today is my birthday 🥮🕯️ i would appreciate if you can share my artworks 🌻

Hey #kidlit illustrators! We’re beginning to think through a mythology-themed beginning-reader series. I'm looking for someone w/ a commercial/punchy, character-forward style who can breath life into ancient lore. Please respond w/ samples + folio link. Please no emails/DMs. 💙❤️ #artcommissions

Yep I'm an animal video person too

Approaching the end of this painting. Something I enjoy about this process is how each part involves different ways of focusing. This was a wing focus day! #bugsky #sciart #traditionalart #bumblebee

Gone fishing sketch. #art #sketch

In April I had the great joy to see some work by Caspar David Friedrich. Amazing work all around but I was particularly struck by his ability to create a perfectly even wash. I thought about that as I painted these shadows. It is a personal challenge! #artsky #bugsky #sciart #traditionalpainting

#ThrowbackThursday ink on paper with a #corvid I hope you'll enjoy. #illustration

The bee is slowly coming into view, thinking shadows may be next. #sciart #bugsky #gardening #illustration

I've had this scene in mind since the spring. Then I had some leftover gouache one morning and made this little landscape sketch, what do you think? #landscape #illustration #sketchbook #nature #gouache

The Legend of Zelda: Rebuilding Hyrule 💖 The Pokopia announcement made me excited for a Zelda x Animal crossing game, so I spent like 9 hours over the weekend drawing this 😅

(Late) #SciArtSeptember Day 14: Mimic A European Paper Wasp, the one many of us think of when we hear "wasp". Lots of other creatures like to mimic wasps, but the original is one of my favorites! (Keychains and magnets available from my Etsy, ships from the US blueappaloosastudio.etsy.com ) #bsnm

I'm following what I see for colors, I always do but feel like sometimes the colors I end up using are surprising and unexpected. Check the close up for that fuzzy texture! #sciart #wip #traditionalart #artsky #bugsky

Dragon, lighthouse-simple but still good practice, for today's page -3174 🎨 #art

Work on the big chaotic graveyard crowd scene continues between other projects. Pencils are complete and I'm ready to ink! #illustration #wip #crowds #cartoons #graveyard

Going for a teal color on this one! It's interesting to observe the morning light in the studio as it changes throughout the year. #sciart #artsky #wip #trafitionalart

The start of something new! This is a bumblebee, found one spring day in Michigan! My best guess is death by pesticide. #bugsky #sciart #bumblebees #artsky

Had some leftover gouache, so I made another sketchbook painting! #illustration #sketchbook #moonlit #ghostly

Happy #InverteFest! Post your bugs 🐞

I'm enjoying #InverteFest and wanted to join in too! Here are a few for the fellow invertebrate fans out there!

Enjoying #InverteFest? I am! Share your invertebrate art and photos with the hashtag!

This beetle's got guts! Unfortunately some of them are on the outside. As someone not trained in entomology, it is tough to know which parts I am painting. #bugsky #sciart #wip #traditionalart

Ok #InverteFest, what's common in your area but likely new to science? This slug moth caterpillar comes in the hundreds in my backyard, their poop accumulates on leaves. When the wind rustles, the poop comes pouring down and sounds like rain. Its identity is currently unknown beyond "Scopelodes".

Chinese artist Leng Jun,I have never seen anything like it. Extraordinary!!!

Bee on a run in my sketchbook. Channeling Richard Scarry a bit, I guess! #bugsky #kidlitart #sketchbook #bees #cartoon
