Thanks to @jayispainting, I've discovered #ArtAdventCalendar. What a great idea!

Here's day #1: THOUGHT EXPERIMENT (detail), oil on panel, from my #AlternateReality (#AltRealism) series.

Really looking forward to a daily fix of everyone's art this December. 😊

You can buy #GMO #aquarium #fish that glow in the dark. How about a fish that stares back at you with a human eye? How far will we go?

(Sharing this one again to my new instance, sorry if you've already seen it!)

I've always found the archaic spontaneous-generation hypothesis both absurd and fascinating. Imagine leaving some fruit out for too long, and finding fish flying around your kitchen instead of fruit flies. That would be cool! Or maybe not so much. 😳 😂

This #painting is based on the #Boltzmann Brains thought experiment: What if you were nothing more than a disembodied #brain--complete with a lifetime of memories--that spontaneously popped into existence in a most unlikely coalescing of random particles? 🙃

You can buy #GMO #aquarium #fish that glow in the dark. How about a fish that stares back at you with a human eye? How far are we willing to go? I explored that concept through this #painting.

Despite being banned in Brazil, the genetically-modifed GloFish has been found in one of Brazil’s most threatened biomes, the Atlantic Forest.
