they should make a movie series about how it’s irresponsible to use technology to mess with the natural order of things for profit
a digital painting of a gyrfalcon. he is sitting on a dead knob of a treebranch. The background is vague shapes of teal. the bird is positioned such that his back is to the viewer, and his pattern of dark feathers with white outlines can be clearly seen. his head is in profile, looking back over his shoulder, displaying a hooked beak and piercing eye.
This month's #BirdWhisperer is a Gyrfalcon! I spent way too long on this but I love how it turned out, haha

Watercolour painting of three Goldcrests amongst ivy
Occasionally we get tiny Goldcrests in the garden, hunting for insects amongst the evergreens. They’re resident in Britain, but some Goldcrests cross the North Sea to escape the harsher continental winters; people used to believe they rode on the backs of migrating Woodcocks. (watercolour)

Still painting this Port Townsend lighthouse
I also had a lot of fun using some granulating watercolours for the first time: schminke's tundra violet, Holbein's rainy night moon black and Eurasian jay rose grey.

My gyrfalcon for January's #BirdWhisperer. Those feathers were a challenge! I started thinking of them as more like a mosaic than anything. #painting #art #bird
Your regular reminder that generative AI is a tool of fascism.

My first painting of the new year ✨ I washed over some of the feathers with Wearingeul's 'The Raven" but I think the paper ate the glitter #art #watercolor #painting

so many of the small indignities of daily life come from us being denied the ability to tell a rich man in a tech company to fuck off. minesweeper has microtransactions. paid services have ads. the opt out says maybe later. the drive thru is a broken chatbot. your car is an ipad. fuck off! fuck off!
An aquarium with two long pieces of wood as the centerpiece, flanked by green aquatic plants. The substrate is black sand.
I finally have an aquarium again! It's only 19l so I'm thinking of just stocking with some neocaridina. I ordered the wood online so it was a gamble, but they picked some really nice pieces. The bottom one looks like a sleeping dragon imo :) #aquarium #fishtank

A sketchbook page depicting three head portraits of birds drawn in pen and ink, surrounded by star doodles. The birds depicted are a kestrel, a sleeping barn owl and a heron. There is also a small drawing of the moon in the same style, as well as a doodle of a vase with tulips drawn in white ink on a black background.

There are red, cream and black frames painted around the animal.

Digital painting of a vibrant orange goldfish, facing to the left with a dark blue background and a red border. A star is reflected in its eye.
So much stress has been happening recently that this is the first thing I've drawn in a couple of months. This was supposed to be more in my head, but I'm happy with him as he is.
