Can't believe I have been hanging out with you bozos for two years

I usually am Team Cephalopod, but you have to give props to this sea otter that took on a very large Giant Pacific Octopus for its lunch (Kachemak Bay, AK). Note the octopus eye in bottom right of second photo. 🦑 🧪

"Conversations," painted in acrylic and pastel. Inspired by quiet walks in the forest. #art #squirrels #alaskanwildlife #alaskanartists #sciart #kidlitart #artsky

Speaking of #booksky, I have my very own book coming out this April! It has 52 #embroidery patterns inspired by wildlife and wildflowers. From beginner to advanced I think any nature lover will find something in this book! Available for preorder anywhere books are sold, or request at your library!

Greetings fellow artists and art enjoyers! It's been a while since I last logged in so I'm sending a very late hello to my new friends. Here is a thing I've been working on lately with traditional watercolors, scanned digitally. His name is Bear.

frankly this makes me never want to post here again

December 1 is Antarctica Day! A day to mark the signing of the Antarctic Treaty in 1959, ensuring this amazing place is preserved for science and peaceful activities. To celebrate, here’s a pic of a Chinstrap penguin I took on my trip in 2012. #Antarcticaday #birds #wildlifephotography #Antarctica

Bluesky needs more bush planes! Let me start. #Alaska #Bushplane #Aviation

Try not to forget: We begin drawing because of our childlike curiosity to replicate - to understand, to dissect - what interests us. The desire to be "good" was never why you picked up the pencil in the first place. Experiment. Be a kid again.

Keep liking my posts and we're gonna end up like this:

Winter will be here soon and today felt like this 😍 🍁 🍂 🐿️ This is a painting I did called ‘Foraging’ The weather was starting to turn and Mr. Nibbles could sense autumn in the air. He spent a happy afternoon foraging for acorns, ready for the winter ahead.

A painting I made after my first visit to Denali and seeing caribou in the wild for the first time. I imagine these animals to have a profound sense of beauty and reverence for death, and this is my silly human attempt at portraying it 🍄 #art #RangiferTarandus #caribou #reindeer #artshare #painting

If you’re not a fan of ai images, or even just want to know when something is ai so you are not misinformed, sub to the @aimod.social labeler 🙂 The team works really hard to review reports and label what we can find so that users don’t have to guess or see those images if they don’t want to.

Thanks! I know exactly what you mean, seeing their different shapes and colors all growing so messily and yet in perfect harmony with each other. They're like ancient forests, like little microcosms, there's definitely a lot to learn from them, more than can be learned in a lifetime! :)

Welcome, new followers! 👋❤️ I guess I should do a new intro! 😅 I'm Xenia, a nonbinary, ND, disabled, chronically ill artist in Norway (originally from US).
