That moment when you go from seeing vague broad shapes to realizing there's more detail 😲

Gingerbread by Helen Oyeyemi. Centered around a recipe that is a family legacy and an Odyssey from a mythical land to London. And I realize that description does not do it justice. Definitely going to have to do a reread, but it’s fabulous. #booksky

Happy Autumn! For the season, here's a past Autumn landscape of mine called 'Autumnal Auras'. Colourful trees and mist lying low on the moorland edge πŸ‚ I would have done it a bit differently now (should I do another??) but it's still an aerial embroidery I'm very proud of!

A four panel comic called Happy Halloween From The Birds. In panel 1, a pileated woodpecker has pecked its huge gaping rectangular holes in a pumpkin. In panel 2, a yellow-bellied sapsucker has pecked a face using its standard rows of small holes. In panel 3, a satin bowerbird has carved a pumpkin into a bower and placed its favorite blue candies all around it. In panel 4, a loggerhead shrike has impaled mini pumpkins on a fence's metal spikes and is saying "fight me."

Spooky season approaches, so I'm going to repost some of my Halloween comics from years past.

Here's my book cover redesign for Crossings again. Originally, I didn't want to overdo it, but the design did need something more. So I did thin ripple lines, and I'm happier with it having more water flow! :)

Do you know which genres work for what you can do? I started making book cover redesigns this year for some of my favorite reads.

Here's my drawing of the European Green Woodpecker! I used pencil, watercolor brush pens, color pencils, and gel pen.

I wanted to get a video of this ghost crab but every time I got close to their hole they scuttled back in, so I tried getting clever with it. I made a little sandcastle and shoved my phone into it, hit record, and walked away. Crab was VERY suspicious of this addition to their environment.
