I call this one the drill bill woodpecker 😁 Colored with Copic markers. I wish they weren't so damn expensive. #art #woodpecker #birds #portlandartist

I've been going through old drawings and came across this traveling hamster and added color to it with Procreate. I experimented with the brush options on this illustration and really like the results. I'm SLOWLY getting the hang of Procreate. I've ordered stickers for my Etsy shop. #art #hamster

G=Gerenuk I need to start "k" but between the current state of the country and the passing of my beloved dog I've been struggling with motivation. I'm trying to be patient and kind to myself but that is not my forte. #art #gerenuk #endangeredanimals #animals #wildlife

ICONIC: Yosemite National Park workers just hung an upside-down American flag—THOUSANDS of feet up on El Capitan. That’s not decoration. That’s a distress signal. They’re telling us the country is in danger. Are you paying attention? www.sfchronicle.com/outdoors/art...

An old drawing that I resurrected and made into stickers for my Etsy shop. The dress is an ode to my childhood. I was obsessed with drawing dresses and this style was a particular favorite. #art #mermaid #marieantoinette #stickers

A pet portrait of a box turtle I did a couple years ago. Drawing the pattern on the shell was so cathartic. #art #turtles #petportrait

Dog with manta ray? I started this piece by drawing random shapes and then staring at them to see how my mind would interpret them. My brain is strange but I like it. #art #pareidolia #mantaray #dogs #strangeart

Finished up "J" today and for once I'm happy and confident with how it turned out. This sweet creature is a long-eared jerboa native to the deserts of NW China and Mongolia. #art #alphabet #jerboa #wildlifeart #animalart #bigears

A mountain tree shrew of Borneo on a Rajah pitcher plant. The plant provides delicious nectar to attract the shrew in return for their nitrogen-rich droppings. That's right... it's a shrew toilet! #art #drawinganimals #shrews #pitcherplants #wildlife #pdxart

C=Colugo These big eyed creatures are often called "flying lemurs" however, they glide rather than fly and are related to primates and not lemurs! #art #animalart #womenartists #portlandartist #alphabetart #wildlife

I took a DNA test recently and discovered I have strong Welsh ancestry. Maybe that's why I've always been obsessed with the Mari Lwyd 😉 I'm really into drawing bones and skeletons because at my core I be spooky 💀 #art #marilwyd #skulls #wales #welshtraditions #darkart #pdxartist

I completed the pen and ink stage of "J" yesterday. I'm really happy with how this turned out. Now I'll scan and load into Procreate to color digitally. I love coloring my works with Copic markers but dang they are expensive $$$ #longearedjerboa #inkartwork #penandink #art #wildlifeart

A recent pet portrait commission. I'm enjoying my endangered animal alphabet series but I really miss drawing botanicals. I'm thinking of taking a small break after "m" to do a few Art Nouveau and botanical drawings. #art #petportrait #dogs #drawingflowers

I=Ibex This is the Walia Ibex that lives on the rocky, steep cliffs of the Simien Mountains in Ethiopia. Sadly, only about 400 remain in the wild due to human encroachment and livestock grazing. The Pyrenean Ibex is the only animal to have gone extinct twice! #art #animalart #ibex #wildlifeart
