I'm playing around with painting on canvas for the first time in years. Still figuring out if I like it 😅 Sea Angel (Gymnosomata) in mixed media, acrylic background with oil pastel and soft pastel on top #seaslug

The Sea Unseen, a marine charity art zine, will be out on 8 June 🦑 Delighted to reveal the cover of this year's edition! The artists have done a spectacular job as always, and I'm beyond excited for the release. See you on World Ocean Day! - Mod Circlejourney #marineart #zinerelease #comingsoon

Thank you for the great collaboration, I love the art you put to my words, especially the last pannel! 💖

Day Five of #pleinairpril Fitting for Easter Sunday, we got a li'l bunny hopping around on the lawn. I usually do the plainairpril sketch outside, take a photo, and then do the colouring inside. This time, I didn't get a photo, so the bunny looks like an old photo of local rabbit dad Stripey.

Day Four of #pleinairpril I got a stomach bug right in time for easter, so the plainairpril drawings got a little delayed. But I'm confident I can catch up!

Day Three of #pleinairpril Goose I saw on the same walk as the swan. Canada Geese are my favourite kind of goose, I adore how expressive they are with their dark necks!

Day Two of #pleinairpril A swan I saw while walking along the fjord. The next days are going to be more fjord fotos, bc I ruined my feet walking and will have to stay put for a few days 😅

Day One of #pleinairpril Narcissus flower I recently saw on a walk.

Day 5 of #Nudivember Tambja Affinis ... so I really messed up on those gills... #nudibranch #seaslug

Day 3 of #Dinovember Corythosaurus I've decided these guys are going to be candy coloured, to cheer myself up. #dinovember2025 #paleoart

Day 2 of #Nudivember Cerberilla tanna ref by carporali on iNaturalist

Day Two of #Dinovember Spicomellus ... life is doing a number on me right at the beginning of the month, this time. So this spiky buddy was a real chore to get done... But here he is. I imagine if he was in a game, he'd be a halloween coloured variant. #dinovember2025 #paleoart

Day One of #Dinovember Velociraptor I have decided to be more cartoony (and digital) with the dinos. This little one is going on a great adventure. It is a child, and not fully grown yet. #dinovember2025 #paleoart

Day One of #Nudivember Cuthona anulata finding refs for this little guy was challenging, I think it might go by multiple names? Anyway, my dude turned out a little chonky xD

Day 31 of #invertober Death's Head Hawk Moth a good baby. #invertober2025 ref by marek285 on iNaturalist

Day 30 of #invertober Christmas Beetle I am fully caught up & ready to face the last day of the month! #invertober2025

Day 29 of #invertober Red Sea Urchin I like urchins, and especially urchin fossils <3 #invertober2025

Day 28 of #invertober Pearly Green Lacewing I love lacewings. Another one of the critters I wish I could give more time #invertober2025

Day 27 of #invertober American Dog Tick ... so I don't like ticks. at all. and drawing it didn't change that. #invertober2025

Day 26 of #invertober Sea Bunny a li'l orange one #invertober2025

Day 25 of #invertober House Centipede this is my third attempt at the leggy guy... too much segments for my end-of-month brain. #invertober2025

Day 24 of #invertober New Zealand Mussel once again, deceptively simple, surprisingly difficult & time consuming to draw #invertober2025

Day 23 of #invertober Pink Sand Dunes Tiger Beetle it's always nice to get the opportunity to draw a neat little guy I didn't know existed before #invertober2025

Day 22 of #invertober Sea Angel just a quick drawing while my health is still subpar. I'd love to properly paint these beauties one day, though #invertober2025

Day 21 of #invertober Flame Skimmer Dragonfly #invertober2025

Day 20 of #invertober By The Wind Sailor made it all the way to day 20! #invertober2025

did someone say Dinosaur Art Challenge???! ... I guess I know what I'm doing this November.

Day 19 of #invertober Vampire Squid was feeling a little too ambitious and tried to paint the squiddy friend. Mistakes were made, but also important learning experiences. #invertober2025

Day 18 of #invertober Black and Yellow Mud Dauber poor pseudo-wasp has the unhappy distinction of being the first critter on the list I do not find delightful... Sorry, buddy, it's not your fault you look uncanny. #invertober2025

Day 17 of #invertober Blue Lined Flatworm I think this is my favourite artwork of the month so far. Minimalism is great, & I got to use my jelly gouache colours! #invertober2025

Day 16 of #invertober Giant Isopod ... sorry friend, I did you dirty... #invertober2025

Day 15 of #invertober Queen Alexandra's Birdwing Still playing around with the oil pastels - oily crumbs everywhere xD #invertober2025

WIP of day fourteen of #invertober Bobbit Worm Grief support group did a number on me yesterday, and I didn't manage to finish this one. But I'll try and refine it once I have the energy. (also, once again, oil pastels be stinky!) #invertober2025

Day 13 of #invertober Banded Sugar Ant Ant ant, all alone... It needs friends #invertober2025

Day 12 of #invertober Pacific Razor Clam I thought this would be an easier subject, and then I had such a difficult time rendering the shell 😂 #invertober2025 (reposted bc I forgot alt text...)

Day eleven of #invertober Dark Fishing Spider just a li'l guy... #invertober2025

Day ten of #invertober Common Earthworm So cute, so cute! I have loved earthworms since I was a kid

Day nine of #invertober Flamboyant Cuttlefish forgot to post these guys yesterday. Anyway, flamboyant cuttlefish are among my favourite critters! #invertober2025

day eight of #invertober Bee-killer Robber Fly ... so I accidentally used references for Mallophora bomboides instead of Mallophora fautrix xD but I guess they are both floofy #invertober2025

Day seven of #invertober Scaley-Foot Gastropod Today was a real struggle, but tkat said, we made it a whole week! :D #invertober25

Day six of #invertober Buff-Tip Moth #invertober2025

Day five of #invertober Painted Spiny Lobster First ever drawing with oil pastels. Now my fingers smell weird xD #invertober2025

Day four of #invertober Palmetto Weevil What a handsome fellow! I kept it super simple today #invertober2025

Day Three of #invertober Giant Green Anemone This one was super challenging to draw! It turned out more colourful than the reference... 'Twas fun, though. And anemones are so pretty 💚 #invertober2025

Day two of #invertober Red-Banded Leafhopper I saw a cousin of this guy in the garden once, such a pretty (but invasive) bug! Also, switching sketchbook was the right call, I had a much better time today. #invertober2025

Day one of #invertetober Japanese Sea Nettle ... turns out this paper doesn't work for any wet medium, going to have to skip sketch books #invertetober2025

Some more bird art, drawn for the Writing Olympics server in March. Cardinals are such striking birds ❤️
