I’m fairly new to goodreads 📚 And I’ve found it a useful way to catalogue my reading lists and help me decide what to read next 🤔 But ratings and reviews also help authors connect with their target audience 😊 You can find a link to my author page through the linktree in my bio 🔗

Really not sure about this pairing but I believe they both belong to the Cucullia genus 🐛 🦋 #TeamMoth #NatureWithin

I enjoyed putting these together 🖤 🤍 Beginning with a colour photo, I wrote a code that stripped away layers based on contrast thresholds. Then I reconstructed those layers to form these faux-hand drawn images. They now appear in #NatureWithin
