Very excited to finally be able to post my papercraft sea invertebrates together like this!!! Species are: Giant clam (Tridacna gigas), Fried Egg Jellyfish (Cotylorhiza tuberculata), Crusty Nautilus (Allonautilus scrobiculatus), Neon Variable Sea Slug (Nembrotha kumbaryana)

I can finally share the Giant Clam illustration I created for @20kleagueszine !!

This was my favorite illustration of 2025 :) My papercraft has evolved considerably over the last few years

Spring 2026 newsletter came out today! New publications, zine tabling, and some life. Reminder that I have a free newsletter with updates, art previews, and events. I only send emails every few months, and it's a great way to keep up with me off of social media.

Updates from Ari Ganahl

A way to learn what I’m up to without having to keep up with social media. This newsletter goes out roughly 1-2 times per season, depending

Did this illustration for the #InverteFEST Anthology that just got released! It's an illustration for the story "The Potter and Her Prey" that my collaborator Jesse Jing wrote.

Check out the whole anthology for free here. The book features 17 collabs between writers and artists, that all focus on different invertebrates!

Worked on a short game for the Autistic Creative Hub's annual game jam for Autism Acceptance month.

It is absolutely game jam quality bc as you can expect we ran out of time to use everything we made, but I got what I wanted out of the project :)

All of the games from this year's jam can be purchased in a charity bundle here

March zine just dropped!

These are rewards for Rubber Ducky Isopod members on Patreon! I do a new zine or small art piece every month. This one is based on a playlist I made a while ago, and it's my first accordian-fold zine.

Designed to look like my 3rd gen ipod nano. One side has The Playlist, the other side explains the history of this playlist and has a couple drawings I did in 2011 and 2012.

[arithetonberry]

I'll take a break from comics to make this quick zine. It's just a playlist, I won't even have to draw much! -guy who is about to do So Much Lettering 🖌💥

Zines ship out this Friday (4/3) to all Rubber Ducky Isopod patrons!

Recently completed commission for @tiniesttinsel of their character Callisto. I'm thrilled with how this came out, thank you for giving me such a cool OC to draw!!

I take commissions like this on Ko-Fi! Feel free to DM me with questions.

New lino print dropped! These were originally a Patreon reward for $10+ members, but I made a lot of them so now they're also available on my store.

If you would like to help me make more work like this, I now have a Patreon where I post WIPs, take suggestions, and sometimes mail zines.
