Finally!

My neighborhood Ocelot is a sneaky one and I haven't been able to get a photo of it until tonight. At @casabentbill.bsky.social

Completely agree with Sophie on this subject! AI right now is art theft no matter how you dress it up. It’s also unethical, in my opinion that is

Incredible image, Glen!

Absolutely love this! The level of detail in this piece is incredible. Really great work, Amanda 👏

#BirdoftheDay is #birdonawire x2

This male and female Black-headed Trogon were taking a break from digging out their nest cavity and posed for me.

Black-and-yellow bird with a blue eye ring perched on a strand of barbed wire against a soft green background.

I'm not sure if I'm legally allowed to post two #birdoftheday posts for #birdonawire

But here's a closer view of the male Black-headed Trogon, showing his darker head and iridescent back.

Beautiful 😍. I am guessing this is either a male and female or female with a infant 🧐

Definitely the cutest thing I’ve seen all week 😍. I love seeing the new cygnets in Spring and Summer, as they bring so much joy to people’s hearts 🥰

Soft pastel artwork picturing two baby swans with cream colored down and dark gray beaks. The birds are facing each other with one higher on a background of purple and rust.

#BlueSkyArtShow This sweet, #small cygnet portrait was created in soft pastel. I did this piece featuring fluffy baby swans for use in Easter card designs. Prints & cards with my art may be found at the links in my profile. #art #birds

Great work here, Richard! 👏 The amber eyes make this fox look mystical.

I always love seeing your work and look forward to seeing your next piece 👍.

Once again thank you for sharing your art with us, Richard 👍 😍

Absolutely amazing work! The amber eyes make this fox look mystical.

Definitely check out Richard’s profile for more great animal art 👍

This digital painting is set on a rocky ocean shore. The sky is dark and stormy. The environment is very cool and blue. A girl with black and white hair, wearing a spotted dark-purple cloak, is summoning sparkling, ghostly whales and sea creatures from the ocean. She stands on a rock, lit by the yellow sparkling creatures above.

There probably are cures for our conditions, but, as we are all too aware, treating a condition is far more lucrative than curing it.

Makes me angry that pharmaceutical companies could develop more cures but won’t because the affect it’d have on their profits.

Even though I can’t help you with your struggle, I wish you the absolute best of luck with your health and getting your studio sorted 🙏 🍀

I’m going through treatment for an incurable illness at the moment so I can relate to people having health issues 👍

Close-up of a brown bird with intricately patterned feathers and vivid blue skin around its eye, set against a soft green forest background.

Ocellated Antbirds are one of the shyest Costa Rican antbirds and they very seldom get close. But there were a few family groups this morning with a bunch of hungry young birds and the adults were busy showing them how to hunt for insects flushed by the army ants.

These little birds look extraordinary, in a good way that is. The blue ring around their eyes really draws one’s attention.

I’ve learnt so much about South American wildlife since following your account, Mike. Thanks again for sharing your adventures with us 👍

To all of my BlueSky friends,

I don't really pitch or sell things on this platform, but I want to share this fundraiser.

I've spent some time in the Wayuu community and the people there are lovely and warm. But the children are at a severe disadvantage.

Omg she is so beautiful! 😻

My little cat, Marmalade, looks pretty similar in markings

Another pic of the Ginger Bandit in his natural habitat 🐈. In all honesty I could forgive this little rascal anything 🥰.

Have a great evening everyone and stay safe out there 🙏

Another typical pose for my cat: sitting in my mum’s lap 🐈 😻

Oh my word, he/she looks so beautiful! 😍 Thanks so much for sharing this with us, Mike 👍🥰

Colorful keel-billed toucan perched among green leaves in a rainforest.

Mixed media art consisting of ink-on-paper drawings and digital art drawn in MS Paint, all enclosed within a large circle. The digital drawing is of several circles, lines, and dots, representing the Circular Gallifreyan writing from Doctor Who. Translated, it reads "@dirxzilla.bsky.social", and is digitally signed with the same handle in plain text. The colours are in dull peacock blues, with bright teal-green lines arranged in radiating fans. Several cutouts around the edges of this the circular writing reveal various drawings in black ink on paper. They include a moth, a gryphon, a northern flicker, as well as a small peacock that is also used as my BSKY profile picture, and a written signature of "DIRX".

Colour pencil drawing of a rainbow-coloured Barioth from the Monster Hunter series. It is bipedal, like a T. rex with armored plating along its back and tail, and a large hammer-like crest on its head. It's drawn in a more cartoony style than most of my realistic work, and has a silly toothy grin. The colours of the crest and armor plates are the colours of the Progress Pride flag, with the blue/white/pink of the trans pride colours bookending on the crest and tail tip. Signed "Dirx" and dated 6/1/21.

Black ink drawing of a mountainscape, specifically Mount Chiquita, Ypsilon Mountain, and Fairchild Mountain, of Rocky Mountain National Park. Stark shadows and lighter hatching indicate the jagged, craggy nature of these mountains, and the foreground is filled with more rounded and densely wooded hills, shaded with more stippling than I would like to remember. Signed "DIRX" and dated 2/9/25.

Hello! My name is Dirx and while I don't post new art very often, I do enjoy #drawing, mostly #birds, #fanart, and #Gallifreyan.

The first of the a-z monster list!!

The mighty Aarakocra, on the wing. This particular one is based on a Philippine eagle. This was a lot of work and a lot of studying, but I'm so happy with how it turned out. Soooo many feathers, but totally worth all the effort <3

The left side is a detailed painting of brown undergrowth filled with dry leaves, twigs and bugs. Orange mushrooms and small green leaves burst through while two small green characters with leaves on their heads hold hands. The right side is white with text that reads: illustrator-author/ANNA DAVISCOURT/annadaviscourt@gmail.com/annadaviscourt.com Made with acrylic gouache and colored pencils on Bristol paper.

Happy #KidLitArtPostcard day!
I'm Anna, an author/illustrator from the PNW. I'm a fan of patterns, nature and loveable characters-all culminating in this ode to the undergrowth!
