Description
A species is called "r-selected" if it reproduces quickly with lots of offspring at a time. They strive for quantity over quality as most of their offspring are not expected to survive to maturity. Think of a salmon spawning hundreds of eggs up the river, most of which won't make it back to the ocean. Contrast K-selected species, which have few babies at a time and invest a lot of energy into parental care - like us.

This is a gross oversimplification, of course. If you want to learn more about r and K selection, go here: [link]

What is this?

June 17, 2013 marked the beginning of the fifth annual 50-50, an art marathon hosted annually by Sanchez Art Center in Pacifica, California. 69 local artists were selected to each create fifty small works of art in fifty days. They will be diplayed in a 7x7 grid with the 50th set to the side, like so: [link]

My chosen theme is "Bioforms," Bic ballpoint pen on Canson "classic cream" drawing paper, 6x6. Each will be mounted on a rigid particle board backing. Here I will illustrate scientific concepts and explore the organic forms and patterns found in nature.

They are for sale for, you guessed it, $50. Please message me through my facebook artist page if you are interested. [link]
