Ahh, can't mention the hazards of the Sciences without showing a bit of an explosion! Be sure to follow my project in order to see 'exclusive to followers only' stuff: extra sketches, designs and behind-the-scenes information. Every person who 'follows' helps the project get more public awareness.
My Latest enamel pin design shows that Murf•Bot mixed one chemical too many — and now he's blasting off with beakers, bread, and questionable judgment. 🧪💥
FYI: All pin designs is subject to change, (especially this one with so many unsafe sharp points.)
I'll be updating each of the designs in the coming weeks, contacting the manufacture -- making sure the designs are good enough for making the quality enamel pins.
The next pin design should be available in a few more days, (before Murf•Bot tries "just one more experiment.")

Murf•Bot-EXPLOSION: cleaned up and colored into a black outline vector image for manufacturing the enamel pin.
When I first started developing this character, I chose a muted sage-teal color. Subconsciously, I may have been thinking, “This is the kind of robot the military would send—as a gift—to the enemy.”
Over time, I began seeing Murf-Bot more as a metal robot. The cooler blue tone seemed more fitting because it evokes steel, electricity, chrome surfaces, and other mechanical elements.
So, which version do you prefer? Did my original instinct pick the correct green color? Or does the new blue make the character better?
Please vote in my first poll. Help me select the 5th PEST! Pin.
If this thing goes well, there might be more to come. If so… we will expand the poll and add your suggestions. So please add comments for anything missing. ;)
Here are the final-ish pin designs for the axolotl dragon pin series so far. All of these little guys will have a rose-gold metal used on their lines, and the lavender axolotl will have a glitter gradient in the star.
I need some help with selecting the final colors for the sleeping axolotl dragon.
This guy can either be a blue-gilled leucistic, or a copper axolotl.
Blue-gilled leucistics are mostly white with a little bit of pink and purpley-grey-blue on their gills. So the super-blue coloration is definitely diving straight into fantasy colors. I created a white variant that allows a bit more blue to show through on the wings to hopefully differenciate it from the normal leucistic. Finally, I tried a copper morph.
Howdy, Paleo Pals! We are thrilled to be back and part of Super League of Science '26 for the Paleo Pals sequel campaign, and boy are we excited to show you folks what we've been digging up.
Just like the first series, Paleo Pals: Series 2 hopes to celebrate the most iconic and strangest organisms of prehistory with dyed enamel pins, stickers, charms, and a few more secrets down the line! Additionally, this time around, we're cross-collaborating with KristKC's Tiny Dinos, so expect some cross-collab AND returning backer goodies.
But same as last time, we need YOUR guys' help to vote on the best of the best and fill out our community vote stretch goals! 🫵
We've got quite a few returning names from the first campaign's underdogs. If start noticing popular demand, or we blaze past our stretch goals, you'll have plenty chance to vote on certain animals we skip. So, be loud about your favorites! Rep the critters you wanna see repped!
Thank you so much for stopping by, we'll catch you soon at campaign launch! But for now...

Hello hello!! How is everyone? Excited? Buzzing in their seat?
That's good! So am I- and I've finished decking out the campaign and making mockups for each and every last pin and artwork.
The millipede vote is going great! The ivory and grey are head to head... I wonder who will win? The race is in your hands!
Next up, for the next pin reveal we have the SNAIL!
Many species to choose from! I did my best to pick some unique ones from the many molluscs we know and love. Snails have not yet be touched by me in the past, even though I would draw them every now and again. It has been a requested species in the past from interacting with you all in person! You guys just really like snails!
This is the first stretch goal too, one of three!
Be sure to make your vote on the poll below for your favourite coloured guy or gal or both and in-between (most snails are hermaphrodites!)
MOVING ON!
