Here’s the illustration I did for it, really proud of this one. It was a fun one. Sidenote, I did the evils of drawing a rollercoaster to myself, I even decided to add the background tracks for bonus torture.

It’s going to be an otter-ly fantastic Wednesday! Why? It’s World Otter Day! 🦦 Did you know that sea otters hold hands to not drift away? Ocean currents can be very strong, so by holding hands, they can make sure they stay together! 🤝 Have you ever spotted an otter? Let us know where! 👇

THE CHESS SET IS DONE! The stain didn't quite work as I anticipated on it black pieces, but it looks beautiful with the wax on top (and it covers a multitude of imperfections, which is handy). Genuinely surprised at myself for getting all that done.

Ant, and how to ant. #bugsky

Card 7: The Chariot - finished just in time for #Invertefest #Bugtarot #Sciart

Another piece from a few years ago whose generally lukewarm reception was rather unequal to my own fondness for it. 🥲Perhaps because of the subject? Garden snail (_Cornu aspersum_), approximately 105 x 60 mm. Watercolour on vintage J Whatman paper from 1940. #Invertefest

Want to see something cool? I'm currently working on chapter pages for my book, and landed on the idea of using slightly more sketchy black and white illustrations to contrast with the full-colour drawings. Here are 2 concepts I've done so far...

The third and final TONK (because I have actual work and commissions to do, much as I'd love to make these forever). I was going for elephant hawkmoth colours (as suggested by @emilyjaneart.bsky.social) but it didn't quite work out. It is garish and pink, however, and that's good enough for me.
