I am so excited that my habitus illustration of the Neuropteran Ceraeochrysa lineaticornis was chosen for California Academy of Science’s December 2009 newsletter. I did the image for Norm Penny while doing an internship with the CAS, where I also rendered a sweet head profile of Ceraeochrysa smithi that was used for a different section of his genus revision.
my artwork was chosen for the cover of the December CAS proceedings issue!

CONGRATULATIONS! Your artwork is amazing.
Word up, dude! Congrats on the publication. It’s funny, but the Cereochrysa lineaticornis is my favorite Cereochrysa, unlike that poser Ceraeochrysa smithi. Seriously, get a life smithi…stop trying to be so lineaticornis and be your own Cereochrysa!
Anyway, congrats on your acheivement. Looking forward to seeing more such publications in the future!
Your illustrations are amazin’…….. just like the ’68 Mets.
Marlinian —
If I could even decipher 1% of which you write or draw, I would be proud of myself beyond words. Apparently the word on the street is correct — you did go to special school!
Your talent for writing and drawing is just plain stupid.
Love from the clam beds.

Marlin,
Your work is phenomenal. I learn so much from your creations even though I am not a scientist. I believe your work is a bridge between the professional and the common man who knows little of the scientific arena.
Congratulations on your incredible accomplishments. I await the unfolding of even more as time goes on.
Marlin, that ant cover is cool. I think we should frame it and put it up on the wall. Seriously! It’s like fine art. What are the odds of getting a framable print? Do you own the rights or the mag?
Hope you can get down to the land of milk and honey someday (ha!).

Wow!!! Amazing stuff, I have never seen the chef one which I would love to have a copy! I thought you only did bugs, maybe you could do a chef one with raw and cooked bugs : )
