A white and black White-breasted Nuthatch poses on a small branch. It is bent forward with its head pointed down at the ground and its butt in the air facing towards the camera. Its eye is just visible below the branch, trademark nuthatch twinkle in its eye.

Peek-a-boo! This nuthatch is far more perky than I am on this post time-change Monday.

A comic titled "What is a City Pigeon? By Rosemary Mosco." There's a small pigeon shouting through a megaphone. Panel 1: A banner says "It's a Dinosaur. Like all birds, pigeons descended from dinos." A pigeon roars "coooo" over the silhouette of a dinosaur yelling RARR. Panel 2: The banner says "It's a Dove. A city pigeon or Rock Dove is a member of the pigeon and dove family." A pigeon stands in glorious rays of sparkling light, with a halo over its head. Panel 3: The banner says "It's a Domestic Animal. Pigeons were domesticated millennia ago for meat and fertilizer (poop)." A cow stands in a farmer's field, saying "moo." A pigeon looks up at it and says "coo." Both have just pooped. Panel 4: The banner says "It's a Purebred Pet. Like dogs & cats, pigeons come in fancy breeds." There are three fancy pigeons: A Birmingham Roller, with rusty feathers and splotches of white. A Fantail, with its head pushed back and a huge fanned out tail. A Saxon Fairy Swallow, with a crest and huge fan

Because folks liked my latest pigeon comic so much, here's another pigeon piece!

I made this a couple years ago for a sadly now defunct publication called Pipe Wrench. I hope this piece helps spread more pigeon love.

An allegory of the "Jaws" movie poster that caused damage and negative stereotypes to the image of sharks that persist to this day (I'm glad it's slowly changing, but it's still too slow to be considered forgivable). Now with a reversal of roles, with the human victim replaced by a simple wild shark and the terrible stereotyped shark replaced by a monstrous human skull seeming to want to devour the shark (this is the reality, we kill thousands of sharks every year, many of them killed for irrational reasons, who is the real cruel killer?)

This is a tribute to Peter Benchley, author of 'Jaws', who dedicated his life to reversing the unexpected negative impact his book had on the image of sharks.

We kill millions of sharks annually and demonize them in our media, who is the real monster? 💀

A Sandhill Crane with a long, narrow leaf in its beak. The leaf is covered in mud and the crane is using the leaf to smear mud on its feathers.

A favorite from this past spring: a Sandhill Crane uses a leaf to apply mud to its feathers, thought to be for camouflage purposes while nesting. #birds 🪶

Finn has found a perfectly sized box for him

Eric Carle vibes!!

am working on sticker design that features 12 dogs, and am being way too detailed for the scale 😬 why am I not stopping

a brown and white bird with long yellow legs with knobby knees and two stripes (white and dark brown) on its head

I love extremely specific/descriptive bird names. Meet the double-striped thick-knee, a "large and bizarre shorebird" that does indeed have two stripes on its head and thick knees: ebird.org/species/dstkne 🪶

Don’t ask me to draw a merle dog for awhile after this guy

Bioluminescent waves break above a dark sky and dark waves

Bioluminescence out in full force north of the Huntington Beach Pier tonight.

Three deer snacking on some leaves at the edge of a yard

Happy Sat-deer-day!

Please take it from someone who has had complications from COVID for over a year now and lost their dream job, and ability to function at any workplace: TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF IF YOU GET COVID. Rest. Stay home. Do whatever you can to lower the risk of this being your life.

Wip of not a samoyed but looking suspiciously like one at this stage

If I could stop having nightmares about crashing to my death on a plane that would be pretty cool. Esp when they’re so frequent that in my dream I tell everyone “I’ve been having a lot of nightmares about planes” 🫠

Great horned owl on branch with one paw up

This is my neighborhood great horned owl, McHoots. He says hi Blue Sky! 🪶

An illustration of a round circular sticker design, featuring various North American native insects which help pollinate native flowers. They include: a white-lined Sphinx moth, a monarch butterfly, two Icaricia butterflies, two hover flies, and two squash bees. A pair of golden poppies frames the illustration, while curved black text on the top half and bottom reads: “Support Native Pollinators”

Support Native Pollinators! 🐛🌼
