I'm so pleased I can finally share my Antarctic Imperial Cormorant illustration for #PolarLights! This was a bird I knew little about before, but I quickly fell in love with their incredible colors and how they contrast against the vivid blue & white of the Antarctic landscape. 🎨 #SciArt #BirdArt 🪶

Digital illustration showing an Antarctic Imperial Cormorant (Leucocarbo atriceps bransfieldensis) in the foreground, with multiple others in the more distant background. This sleek black and white bird has a vivid blue eyering and bright orange caruncle over the bill during the breeding season. Its stout hooked bill is ideal for catching fish, and its slight shaggy crest is relaxed, not raised. The sky is a deep blue, reflected in the water, while the cormorants rest on and fly past blocks of ice, crumbling rocks, and a tall snowy mountain.

I'm incapable of leaving well enough alone. I'm finished adding bells and whistles, time for finishing work. I get to try out my new tiny felting iron.

Night Migration Oil, 30x20in, 2024 at @ixarts.bsky.social Art Show next month! In our night sky there is a dark band that runs through the Milky Way, known as the Great Rift. This darkness is where the stars of our galaxy are obscured by vast clouds of interstellar dust and geese … er, gas.

Black Friday? Black Sicklebill! This is one of the cards in the #boardgame Birdwatcher. These strange birds have long spoon-shaped feathers hanging off their shoulders which are *not* the wings - these can be folded to convert the bird into his strange display shape 🎨🪶🐡 see reply for video!

Illustration of a Black Sicklebill, a large black bird of paradise with a reflective turquoise patch on his back, red eyes, and a very long tail. The strangest feature are the wide rounded feathers that cascade past his shoulders, for use in display, but here they are folded in a resting position.

Original artwork available. 🙏 The piece is cropped closer than originally envisioned, and is the better for it. I encourage framing it with a mount to the indicated crop marks. ☺️ 'Sparrah' Watercolour on paper, 63 × 60 mm. £80 + £5 UK or £11 International tracked postage.

Tiny watercolour painting of the head and chest of a male house sparrow; its torso faces the viewer while its head is turned towards the right. The piece is photographed with a brush and a penny, which is roughly three-quarters the size of the sparrow's head. The painting is effectively life size.
