Appreciated! Thank you.

Thanks so much. I am trying to capture a lot more movement in my recent work, so I am glad that some of it is coming across!

Very much an experimental vulture! So many different things being tested on this poor dude.
...am either riddled with allergies at the moment, or I might actually be having issues with charcoal and pastels.... watch this space :(

Thank you so much, glad you like!

Yes! If there was ever a bird that is going to turn around and take over the world, it's probably a heron!

Thank youuu! I love that there are peeps that love the original ponies!

Charcoal heron. A favourite birb! I miss seeing these guys around.

Heron study underway - a favourite bird! There are very much still dinosaurs walking around out there...

Oh he is GORGEOUS!

That's cool, thank you!

Trying out charcoal on Fabriano paper, with a rather strange cormorant....

I will always root for the slightly weird, off kilter, the unusual or the chonk - and when I saw a Suffolk Punch horse I knew I would have to draw one immediately. As a unicorn, of course, because why not.

I love that though! One day I plan on putting a coop in the garden and see if I can get some regulars living in there.

You got it!!!! That's the one! :)

Sometimes you have to say goodbye. There was something bugging me about the angle of the unicorn horn... so time to start again. Second version was much more successful!

So very smol. It looks like you have a whole flock?! Colour me jealous! Although, our resident pair looks like they are back to make more babies as of this week! 😍

Thank you for the tag!

Still on this charcoal kick! Funny story - I have never ridden a horse. Yet I still love them. Closeted horse girl? I do like my horses chonky... This unicorn is based on quite a rare British breed - any guesses?

Thank you! It was fun to be freer and bolder with the texture - a constant battle between the want to be looser, and my desire to draw in every single hair in a very smooth way! :)

I love pigeons. Recently had a pair nest, rear and fledge two baby birbs on our balcony and wasn't that just the perfect tonic to the chaos of the universe. They are tiny and cute and love them.

The eternal inner struggle of trying to find the "perfect" medium. The only thing that isn't in question is what to draw - it's always going to be my greyhound. Testing charcoal, refining, learning, exploring and wondering why sighthounds have so many legs yet none of them fit right.
#greyhound

I can't help it, I love the potoo. All nightjars, really. Because how can this face actually exist in the real world? What did she see? What does she know? Or did someone just squeeze her with loves a little bit too hard?

Exploration is so joyous, so much fun as an artist. How easy was it for you to find your "one" or are you like me and flopping around in all of them? :D
Testing charcoal, to explore a more expressive and looser style.
He is a sulky looking boi.

My Space Potato attempting to look like a greyhound! Kinda failing at pretending to be a dog. Smiley face just because we all need an extra smile right now.

Who else is old enough to remember the OG My Little Ponies? Who else collected lots, only to rehome them as they entered adulthood? Who else really regretted that decision & collects them again as "grown ups"?
Because meeeee!

Spot the artist still exploring all the different mediums! I have an idea for a series of Very Strange Birds.... guess my favourite family of plants?!

My space potato being potato-y and space-y. Greyhounds are wonderful beings but certainly not of this earth or dimension. If you own a grey (or any sighthound!) how many legs does yours actually have in the real world and how many are stuck in other versions of reality?

#greyhound #spacepotato

I am still pretty certain that greyhounds are space potatoes with interdimensional legs. Mine certainly is. WIP on claybord.

It's Beasley, the antlered tapir!
Forgot I hadn't posted the final of her. So many tiny scratches!

I have become fairly convinced over time that greyhounds are alien unicorn space potatoes and not much will convince me otherwise.
