Oceans!

A bird feeder with the base empty for the first time!

Little victories in our daily life that bring joy can be the most powerful form of resistance

Three full body pencil sketches, two of jeans with flowers on them and one of a dress with a dress and leggings. Around the dress sketch are detail shots of the earrings

Three doodles of different outfits and one doodle expressing wonder at actually getting a work badge. One outfit is a dress and the other is a skirt

Two doodles of w skirt with flowers and a dark sweater. One full body and one 3/4

Some outfit sketches now that I have to get dressed and go outside to work

Today is a good day to check your documents, find those papers of importance, check your emergency contact lists. Check your go bags and emergency supplies. All the things that one should have and should know where they are at all times. ❤️🤍

SHARE WIDELY.
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.

With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.

You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one.

Self-care is resistance.

I love when woodworkers show up in my feeds but I especially love Justinthetrees as he works his way around the US via wood and begins his journey into tree ice creams. Such a fun way to make his content innovative and interesting!

A somewhat dirty polar bear lies contentedly on its back in a bed of reddish kelp surrounded by snow. It looks like a person sleeping in a recliner.

A somewhat dirty polar bear lies contentedly on its back in a bed of reddish kelp surrounded by snow. It looks like a person sleeping in a recliner that is titled all the way back. The bear is pretty much smiling.

Of all the polar bears I saw this fall, this one is probably my favourite. Kelp Bear living its best life. 🐻‍❄️🦊🌿

A book called The Birding Dictionary: A tongue-in-cheek guide for people who find themselves obsessed, against all logic and reason, with birds.

And I've got a new book of bird humor coming out next year. You know you have a good editor when they ask for cover art so you draw a vermilion flycatcher pooping on some binoculars and they say "perfect"

Tired and sick this season but my lil guys got my back.

2 page spread with watercolor and ink sketches interspersed with handwritten notes. Left page- multi-branched stalk of yellow daisy-like cup plant flowers with a black and yellow carrion beetle below it and a black patterned grasshopper on the other side. A shorter cream gentian flower stalk is to the right and overlaps into the next page. Notes-Schulenberg prairie, Aug 10, 2021, cloudy and humid- hot! 84- feels like 97, 1 hr 40 min later-90- feels like 104 degrees. B.impatiens were main pollinators today. Never seen pine-tree spur-throat grasshopper before! Saw cream gentian 8/10, drew 8/17 Right page-sketched multi-branched stalk of prairie dock with its ball-like buds and yellow flowers. A closer version of cream gentian with a bumblebee pushing inside is under the prairie dock. To the right are 2 sketches of a Ripiphorus beetle from the top and side. Notes- Aug 13, 2021, Springbrook Prairie, 78 degrees sun with clouds, Beautiful day! Saw lots of bees on monarda, ambush bug, goldfinches and sparrows on cup plant. Hummingbird, soldier beetles and bumblebees feeding on prairie dock. Aug 17, 2021, Schulenberg Prairie, 82 degrees, partly cloudy and humid, B.auricomus busy pollinating gentians- can muscle its way inside closed ones. B.impatiens also! Notes by beetle- wedge-shaped beetle mimics wasp, female lays eggs on buds, larvae parasitize ground bees, male lives one day, female has a short life. I saw the female and painted from my photos.

Day 19 #ArtAdventCalendar -spread from my Illinois prairie nature journal, covering August 10-17, 2021.

Silphiums like cupplant and prairie dock tower above the prairie in August attracting pollinators and birds alike to their bounty. And gentians with bumblebees are fun to watch.

Good luck! I hate getting MRI’s, the machine is so loud 😣

I think a sparrow or a finch but I’m not totally sure, it was super fast

Saw my first bird at my feeder today! I know I’ve had at least one visitor in the past month but this is the first one I’ve gotten to see! Truly magical!!

In that weird stage of sick where I know I’m going to be snotty but at the moment its just a sore throat. The worst!!!

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 14: “Freddie Chirpury” the song sparrow (get it?). Freddie ruled our backyard for at least 4 yrs. He lives a hard life & keeps on singing.
Cut on #scrollsaw: walnut, maple, tree of heaven, wenge, sapele, black locust, holly, ebony & cherry.

It ended up amazing!

Is anyone else really considering reading all the books listed in Dr. Ally Louks olfactory ethics thesis so when it’s published they can fully engage with it? No..? Just me?

He just wants to hang out with you! Milky does the same lmao, we have reached an understanding when I’m gaming but its hopeless when I try to draw, he takes up too much space

Sometimes you find out someone is having a baby and you just know the world is gonna get a little better and be a brighter place

My dad’s hobbies are like. Going golfing. He does not actually like golfing.

Theres a bit of a social pressure for men to engage in sporting hobbies rather than engaging im creative spaces

The woman who has turned me away from getting a drug test twice: have you been here before? You look familiar

Me, smiling through the pain as she hands me the pee cup FINALLY: not this far back!
