L is for Ladybug! Apparently, ladybugs love marigolds in particular, which is great because marigolds are fun to paint #bugalphabet #painting #illustration

what's great about staring at a wall is that if you forget what you're doing, you're still doing it

This is Jess. She is very suspicious of you. Has been within six inches of you all week, but still thinks you're up to something. 13/10

yeah but when are they going to make day-vision goggles

K is for Katydid! This is my favorite one so far! I love how his design turned out and his little expression 🐛 #painting #gouache #illustration #bugalphabet #bugs

A restaurant called “Don’t fill up on that” where all we serve are the free bread courses from other restaurants. Cheddar Bay biscuits, chips and salsa, brown bread from Outback, breadsticks from the Olive Garden, and the servers are always all “now don’t fill up on this” and we all laugh and laugh

My mom’s new book is available for preorder soon!!!!!!!

J is for Jewel Beetle! Back with the bug alphabet! Not sure if this is a truly accurate depiction of a jewel beetle, but I do love his pose #painting #illustration #bugalphabet

Happy Earth Day 🌎 🌹🦋

Earth Day books Ive read recently! All definitely worth a read 🌎 #booksky #bookrecs #earthday

This #EarthDay2025 seems a good moment to share some Gerard Manley Hopkins: “What would the world be, once bereft Of wet and of wildness? Let them be left, O let them be left, wildness and wet; Long live the weeds and the wilderness yet”

We were just supposed to draw piglet 😭

My cat doing the pose I drew her doing ten minutes ago #caturday #cats

COLOSSAL SQUID DAY!!!!!

My hold for Quicksilver finally came in 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Novella collection by Stephen King Overall: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Mr Harrigan’s Phone: cool concept, loved the characters Life of Chuck: strange, but really good. Still thinking about it. If It Bleeds: amazing!! Ending was a little drawn out though Rat: pretty good #booksky 💙📚 #bookreview

Hes a leaf #art #sketchbook #bug

Finally, a tree that loves me back

Signs of spring, ranked.

Doing the whole "she loves me, she loves me not" but with a string cheese stick.

One of the best books Ive read in a while! I just sort of found this at the library and was drawn in by the title. All about how unevenly science has considered the males and females of a species, and what animals tell us about our own society. Highly recommend! Lots of humor in it, too #booksky 💙📚
