We really like octopi here. And cuttlefish. Cephalopods in general are smart, tough, funny, and change color when they dream. Here is some lovely cephalopod art from Bridget Vincent. Here’s more from the artist on Art the Science:
“My art usually mirrors what I study, so marine biology, ecology, and evolution relate the most to my work. Some pieces have been based on my research projects, some inspired by papers I’ve read, and others showcase the immense biodiversity in some groups, especially cephalopods. However, I’ve been focusing on bettering my technique lately and plan to start creating pieces that relate more directly to evolutionary principles soon.”
Each Friday is PiDay here at Adafruit! Be sure to check out our posts, tutorials and new Raspberry Pi related products. Adafruit has the largest and best selection of Raspberry Pi accessories and all the code & tutorials to get you up and running in no time!
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat – we’ll post the link there.
