Nice capture on the flower.

The book is a short piece encouraging kids and adults to take a closer look at the world around them. I wrote this because there aren't any kids books about slime mold.
Hear me read the book to you on YouTubes: youtube.com/shorts/xlp5I...

It's the pigeon of the lichen world, if you will.

Just your friendly neighborhood Common Greenshield Lichen, Flavoparmelia caperata. Unlike some lichen, these are fairly pollution-resistant and can be found in all but the dirtiest of places. #lichen #art #commongreenshieldlichen #flavoparmeliacaperata

Did you know lichen can live in the desert? The Namib desert even has an endemic species, the Namib Sun Lichen, Stellarangia namibensis

Thanks for the idea! ☺️ He'll be hopping around all the pages of the lichen book.

British Soldier Lichen

Yet another exciting instance of painting a lichen one week, then spotting it in the wild the next! This one was growing on the shingles of a decorative archway, so getting a picture was hard and really awkward because people were about and wondered why a rando was climbing on the ledge.

After a short break, I am back on the lichen line. This is a local fav, the Fairy Puke Lichen, Lcmadophila ericetorum. No cap, that's what it is called. Lichen have some of the best names!

How are they SO DELIGHTFUL??

Coral lichen and Lungwort lichen illustrations in progress.

Barred Owls have started frequenting my yard, which is great until they start going WOOOOOO! at 3 AM like a frat bro who just hit the peak of his night. I go into get-off-my-lawn mode until realizing it’s just an owl living its best life and everything is ok. Party on, dudes. #barredowl
