Two weeks ago, hundreds of artists around the world took Twitter by storm during the annual Sciart Tweetstorm. These illustrators, cartoonists, jewelry and clothing designers, painters, sculptors, photographers, and more have one thing in common – a passion for science!
So today’s Beautiful Sunday post is a selection of pieces from the Sciart Tweetstorm that caught my eye. I won’t call them “favourites†because there’s simply no way to pick favourites from such a diverse and broad selection of gorgeous art.
I encourage you to click through to the Tweets to see more of this stunning artwork and maybe hit a few of the artists’ online stores and pick up a little something for yourself or someone else.

Skin in the game
Final day of the 2019 #SciArt Tweet Storm. I came to scientific illustration partly through the tattoo industry. I travel (mostly East Coast) and am currently booking any science based tattoo work, large scale encouraged. I promise the conversation will be great. #scienceink pic.twitter.com/wOKDPVtMBd

Stitching away symptoms
My theme for today’s #SciArtTweetStorm is hand #paresthesia . This #embroidery is the first #mecfs #symptomatology piece I did. The idea came to me while meditating and trying to calm all the tingling and pain in my hands. #SciArt pic.twitter.com/Dl2CEikYy3

Birds of a feather
For the #sciarttweetstorm: Birds are one of my favourite subjects. I love painting feather groups. These were made for a few different interpretive panels in #Manitoba's Interlake region. #SciArt #illustration pic.twitter.com/JrErjD80w9
