While testing my new signature lithograph to make sure it works with watercolor, I discovered that it makes a nice tattoo. #lithography #lithograph #watercolor #watercolour #tattoo #tyto #ashyfacedowl #tytoglaucops

Tattoo like watercolor lithograph print on my wrist. It's an outline of an ashy faced owl flying. Beneath on my wrist is an owl chain bracelet.

When we found the pitcher plants and sundew at the Orono Bog Boardwalk, I may or may not have went a little crazy and tried to photograph all of them. #dslr #nikon #flowers #floral #flowerphotography #purplepitcherplant #roundleavedsundew #spoonleafsundew #oronobogboardwalk #maine

Purple pitcher plant. The pitchers are purple, cylindrical, and have openings at the top. It has a tall purple stem with a red and yellow 5 petal flower at the top. The center of the flower protrudes out and is circular.

Spoonleaf sundew. They are purple with teardrop shaped leaves and long stems. The leaves are covered in sticky protrusions.

Round leaved sundew. They are purple with roundish shaped leaves and short to medium stems. The leaves are covered in sticky protrusions.

For awhile I've been keeping a wishlist of species on my laptop in a series of folders and Word docs sorted by Class and Family. Recently I decided to create a list on iNat, which I just finished importing: www.inaturalist.org/lists/460513....

What's everyone's thoughts on INPRNT? I'm considering making a shop, but I'm worried about the quality, it being a hassle to deal with (especially international shipping), and pricing (for me and buyers). And if not INPRNT, any other recommendations? I currently can't make my own prints, etc.

The Guardians of Ga'Hoole series. I've liked owls since I was a baby, but that series really sparked my obsession with them (although it died down temporarily in high school).

After a lot of thinking, I've decided to close my SmugMug account by the 2nd week of August. I've barely sold anything and it just costs too much money to keep open. Maybe sometime in the future I'll try selling my photographs again.

I Want Waffle Fries!! After I watched @cornellbirdcams.bsky.social video of Iris being upset about the fledgling starling's presence I just had to draw this. #drawing #pencildrawing #pencil #coloredpencil #coloredpencilart #coloreddrawing #ink #inkdrawing #illustration #comic #birdart #birds
