Illustration of an ‘Apapane sitting on a twig with leaves floating around it, set against a pink background

‘Apapane #avianaugust

An illustration of a Hawaiʻi ʻakepa perched on the end of a branch surrounded by leaves. The bird is rendered in bright oranges and yellows, with brown wings and feet, and a light yellow beak. The bird is shown in profile, fluffed up and pointing out. The foliage is shown in light pencil lines and is not rendered. In the bottom right corner, "Hawai'i akepa" is written, and a small yellow and orange paint stroke are shown as a graphic.

③ Hawai'i 'akepa - a small, endangered honeycreeper native to Hawai'i. They live high in the trees, and have been driven to elevations 5000'+ to escape mosquitos that carry deadly diseases like avian malaria. Habitat loss also threatens this bird. A rare sight irl!

An illustration of a Laysan Albatross skull surrounded by small pieces of ocean plastic, including bottle caps, lighters, pens, a printer cartridge, toys, and a toothbrush. The skull is in the center, and the plastics are arranged neatly above and below, appearing in bright colors - pinks, blues, greens. The background is off-white, with a light lilac circle behind and framing the skull and objects.

② Laysan Albatross – a near-threatened seabird that searches for food across the ocean. Due to pollution, they often mistake floating plastic for prey. This has had a devastating impact, especially at Pihemanu, which hosts over 70% of the global population.

A drawing of my original character Hudson, a humanoid bonnet macaque. He’s sitting with his knees pulled close to his chest and his arms in front of him while he writes on a legal paper pad. As usual a cigarette hands unlit from his mouth.

I always draw him looking annoyed or angry, so this time I didn’t.

The foundation of this piece is an original painting, now in the public domain, titled Lake in a Park (1894) by Władyslaw Podkowiński, a Polish impressionist painter. 💫

Four Pokemon, Poliwag, Poliwhirl, Psyduck and Pichu, are illustrated into an original painting titled Lake in a Park (1894) by Władyslaw Podkowiński, a Polish impressionist painter. The additions are painted in a similar style and color palette to make it appear as it was always so. Pichu is in a small row boat, hitting a beach ball to Poliwhirl and Poliwag, who are in the water nearby, all looking delighted. Psyduck floats in the air above, suspended by three colorful balloons, with tears in his eyes.

A study of an Eurasian nuthatch; the same pose is shown twice, once as a basic graphite drawing, and another rendered in color in a watercolor style. The pose is a 3/4 view with the body angled down and the head angled up. The rendered version shows the blue wing feathers and crown, dark stripe across the eye, and cream-colored feathers underneath. In the bottom right corner, the piece reads “Eurasian nuthatch;” in the top left corner, “60 min.”

The bird has a saturated, golden yellow throat, a black mask, white supercilium, olive-brown feathers and tail, and pale yellow belly. Its legs and beak are defined.

IT'S JUNETEENTH! There is still so much fucking work to do in this country to clean up the blood it was built on and so many reparations owed.

One of the small ways we can help is actively seeking out, hiring, supporting and buying from Black artists.

Words by Menna Agha: Indigeneity is not simply a native status or an inherent identity: it is a relationship. It is something that must be continuously maintained, nurtured, and repaired when severed. By choosing to sever these ancestral relationships through modernity and organized religion, people lost their Indigeneity. Our project of Indigeneity refuses to lose these relationalities weaved over millennia by our ancestors, despite projects of epistemicide.

"Historically, Nubian land was one continuous territory along the river. The borders that now divide us were imposed by colonizers, splitting Nubian land between Egypt and Sudan. This is a pattern seen across the world: Indigenous peoples divided by artificial borders."

A rendered illustration of a splendid fairywren, puffed out and electric blue, crouching slightly on a stick-perch and pointing its body to the left. Its tail sticks up and out, similar to a wren, but it is not technically a wren. Behind the bird are two light blue, to frame the bird. The bottom left corner has text that reads “Splendid fairywren.”

An illustration of the birds of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, arranged around the Sheikah eye, which is rendered in a dark blue-grey. The birds are roughly sketched; the ones at the bottom of the composition are on the ground or wading, and the ones above are in flight in various dynamic poses. There are 16 birds in total, varying in sizes, the smallest being the sparrows and the largest being the herons. Next to each bird is its color palette, which is also shown in full at the bottom of the piece. One sparrow is rendered.
