good news/bad news! good: I'm temporarily offering some cheap commissions! bad: it's because one of my cats is sick and my wallet's suffering (she's feeling better for now, and the financial strain is hopefully temporary, but it would be really really helpful to get a little boost like...asap 🙃)

a little late posting over here, but happy valentine's day! here's a couple redraws of old vday animal art, featuring a shortnose gar and red river hogs.
another printable for u in honor of #penguinawarenessday -- my penguin species mini zine :) ko-fi.com/i/IC0C11SO6SF
Got the urge to try weaving last week. It's fun! There's a few things I wish I'd done differently but I like the overall result, so I will definitely be revisiting this weird little minimalist penguin.
A little autumnal illustration for the thank you cards I send out with shop orders 🍂🐻

earlier this summer I started volunteering at a wildlife rehab facility. we wear ghillie suits with young impressionable birds or those that are getting too habituated. as you can imagine, this is pretty miserable in 100+ degree weather, but you do what you gotta do to keep these guys wild!
closing out #AvianAugust2025 with another group sketch, this one featuring the extinct birds from the list: kākāwahie, ʻula-ʻai-hāwane, ʻōʻōʻāʻā, and ʻōʻū
catching up on some of the #AvianAugust2025 #birds I missed: Laysan albatross, Hawai'i 'Akepa, Pueo, 'Apapane, 'Alalā, Koloa Maoli, and Manu-o-Kū
