagascar, these wet-nosed primates are sadly endangered due to habitat loss.
I've also been thinking ahead, and though I don't mention [REDACTED winter holidays] until after Halloween, because it can all be a bit too much hype, if you like to send cards, check this out. I have new and returning [REDACTED winter holidays] cards in my shop! It's good to order early to receive them with plenty of time to send them out to your friends and loved ones.

*I'm also posting on Bluesky, where I'm @minouette and at @minouette@spore.social on Mastodon. Sadly, I think I am going to have to remove my account on what is left of Twitter.
