My college courses have ended and my work with ESL students in secondary will end in June, so that means I’ll be able to work on some pet commissions. A big project is a gift so I’m looking forward to that one.

The Stoats are already celebrating here! No more trapping on the moors!!!!! For God's Sake, phone a long forgotten friend and demand they vote.... @drrjwarren.bsky.social

@chikame.bsky.social ハヤシくんが飲み物や食べ物をシェアしている投稿を見て、とてもうれしくなったので、絵を描きたいと思いました。 Whenever I see a post from @chikame.bsky.social with her ferret, Hiyashi-kun, it always makes me happy and I love seeing the food too! So I wanted to draw him with one of the drinks they shared.I also have a chubby #ferret !

Berry picking. 🍇 (commission)

Browsing through old photos and omg Throwback to the time when the squirrels built an intricate tunnel system in the snow in the backyard. It was the most precious fucking thing. ever.

The otter keeper gave this baby otter a sock to keep warm. She later turned it into a onesie with holes for the hands, feet, and tail

What happens when you put ferret treats in a dog puzzle on top of a Roomba? Two very different treat finding strategies.

This is the exact look she gives me when she sees me go in the kitchen. Then she runs over to tell me to give her salmon oil 😆

this city keeps on giving

It’s all about HEEM.

Alaska’s ermines keep ecosystems in check, but habitat loss and climate shifts put them at risk. Learn more about these small but mighty predators in this weeks #FocusFriday! #alaskawildlife #ermine #wildlifeconservation

VOLUME UP for mink vocals This is when Emmy first arrived, these chirps say, "I don't know you, go away!" Emmy was born on a farm to be killed for her fur. She escaped, only to be illegally trafficked as a "ferret".

Pippy can jump insanely high for an animal with tiny legs and a noodle body. She can jump a foot off the ground! #pippy #ferrets

post a picture of you that is not actually a picture of you

It’s that time again. Yes, it’s #StoatSaturday

cuddle puddle! For a patron 💕

Almost forgot, so I'll go with a drawing I did a while back! Fitting, since DOGE just fired excellent staff from the BFF breeding program. A Black Footed Ferret. They returned from extinction thanks to ferrets captured in my state! #NearbyNature2025

Today's void shouting- a passion topic can act as a gateway to seeing the bigger picture of what is currently happening. Here's hoping. Let's try to keep DOGE away from the ESA & the BFFs. ESA is a target in P2025. They are going to come for it.

Here is Smaug's intro video from a few years ago on TikTok 🖤🔥 ALT text for all the captions was too long, I'll add the rest of it in the comments.

The scrungly little guy is finished! I love old #ferrets! #myart

> 14 black-footed ferret kits from four different litters born at the Phoenix Zoo in 2024 were released to the wild in Colorado and Kansas in November. Five adult ferrets with ties to the Phoenix Zoo were also released to the wild this fall! [via Phoenix Zoo]

The scrungly little guy is finished! I love old #ferrets! #myart

Another project for class that required us to create a composition that included scenery and only 3 colors. I branched out of my comfort zone and used a combo I've never done: cerulean, quinacridone red, and cadimum yellow. For some nutty intense colors, it made one of the softest palletes. #myart

HUMAN ARTISTS, use only one piece to convince people to follow you. 🌟 A warm embrace 🍂

Lil sketchbook flip thru - a fair amount of sketches I never got back to, but some finished pieces from my October drawing challenge. The last piece is a personal favorite 🖤

"Stand Firm!" I just found out that this painting was juried into the next Infected by Art book! This is 7 of Wands from the upcoming 78Tarot Medieval deck. I illustrated 8 cards for this deck. Original painting available at www.albaillustration.com/original-art #polecat #weasel #bskyart #tarot

In a #ferret group I’m part of, someone posted their scrungly little guy and I love him. So I’m doing an illustration of him. This is the drafting and inking step of the #WIP

Ferret animation please watch please watch please watch. #ferret youtu.be/7w8H3XfnETc?...

Old man Momo usually eats his supper with a leggy sticking out. He doesn’t have the best balance anymore or strong limbs, but it doesn’t stop him! #ferrets #momo

Weasels are not bound by the laws of physics.

So all this coup takeover by the richest man in the world over the most powerful nation in the world keeps me up at night. It’s surreal that we’re just to going about our standard lives while it happens because it’s not as though we can stop cooking, cleaning, working or sleeping.

Clovers! Very proud of finishing this one. Based on some super cute photos of a friend's cat that just fit this painting idea I had perfectly. Can you find any four-leaf ones? 🍀 #art

Bite hard into an apple! Don't bite hard into an egg! 😁🥰

I’m taking a watercolor course to renew my teaching license. This was my first color assignment and like it pretty well! I’m wanting to improve my skills with the medium since I never used it to paint realistically too often. #myartwork #watercolor

it's not so weasy
