Jake the Tardigrade
My friend James Weiss is a master of the microscope. He’s helped millions of people around the world develop a deeper understanding and appreciation for the microscopic through his YouTube channel, Journey to the Microcosmos — including me! I created this painting after talking with James for an ART LAB video: The world’s smallest artwork is microscopic
James told me he names all of his tardigrades; Jake is the star of the show here, in the center. On the bottom right is another tardigrade he filmed as it was hatching. They’re surrounded by a landscape of algae and diatoms.
I like playing with the sense of scale in my work – making a large, 3’ x 4’ painting of organisms that can only be seen with a microscope is exactly my kind of fun!
