A Taiwanese golden bat with Youtiao - a fried dough stick known by many other names. This species and treat was requested by some lovely Taiwanese bat researchers I met at IBRC, at least one of whom has been a fatbatweek fan for several years ❤️

#fatbatweek starts tonight! Stay tuned and can anyone guess the species that is first up?

I got the paper for my certificates of authenticity today :D

I can confirm this is also me :) and not a problem to be stabbed with all the 4H pencils in my studio.

Entirely self indulgent comfort art.

💛🧡❤️
Knowing that these give people a little lift is one of the reasons I keep creating them.

Thankyou for the heads up. I have been diplomatically scathing and included the comment that this survey is a flag to start looking for new platforms that put more value on the humans creating.

Sketched as if the bats are three scoop of ice cream in a waffle come, in a digital colour pencil style

#fatbatfriday with three sweet scoops of microbats - aiming for that Neapolitan look with a Honduran white, Chocolate wattled, & Eastern red bat in a waffle cone (stacked by average max weights).
If you need the reminder: have a drink of water, have a snack, and take a long, slow & deep breath in.

I think in the context you spelt it right the first time 😆

Tarot decks are massive massive projects with so much meta in every card potentially. I think it is more feasable to have six or more artist dividing the work load rather than one person - it'd be a multiyear job for sure.

"The Devils get into the Details" seems like an apt title for a paper involving working around field work interuptions.

#ibrc2025 - is just over but the inspirations are going to fuel me for years to come.
It's not #fatbatweek YET but @batgirlsusan.bsky.social, @nzbatman.bsky.social, @irorotanshi.bsky.social and the numerous other wonderful bat researchers I got to meet in person this past week: this is for you!

I wonder what it's pollinators are!

I believe on, returning to scour the poster, the art is by Meagan Underdown lead author of the poster.

And poster makers - shake your artists down for where people can follow them to include in the credits.

I will have no voice tomorrow, and will have to order more biz cards, bu what a wonderful, passionate, uplifting spiral of encounters with people who care dearly, give generously, and burn with benevolent curiosity!

This is such a lovely and engaging graphic about bio acoustic niche separation and the critically endangered Southern Bent-wing bat.
#scicom artists please make your signatures such that we can readily look you up!!

What is working on spec? | No!Spec

Having read the submission form I am concerned about the current spec work vibe of the competition. Logos are the silent ambassador of any brand and the amount of work that goes into a good one is significant.
I plan to reach out to the organisers about this.

By the end of this week everyone who know me will know how HERE I AM for 2027. Its two and a bit fatbatweeks away.

Such ears!

Creatives: get your wings warmed up and give yourself a one year Project to unveil in December 2026 to spruik and sing about through 2027!
