Aussie. Animal husbandry by day, arts and crafts by night. Dedicated to wild things and wild places, and all the little critters we share our lives with. No AI/NFTs.
Feeling a lot of feelings at the moment. Thinking a bit about one of my favourite quotes from one of my favourite books.
To the late night crowd Do something That brightens someone else's day
The space between all things. Everything dances in #Iceland. The place where the planet smells freshly baked. If the earth doesn't knock you down with its swaying, the wind will. The only way to stay upright is through dance.
A sassy snow leopard, again drawn as a request for a donation to conservation charities <3 #mammals #snowleopard #sketch

A request for a black wolf among cherry blossoms absolutely hit my sweet spot and I just couldn't help but spend a little extra on this one! #mammals #wolves #wildlifeart
I had a request for 'a grizzly bear and a salmon who are friends', with an extra generous donation to Wild Green Future- so I indulged in an extra generous little illustration, which was tremendous fun.
I'm going to be sharing these little pics I've done for charity donations for the next little while I think, haha! A little puffin in his puffin-hole. #birds
There's literally NO reason for this. It is not ethical because data centers suck up water and pollute like crazy. It's nothing but a stupid, hollow fad built on the hot air of tech bros. C'mon - we came here to ESCAPE THIS STUFF. We just want a simple working site. Block block block block block.
Today, we’re excited to introduce Attie, currently as an invite-only closed beta. Attie is the first agentic social app on atproto. It’s something completely new — an experiment in making building on the protocol more accessible.
My painting of a Blue Jay from 2023 fits perfectly into today's #BirdOfTheDay theme - #blue. #watercolor #art #traditionalart #bskyart #painting #birdart
Another little drawing for fundraising, for someone who requested a Japanese flying squirrel! #mammals #illustration #wildlife
When I say I'm bad at social media I truly mean I'm bad at it, haha! But I recently participated in Wild Green Future's annual charity battle, and offered art for donations- so maybe I'll remember to share some here! One participant requested a red-breasted nuthatch. #birds #illustration #wildlife
I finished this piece earlier in the year for the Polar Lights charity zine and am still really proud of how it came together! The zine still available at polarlightszine.itch.io and they donate annually to the Antarctic and Southern Ocean Coalition. #wildlife #mammals #muskox #arcticwolf #wolf
I was in Norway for a short vacation and I drew some things I found at the beach.
Some nasty weather happening in my corner of the world at the moment, so... time to pull out the watercolours again and have a dabble while we sit tight and wait for it to pass! #fox #foxes #watercolour
I have so much love for little round #birds - I can't explain how I felt the first time I saw a wild European robin when I was in the UK a few years back. A couple of little studies here, honestly amazed by the colours on these guys.
Ouch, I have not done well at keeping myself active here! Such a delight to see a sweet little bunch of notifications when dropping in for the first time in a while, though.
Thank @authorjessowen.bsky.social for sharing this with me. A MUST READ for artists, and really for any creative. Written by Dave Polumbo www.muddycolors.com/2024/04/the-...
The A.I. Lie
I recently had a job which did not go well. Eight weeks in, I was mired in sketch revisions and being asked to start over for the fourth time and so I decided to cut my losses and walk. When I share...

Haven't worked on a traditional media piece this involved in quite a while, though once upon a time pencil pet portraits were my staple! #goldenretriever #petportrait #pencil #traditionalmedia
