Sorry, new follower, putting “Web 3, AI-Artist” in your bio means I think there’s a possibility you will a) mint my work for an NFT, b) train on my work, or c) want to talk with me about how I should do those things so I’m not “left behind” This is Bluesky. No games. Into the blocked abyss.

Cowbird… acrylic on paper from 10+ years ago. The brown-headed cowbirds, with their squeaky, bubbling call and silly dances are back! These birds get a lot of hate due to their nest parasitism, but they are native and part of the balance here. . . #birdart #painting #natureart

I painted this awhile ago and realized I never posted it. Rose-breasted Grosbeaks tend to stop at my feeders for only 1-2 days around this time of year, but they spend the whole day chowing down on my seeds. #BirdArt SciArt #Watercolor #FineArt #AnimalArt 1/2

Midnight the blackbird is finished and drying! When framed he will join my other artworks in my Etsy shop, TwibellArts. #LincsConnect #blackbird #birdart #birdartist #originalart #watercolour #watercolourpainting #etsy #etsyshop #etsyseller

Do we need to have the conversation about how bird legs work again? (Yes this is in reference to a certain character design that was revealed recently.)

My take on a green sweat bee for today's #TransArtMay, though I took a few liberties with its coloration in keeping with the theme 😉

I know it's not good to post new art so late at night but I just want to share something (at least not previously shared in full) - so here's "Hidden Shore". I referenced a photo I captured off Lighthouse Point Trail just north of Deception Pass, Washington state. #watercolor #gouache #dragons

Some of the garden wildlife from April - pen and watercolour sketches. The tadpoles seem to lose their external gills(?) after a few days. 🐡

Duo Detox Doodles! These animals are from my 100-day journey to swap scrolling for sketching: www.joyousjoyness.com/pages/detox-... Love those potoos, frogmouths, and fennec/red foxes! #art #bird #fox #animal #sketch #DetoxDoodles #sciart #inkart

Up next was likely the Northern Cardinal. They show up everyday. Sometimes I catch two males or females feeding at once. I also see juveniles around May. The male Cardinal loves feeding his family and will sometimes feed other baby birds that are not his own. #Cardinal #birdart #birds #bird

New arrivals at our feeders this week include: Red-winged Blackbirds, Downy Woodpeckers, House Finches and Catbirds! Here’s a digital painting I created as a study YEARS ago. I love these whiny sounding birds. 🩶 #birdart #sciart #art #tbt #birds

For no particular reason, I once again had to share this quote from the legendary Phil Tippett with one of my dear colleagues. I should print this out and frame it.

Northern parulas are back in Downeast, Maine! Heard at least 3 singing in my yard this morning. Just as I’m finishing up painting a pair. Warbler season is the best. #parula #NOPA #springmigration #birdart #birds #watercolors

Flutter: The Elegant Hummingbird This ruby-throated hummingbird pastel captures that magical mid-flight moment as he sips nectar from bright blossoms. Available as premium archival paper, metal, and canvas prints. #HummingbirdArt #WildlifeArt #PastelPainting #BirdArt

Spent morning chilling with the pencils and produced a male Yellowhammer among some summer grasses #art #birdart #birds #bird #birdsoftheworld #nature #drawing #wildlife

Softness in the Still The quiet settles in the morning air, light resting warm and steady on my skin. The robin stands alert in the stillness, until the moment softens into calm. #natureart #birdart #robinpainting #morninglight #stillness #calmart #digitalpainting #quietmoments #peacefulart

Smalltooth Sand Tiger Unfortunately I got to know about this shark under sad circumstances when a few days ago, one of these harmless sharks was beaten to d3ath by ignorant fishermen in São Miguel island, Azores. This is my homage to that poor animal. Roughly 3:30 hours. #sciart #sharks

Osprey study, oil paint on 5.5x8.5" paper. 🪶 #sciart #birds

I painted a reconstruction and made an infographic for the Anhanguera mount in my school! #paleoart #sciart

Drew a southern leopard frog in graphite this week. I think I’ve drawn more frogs than any other animal at this point. It’s become a way to measure how my hands have changed. The texture on this one would not let me put the pencil down. #sciart #pencil

I fixed the riso and printed some Quails! This was April's risopost print! but I'll be putting a 8x10 in print up in the web shop soon!

A lot of my #Twitch viewers say they do laundry and chores while they have me up in the bg, I'm happy to be that! So I requested a laundry day channel point reward from @wagwoanimator.bsky.social . 🥰🧦 Check it out! give a fallow, also he's available for ani commissions for things like this. 💙

Yesterday (May 3rd) was Wild Koala Day. Couldn't finish until today. 🤣 Therefore, I now present a Koala (Phascolarctos cinereus) in Micron pens on Strathmore drawing paper. 💙🤘💚 #koala #wildkoaladay #koalabear #animal #animalart #nature #wildlife #sciart #illustration #drawing #sketch #penandink

I finally got to finish this piece ♥ I'm so pleased with it! Yellow tail cribo, and it's in the shop! fimbrysforge.etsy.com

Result from the Milia 5 #paleostream! This locality, from the late Pliocene of Greece, got a lot of attention in the early 2000s for the discovery of giant probocidean remains, most notably 5 m long tusks of Mammut borsoni, the European Mastodon.

“Barely Awake”, coloured pencil on cotton paper, with thanks to a raccoon in my neighbourhood. #WildlifeArt #SciArt

Just getting to make a quote to this. One of the things I know for a fact is lifting up your community and those around you is important. The simple act of celebrating those around you, reposting and commenting on others work feeds the soul. We need that more then like and follows.

Painting in Procreate this morning.

Robin sketch. At first I started drawing him in red ballpoint, but it didn't feel right so switched to black, but then it looked odd so I threw some Ecolines on, but I've only limited colours... anyway, birb -3403 🎨🐡🪶 #art #birdArt

Finally, the full #PolarLights piece! Have a red-throated diver (or loon, depending on which side of the Atlantic you're on) couple🪶 Please check out the full zine! All proceeds go to Antarctic conservation: polarlightszine.itch.io/polar-lights-4 #SciArt #birdart #traditionalart #loon #nature

Reposting the snow leopard tutorial too now that larger images are allowed. If the text is too small to easily read, right-clicking and opening the image in a new tab seems to solve it for me. #tutorial #snowleopard #cat #art #SciArt

Golden Whistler for this month's #BirdWhisperer This month's bird was a total cutie! I love a round little guy, especially one with bright colors like this one :3 #watercolor #art #birdart #birds 🦉

Day 30 of #repostyourart: Whimsical I love this painting, and it's almost that time of year again! Can you spot the two Hooded Merganser ducklings that got mixed into this brood? #BirdArt #SciArt #Watercolor #FineArt #AnimalArt #repostyourart26
