I have seen a lot of echidnas around recently they are some of my favourite animals :) this one seemed to be trying to work out if I was ants

For the last 3 years 2 mos 8 days you've supported my journey to be part of the Black midwifery renaissance in the US through food and housing insecurity and many MANY moves. I put all those resources back into training, instruments, and medications. A car is the last piece and I'm $6172 from goal.

I'm not sure how to word this but, there is a heck of a lot of communicable virus floating around in the air in indoor spaces in the US right now. Vaccines are awesome but I rarely see an important key to actually preventing transmission/infection mentioned: N95 masks are very good. please consider

Some days, laboriously typing out a multi post screed in anger and deleting it before posting is self care 🙃

Opening my ko-fi store back for the New Year, looking forward to getting back to some bird art! Link in comments ✨

strongest advice i have for anyone whose posts ever go viral here: limit your replies on all posts to followers only. it’s essential.

final pen drawing. I submitted this one to The Art of #InverteFest - December 2025 Edition: drive.google.com/file/d/1JCXz... #sketchbook #sciart

Wishing you all a quacking #InternationalUnsolicitedDuckPicDay

For the #JanuArty theme of #brush, how about a brush with danger? Ok, that's probably pushing it but work with me here 😂

See a fox, post a fox.

I solved the 'it's still the Year of the Snake, but everyone thinks it's Year of the Horse' problem. It's now the month of the Snorse. #sygnin

I PROMISE this bird is completely uninjured. It's a Luzon Bleeding-Heart (Gallicolumba luzonica), a type of ground-dwelling dove native to the Philippine Islands. The red spot has led to this group being known as the "bleeding hearts" or 'paloma de punalada' = "stabbed pigeon." (📷: Kao-Tai)

明けましておめでとう I’m late to posting this and for some parts of the world, it hasn’t been a great start. Last year, I finally finished my tarot, and since then, I have been a bit lost when it comes to my goals in the art world.

I need a mood booster, let's talk about capybaras. Here's a capy demonstrating one of MANY ways they can move through the water: running along the bottom. They're 'semi-aquatic' mammals, just like hippos, seals & beavers. They LOVE water. (📷: Fernando Maidana)

Today’s the day! ‘The Fisher King’ is available, in full, on Bandcamp. It’s also on YouTube with its full complement of photo collages (link in comments). johnmdavis.bandcamp.com/album/the-fi...

Super excited to have some of my art in this anthology. Lots of talented writers and artists in there. Proceeds go to some good causes. Campaign goes til the end of the month.

You can commission me ✌️ This is the kind of thing I do. You can share that post to help me, if you want 🙏

Chapter 35: The Throne Room in Chaos Illustration 35/52 #WrensAria, an action-filled(?) illustrated animal fantasy arriving soon!

Cool squirrel thing OTD: I found this little balsam pillow among my late father's things. It's almost certainly from his childhood in the 1930s #sqrlpix (note the 2 cents postage)

Another feather practice ink drawing…the gem thief!

We made a visit to the Mini Time Machine Museum of Miniatures recently to see their Harryhausen exhibit. It was really cool seeing props from some of my favorite movies from childhood. Back when stop-motion was king.

Oh my gosh, look how neat this is! Click on the post below to see my photo that this typewriter art is based on #birds 🌿

#januarty 4 "drop" - took a while to figure out something for the prompt. Maybe one of them is the other's pet for today's prompt.

CW: pet loss Today's #JanuArty theme is #pet. We're coming up on a year since we lost this precious person. Here's a painting I did of him doing his absolute favorite thing, dozing in the sun 💜

Coming to @everydayoriginal.bsky.social on Wednesday! "Silver and Roses" A friend of mine has the most stunning rose garden and every year I try and take photos of her dogs and mine with them, this is based on the result of those photos, just magical dogs and magical flowers.

My latest #BookReview is for a soon-to-be-released sweet romantic tale from @cornellwriter.bsky.social that boasts a retro space age/noir aesthetic which is the kind of thing I can't get enough of. Extra points for cover art by @kiwifruitbird.bsky.social & interior art by @theahmedraafat.bsky.social

Ringed Kingfisher from Birdtober 2025 vs Belted Kingfisher from Birdtober 2024. I did buy more marker colors between drawing these two, which is why Ms. Ringed turned out smoother. But I love comparing my skill over a year! #BirdArt #SciArt #Copic #Ohuhu #ArtYear #AnimalArt 1/2

If you missed this news, and you’re on NetGalley, this is happening this month. Don’t miss it!

All the best creatures on one page! That is handy!

Yuck, bluesky just did that thing where they turned off my "require alt text before posting" setting so if you saw that first post without alt text, no you didn't! 😂 But seriously, if you tend to post in a rush and forget to add alt text, it's a good setting when it isn't TURNED OFF WITH NO WARNING
