I've been hired by
@birdsoftheworld.bsky.social
as an illustrator through the Bartels program and I couldn't be more excited to start! This has been a dream of mine for years. My Turkey vulture has been finished for a while so I am finally sharing that too! π‘πͺΆπ¨

Animal Photo Reference Repository

GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. Itβs now basically impossible to find accurate art references. Enter this: a repository of open-access, AI-free images of wild & exotic taxa. Artists creating *without AI* have blanket permission for derivative/transformative use.

Pristine crayfish (Cambarus pristinus) Commissioned by a graduate student for their advisor. A fun gift featuring the species they study, and the net matches the equipment they use. π‘
