A great time today at the Atlanta Science Festival Scientific Illustration Workshop
I had a wonderful time talking about scientific illustration today. The illustration workshop was a lot of fun, and some great work was done by the audience from specimens (alcoholic and skeletal) ... We also brought in a few live critters to draw from. Kavarna is a wonderful place for scientific engagement. The Amphibian exhibition of illustrations will be open for one more week, so please stop by if you would like to see the impressive collection of illustrations, pottery and photography. Anthony and 'Blinkie' the Breaded Dragon were both hits. Illustration can be very exciting when you are working from live specimens! A great Argentine Horned Frog drawn from markers Tim drew the skull and dorsal plate of an Argentine Horned Frog, Ceratophrys ornata Alison drew from the skull of an African Bullfrog, Pyxicephalus adspersus Aaron, one of the wonderful ASF volunteers (photo by Marc Merlin) It was a very interactive event!

A particularly creepy view of the Green Spiny Toad, #Incilius coniferus. A #SexuallyDimorphic species, the females (like the one pictured here) are larger and much greener. Thanks to @muchobirdnerd for reminding me how fascinating these are with his awesome post earlier today. It motivated me to see if I could find one on exhibit ... and I found her! All creepy looking. #CreepyToad #Bufonidae

#Ambystoma talpoideum, the Mole Salamander was one of the amazing species of #salamander covered in today's workshop 'Monitoring Atlanta's Amphibians' No A. talpoideum have been detected by our surveys thus far, but the species is (or was) predicted to occur here. I had a great time speaking with this passionate group about amphibians, and the importance of monitoring them. #Confluence2016 #Adopt-a-Stream
