I’ve turned 35 today! The best present for an artist is their art reposted, and I’d be grateful for that too ) especially since I’m currently open for new opportunities :3

A black & white drawing of Sauron and Morgoth from the Silmarillion. 

In the top part of the canvas, they stand facing each other, their arms in the process of circling each other's waists. Sauron (left) is gazing up into Morgoth's eyes, while Morgoth returns his gaze intently.

In front of them, a banner, in the process of being singed and decayed, reads "Love & Devastation". Beneath the banner are closeups of Sauron and Morgoth's eyes.

An ink drawing of two characters in the foreground of the picture. They are smiling. Both of them have long, dark hair and dark skin, but the man on the left is taller than the woman he is gazing at.

The woman has a star-shaped scar radiating from her eye, and in the background, a huge, bright star shines on the couple.

A pencil portrait sketch of an older woman wearing a headscarf on top of her head, while the escaping hair below swirls around her.

Text is written around her, on the scarf and across her hair:

"the birds sang of your birthβ€”

the waters sang of your strengthβ€”

& the wind sang of your fear.

& I loved you, no matter what."

Slide 1:
The biggest threats to birds aren’t natural, they’re shaped by human systems.
Climate change, deforestation, and the exotic pet trade are all fueled by policy, profit, and power.
Birds lose their homes, their freedom, even their lives because of choices made by governments, industries, and uninformed individuals.

Slide 2:
To help birds, we must challenge the systems that endanger them.
Compassion for birds β€” the heart of Birdhism β€” means not only giving them proper care and love,
but also protecting ecosystems, funding conservation, and rejecting cruelty masked as β€œnormal.”

Step up for birds.

A digital drawing, drawn with Procreate. On the right are a mother wolf and pup, in black and white, except for their yellow eyes. 

The mother is in profile, gazing left, towards the horizon. The pup is looking back towards its mother. Directly behind them, in yellow and red, is the Zia symbol from the New Mexican flag. Further behind them are black and white mountains, based on mountains in the wolves' range.

I entered an art contest for the organization NMWild, in support of Mexican Wolf conservation. I found out about it at the last minute, so I didn't have much time to work on my idea. I didn't win, but I had fun. #wolf #wolves #artsky

In revising my novel, I ended up having to divide it into multiple volumes. I am currently working on the vol 1 revision. The flashback involving the first meeting of three of the protagonists will be placed at or near the beginning of vol 2.

A ballpoint pen drawing of a young girl standing in profile, facing left. She is dressed in pale clothing and has short, dark hair. A headscarf affixed with a clasp covers most of her head. She is gazing up and raising her right hand.

In the background behind her stand a row of sunflowers. To the right of where she stands, handwritten text reads, "the girl who became the Sun."

A ballpoint pen drawing in black ink of a slender child seated on a crude step. Behind him, to the left, are grasses blowing in the wind. In the background is a stone wall.

The child has tucked one hand beneath his chin, while his other rests on his knee. He regards the viewer with dark eyes as his pale hair is blown back by the breeze.

To his right, the words "the child who called down the wind" are printed in handwritten text.

A monochromatic pen drawing in black ballpoint pen ink of a child standing in the grass. Birds are perched on his head and shoulders, standing in the grass at his feet, and flying behind him. 

The boy is wearing a pale headscarf, white clothes, and large boots. He is smiling cheerfully, holding up one arm so the birds can better perch in him.

To the right of him, handwritten text reads: "the boy who spoke to birds".
