A dozen banana slugs for you today 🤗💛 Which one is your favourite?? This is part of a much larger passion project I’m working on, to illustrate as many colour variations of the Pacific Banana Slug as I can!! (within reason, obviously)

The background shows an illustration of a Great Blue Heron, sitting at a rock at the water’s edge at sunset. The image looks sparkly, with the water reflecting the pink glow of the sky.

Hello, BlueSky! I’m Alena, I like slugs! I make slug art and sell sluggy nifty-gifties! That’s the elevator pitch 😂

An illustrated poster of 10 different sea slugs from the west coast of North America, in different shapes and rainbow colours, over a blue background.

A photo of two stickers. The top one shows a yellow banana slug with text that reads “Weird Is Wonderful.” The bottom one shows a green pacific chorus frog with text that reads “This Frog Is Proud of You.”
