It’s always a real treat to loose myself in a larger illustration, and this character owl for my lovely friend @emlusby.bsky.social was an absolute delight to work on. #birdart

‘Tis now the season. 🍁🍂 and the perfect time to list this original Redwing drawing on this antique map of the Yorkshire Coast. #birds #birdart #birdmigration

Love your Rat @jennywrendraws.bsky.social

Aha!! He’s bearing up well! Thanks for visiting him! 😊

Thanks Phil. 😊

Ahh..the Yorkshire coast in autumn.

Last year I was lucky enough to see spectacular numbers of winter thrushes spiraling down out of the clouds @spurnbirdobs.bsky.social. I’m so grateful for these little mental treasures that I keep safe and unwrap when I need them most! #birds

Theres a reshuffle going down in the studio this morning. The Beaglebum is being decidedly unhelpful. Surely it’s time for her annual review? Her self motivation needs some work that’s for sure, and her health and safety training might need an update!

There is also a back catalogue of original pen illustrations now available in ye olde webbe shoppe. Multitudinous birds and beasties. Many with added nonsense. Made myself feel sick thinking of how many hours work there is in this little lot. Swing by and check them out ⬇️

I’ve added a few more pieces to the website this week including map drawings and original illustrations. Go take a peepers if you’ve a moment to spare. ⬇️ #birds #birdart #shetland

Time out from bird surveys here in Cumbria to breakfast with the local Red Squirrels...

Patiently waiting for cooler weather to get the Etching press out again….its been far far too long. Pens are great but sometimes I need to wield a pointy stick and a scalpel!! #birds #birdart #barnowl #drypoint

Attention all my bird-loving friends, I have good news - here's your new favourite book!

Thanks Henri. The noggin has its uses.

Love it!! 👌🏻

There aren’t many issues in my overactive noggin that can’t be fixed by a bit of yorkshire coast air and the sound of kittiwakes, and because I couldn’t get there in person today, this seemed like a good backup plan. I wonder if you can buy guano scented feed diffusers to complete the illusion..?

Busy working away on some vintage map drawings over summer for a webshop update in autumn. This ones a biggie…but here’s a wee detail from a quiet corner. #birds

Little owl staring down the week @northcavewet.bsky.social this morning. Cuckoo, Bittern, Hobby, Marsh Harriers, Grasshopper warbler and a whole host of others. Fabulous visit.

Last commission for a wee while, and this was an absolute gift to work on. Such a beautiful old map found by the clients. Happy faces all round on collection day. Now to put pens down and my hands on ice for a day or two.

Excellent guiding for @yorkscoastnature.bsky.social in Wykeham today with lovely clients @jennywrendraws.bsky.social Turtle doves and honey buzzards stole the show 🤩 @nybirdnews.bsky.social @northyorksbirds.bsky.social

They were indeed stunning Suzanne! Sorry…I didn’t realise that was you. 😊

A story of brave and adventurous Swallows on migration. Penned with gentle warmth, humour and a clear love and deep understanding of wildlife. It seemed only natural that the map drawing should be of Swallows swooping and diving over one of his favourite places on the North Yorkshire coast.

Peter had an amazing career as a broadcaster on tv and radio and was a very well respected playwright, as well as being a much loved father.

He also wrote and published this beautifuly written little book, “Creakwing’s Crossing”.

It has been an absolute privilege to work on this very special map drawing for a lovely family, to celebrate the life of their late father/father-in-law Peter Harrison. ⬇️

Sand Martins peppering the precious Northumbrian dunes with their frantic activity last week. On every beach walk, their chattering was a constant pleasure. #birds!

Back to birds…and a 3 tern lineup at @rspb.bsky.social Coquet Island on Tuesday. Those Roseate Terns really glow!! #birds!

I keep Bluesky for my bird stuff, but if any of you lovely folk live in E. Yorks or Hull…my illustration work has taken an unexpected turn with this 6ft tall rat sculpture for the Mischief Of Rats trail which launched on Saturday. “Rats Ahoy” Is situated on Nelson street. Check out the website!
