I had almost forgotten the Mind Horse. We mustn't forget them, and their wonderful variety. You could always tell who'd had a horse phase, or still horsed, but all mind horses are earnest. #Sketchbook #Mindhorse

Nocturnal beasts for my night beasts.

#batappreciationday For this year's bat appreciation day, I present to you a painting I did in 2023, when I was just beginning with my watercolors.

quote with your portraits! 💞✨ #украрт #ukrart #digitalart #draw #drawing #illustration #arttrain

I've been a sustaining member of @xercessociety.bsky.social for a long time, giving a little each month. They're really one of the ONLY orgs in this country focusing on invertebrates, and they do good work. I fully support them!

spring in bloom 🌸✨

I loved my Mind Horse so much I made her canon.

My new unicorn pin sitting on its fancy new backing card! 😁 #ArtShop #bestiary #illustration

New on the podcast - melittology! Nan Evans speaks with Dr. Karen Wright about our native bees and the Washington Bee Atlas. 📷: WA Department of Agriculture #PNW

The newly iconic Elbows Up Touque, on display at Needles in the Hay. Top 20 pattern on Ravelry at the mo. Internationally. Yeah-huh!

I love all bees, but yes, boost for the rest of them too!

now that that’s excised from my brain, back to work

all of this work feels like yesterday, and it was 10 years ago

Baby Epona 2/5 🧡

Raccoon family I made for Furnal Equinox 2025. This is the second one I've made, and the babies are a bit older this time. The mother reminds me of a cautionary commercial for kids that used to air. If you'd like a beast, please check out bittythingsandbeasts.etsy.com #Raccoons #Mammals

The result of last night's PIXEL ART STREAM!! Thank you everyone requesting and all the raiders who came by! It's a good start, but I'll keep practicing to infuse my own style in ^_^

It's never about the science. It's always about having a legal basis for your fear and hatred of other people.

I wish the crowpeople were in charge

16 April 1917 | Charlotte Salomon was born. The German Jewish artist from Berlin was murdered in #Auschwitz on 10 October 1943. She was 5 months pregnant. She created an autobiographical series "Life? or Theater?: A Song-play" made of 769 paintings. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlot...

Crab is like: 🥺👉👈✨💖

With Easter and thoughts of bunnies fast approaching, I thought this video would be a fun one to revist. Even wildlife get the zoomies and this snowshoe hare from last fall is no exception. 🌿🦊

to me, if i was an ice agent or police officer or anything like that, i would think about what happens after. because whether it's 4 years or 40, there will be an after. they made movies and tv shows about the guys who hunted down 80 year old nazis. there'll be an after

For the night creatures

Instead of believing the myth that three expensive, genetically modified wolves are “de-extinct” dire wolves, let’s look at animals humanity has actually brought back from the brink of extinction using proven science and dedicated hard work: 🧵/6

The kākāpō is also another great example of an animal that was brought back from extinction and whose numbers are growing through conservation efforts. There were just 51 of these in the 1990s, and now there are 244 today! (Photo by Brent Stephenson)

Enjoy this smol little guy, living their best life.

Salmon Shark Pupper! These sharks are so cute, they're just round little guys. They look like they were designed for a movie. Named for the salmon like spots they have! #Sharks #MarineLife #SalmonShark #PolymerClay

I have all of my roughs done for the "Named Swords and their Wielders" mini that will accompany the DREAM OF SWORDS books on their journey out to kickstarter backers. The books are scheduled to arrive tomorrow; I hope to get these all inked up by next week.

If you see this, post your painting/drawing of a dragon 🐲 Posca on mini canvas. The learning curve is steep, but I like them. #Dragons #Paintings #Art #Posca

Pacific Rim is 13 years old and no big monster movie since has looked as good, felt as believed-in, or bought into its own bullshit so whole-heartedly. Changed the game and perfected it in one stroke

Who needs AI when real-life action figure customers exist? This dope ass Thew toy was made by the sadly departed Andrew of Grimlock's Customs. I'll never open it and I'll never forget him ❤️

SHORE LEAVE - a comic about going to the beach (1/13)

Blodeuwedd - Born from flowers with magic to make the most beautiful bride, only to defy her purpose by falling in love with another man and so is punished by being turned into an owl so she may never face the light of day again.

Hand painted figurines are here! These sculptures were brought to life by the incredibly talented @indiaboeckh.bsky.social Go check out India's work. They aren't open for custom commissions at the moment, but they will be soon!

Made a quick test print from my latest lino block, a little homage to Claus the printmaker from Pentiment 😌 Gotta clean up the bg a litle but I’m happy with how this is looking, and the red ink I got is pretty much the shade I was envisioning! #Art
