Thank you so much for your very kind words. For now just the white on black design, to manage our budget but I will share any future designs that are more colourful ♥️

It is our lovely pup’s 6th birthday today. Dogs are beings of all the feelings and sometimes all the love and happiness overwhelms Cookie, but she is such a good girl. Our Cuckoo, our Cookie Monster. 🐕 #dog #doodle #animalcompanions #birthday #dogsofbluesky #pet

Two things about pelicans 1. By Dixon Lanier Merritt A funny old bird is a pelican. His beak can hold more than his belican. Food for a week He can hold in his beak, But I don't know how the helican. 2. That “horn” thing on their bill is called a CARUNCLE (such a good word!) or a nuptial tubercle

I would love to sketch out a Mere doll for the trend all over the internets but without the machine learning and AI thievery, but I have no time and the flash in the pan will be over when I do 🤷‍♀️ So here’s my Timberdoodle instead #meep #traditionalart #traditionalartist #woodcock #timberdoodle

I get help with my perspective and feelings that I am responsible for everything. Including things I have no control over and/or have never done before. This is ridiculous. When we take a first crack at things they should be a shitshow. Messy. Chaotic. And uncomfortable. I’m very uncomfortable

I’m in the final weeks bringing together a huge volunteer effort to engage the public about Kitchener being a bird-friendly city & why this is important for all (not just the bird-obsessed) It has triggered every perfectionist fear in my entire body But I’m also proud of myself #anxiety #birds

A year ago I drew a Cuban Tody. Cute, super green and a delight to draw for a friend who fell in love with these borbs when he went birding in Cuba. #cubantody #tody #birds #birdart #cuba

Wonder what they're getting away with today with this Legalizing rape? Child marriages? Elon stealing more money? Can Americans still vote? Will bombs start falling on Canada? Or is it just vapid self-aggrandizing because he’s so pathetically stupid humanity and empathy are beyond him Who knows!

How to tell a raven from a crow. An older guide I made with Dr Kaeli Swift. And yes that's an aileron roll, not a barrel roll, but only us nerds know that :)

A chart called "how to tell a raven from a crow". An illustration shows that the common raven has long, fancy throat feathers, but the American crow has smooth throat feathers. The raven has a wedge-shaped tail and the crow has a fan-shaped tail. The raven croaks, saying "crroak crroak", but the crow caws, saying "caw caw caw". The raven regularly barrel rolls, and is shown doing a fun roll in the sky, with the sound effect whooooosh. The crow less regularly barrel rolls, and it's shown flying awkwardly and saying "Am I doing it now??" while another crow replies "ummm almost".
