Day 3 of #Inktober: miniature. Had to think of a mini Cal Native and what's minier than a California beach Flea? #calnative #invertabrates #digitalinktober Reference: www.inaturalist.org/observations...

Day 2 of #Inktober where I'm challenging myself to draw California Natives for most of the month. For Relic I did the California Grizzly. The bear on our flag, that got the honor after going extinct. #digitalinktober #illustration #calnative #bear

Day 1 of my Cal Native #Inktober: Apple. I decided to go with a Hoary Manzanita. Manzanita means little apple, so I think it fits even if it is technically not an apple. I did a dark and light version #inktober #digitalinktober #illustration #CalNatives

Hello friends! It's #Inktober, and I missed posting day 1 and 2 already, but that's ok because I still drew them. For this Inktober I'm trying to do a California Native for each day in the best case scenario and worst case another organism or a creature. I'm not sure how I'm going to do a few of em.

Smolder is now 7 years old now. I had done this in 2019, that year the Amazon was on fire and we all were in a panic. this was my interpretation of a vengeful forest spirit.

The best part about challenges like #AvianAugust is the learning. My piece for Day 1 was a lot of fun and a lot of work. The style I used takes me about 3.5 hours to draw birds which isn't something I can't do every day. So I had to go back to the drawing board. Literally! Look out for more posts.

'You'll choke too' - an aerial embroidery landscape inspired by all the wildfires happening right now... I'm upset every time I smell smoke outside and somehow we have people starting them maliciously too! But we all breathe the same air so they'll choke too (1/2 - see thread for close-ups)

An embroidery hoop containing a sewn landscape from above. It shows a forest on the right, a line of fire and charred ground with smoke on the left. The smoke is felted wool.
