I am an artist and I love birds, birbs, and borbs, especially when they are in cute whimsical situations (often as stickers)! www.instagram.com/ranthebowart...

Large budgie starting at you with mystical swirls like a crystal ball making up the ball shape of it's body. The caption at the bottom reads "Pondering My Borb", referencing a meme of a Magic the Gathering card featuring wizard pondering his crystal ball.

Have you ever made a mistake that ended up making the whole project better? 🫣 When I tried to remove the tape on this painting, it tore the paper! But this is a rendition of a Forest God, chaos themselves. So I added more rips, and I quite like the end result! 5/5 - The Forest God

This one has a little (or very big!) furry companion! I was not going to let the crop on this one cut his little ears off!! 🥺💕 If you could have a furry companion,what would it be? I would love to have a bird, like some sort of owl or raptor! 🦉 4/5 - The Fall

I woke up to a dusting of snow this holiday season so perfect to post my snowy scholar ❄️ Can you tell I was inspired by Japanese wood block carvings (ukiyo-e) for this series? I think this painting most accurately captured that ✨️ 3/5 - The Winter

I spent a lot of time this summer painting a series of 5 gouache illustrations, my first time exploring gouache as a medium. While it's no oil paint (❤️), I found them vibrant and fun to work with! 1/5 - The Sun
