15 days in of October Bats brings us Noack’s Roundleaf Bat! This squashy McSquashiface uses magical echolocation to pick up the fluttering wing motion of moths-whether flying or perched. You hear that?! Caves and crevices in the wet lowland in Central Africa is this snuggglebugs’ ’hood. #art #bats

I have decided to do a drawing a day of a different bat species the entire month. First off we have the Tri-colored Big-eared Bat. Hailing from Mexico, Central and South America. Loves insects but sometimes fruit. Prefers a cozy day in caves and hollow trees. Spooky forest is preferred. #bats #art

My son and I are in the pool and I told him to beware of pool sharks. They will hunt you down and take huge bite out of your wallet. I’ll see myself out… (Tiger shark paintings in progress) #art #artyear #shark #beachvibes #ocean

Bold, kinetic, and luminous—Wing Rhythm captures a barn owl mid-flight, rendered in thick, expressive brushstrokes, and radiant neon accents. The owl’s wings stretch through textured fields of deep black, creating a sense of motion frozen in time. 4/9 #art #blueskyartshow #artyear #owl #animalart

Abstract painting of a barn owl in flight against a dark background, with vivid neon outlines and thick, expressive brushstrokes in purples, oranges, and greens. Artwork by Will Eskridge, titled “Wing Rhythm.”

Rhythm is Everywhere. Night flight, electric quiet. This glowing barn owl emerged from a place between boldness and mystery—painted in thick strokes, wild color, and intuition. “Wing Rhythm (1)” 24x24” acrylic on canvas, 2025. #wildlifeart #contemporarypainting #owlart #neonnature #green #ArtYear

An expressive, colorful painting of a white barn owl in flight against a dark, textured night sky. The owl is outlined with glowing neon greens and vibrant purples, with bold strokes of orange, magenta, and turquoise along its wings and body. Below, rough, abstract layers of blue and lavender suggest distant terrain or clouds. The artist’s name, “WILL,” is signed in the bottom right.

Humans aren't unique in having complex cultures. New research shows animals like whales and pigeons can learn and improve behaviors over generations. An anthropologist suggests what sets us apart may be our "open-ended" cultural diversity. buff.ly/RMvDCSf Eli Elster, UC Davis #psychology

Illumination In All Directions is available! It is a series of thirteen (13) individual paintings that make up a unique looping animation. A celebration of late night dance parties for ALL. #art #painting #discoball #deia #dei #allthecolors #colors #popart #dance #artyear

Colorful animated painting by Will Eskridge of rotating disco ball. A disco ball is a perfect metaphor for diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA)—it shines only when every mirrored piece plays its part, reflecting light in all directions and ensuring no one is left in the dark.
   •   Diversity: Each mirrored tile represents a unique individual, bringing their own background, perspective, and experiences. Alone, they are fragments, but together, they create something brilliant.
   •   Equity: Just as the mirrors are carefully positioned to reflect light evenly, equity ensures that opportunities and resources are distributed fairly so everyone has a chance to shine.
   •   Inclusion: A disco ball doesn’t just light up one spot—it spreads light everywhere, ensuring that everyone is welcomed, valued, and able to join the dance.
   •   Accessibility: The disco ball’s light reaches all corners of the space, making sure no one is left out due to barriers. True accessibility means designing systems, spaces, and opportunities so that everyone—regardless of ability—can participate fully.

When DEIA comes together, it transforms the world—just like a disco ball turning an ordinary room into a radiant, inclusive celebration of light, movement, and connection.
