A digital illustration in a bestiary inspired style featuring a medieval style dragon with feathery wings and a lion-like head, wirh a severed arm in its mouth. The dragon is mostly blue, with green spots and legs, green and orange feathers in its wings, and an orange head. The severed arm is wearing a modern shirt and jacket sleeve and the hand is giving a thumbs up. The background is dark blue with sparkle-stars and a moon, and there's a picture-frame-like border with flame details and a label reading: eat the corporate leeches.
One of the stamp rallies I'm joining for MCM is the Medieval rally!
Here's the postcard print I'm contributing to the prize pack! 😁💕

Names changed/removed. But get ready for a lost kitty story with a happy ending.
It starts late last year, when the elderly neighbour of a young couple went into a care home /1
A mock up of 5 different wooden pin designs featuring illustrations by Loadofolbobbins showing Fred the pigeon cosplaying as festive themed items. From left to right a pigeon in a snowglobe, a pigeon wrapped up in wrapping paper and ribbon with beak and feet peaking out, a gingerbread house with a pigeon's head peeping out the top and nibbling on it, a pigeon dressed as a decorated Christmas tree and a pigeon holding a paintbrush in it's mouth dripping with red paint and red paint on it's chest to look like a robin.
Ok my pigeon loving people 🐦❤️ the festive Fred the pigeon suggestion box is open... I'm looking for fun ideas for designs to add as stretch goals to my upcoming wooden pin crowdfunder...

Never underestimate the power of silly! Which is why Fred the pigeon fully embraces the art of coosplay... follow my upcoming wooden pin crowdfunder for a bit of festive flair!

Three drawings of arthropod animals in squared formats. The first is a gold and brown jellyfish, the second a red and blue leafhopper, and the third a cluster of green sea anemones in various states of retraction.
Took me a hot minute but I'm finally back in the game 🥓 #Invertober

I am seeing a lot of people reposting Lakota Man today bc it's Indigenous Peoples Day. A reminder that he is not well liked amongst many (most?) Natives on social media. Many of us blocked him a long time ago. Some of the reasons why are in this article.

Black ink drawing of a cute gyrfalcon portrait.
The Gyrfalcon frustrates me so much 🦅! I’ve spent months in the Arctic ❄️, and I still DREAM of seeing one 👀.
Drawing it without having seen it feels almost like tempting fate 😬
