Folks have been asking for it, and I'm happy to oblige. I've printed the panoramic prints on smaller paper!!! The smaller size is 8.5 x 25" compared to the 13 x 38" they've only been available in until now. I'll have them at shows now going forward and in my store: www.emmalerae.com/store.html

A photo of two panoramic prints.

In the top one a group of 4 adult Allosaurus work together to take down a full grown Diplodocus. Dust is being kicked up into the air from the hunt and two juveniles lag behind distracted by some dragonflies.

In the bottom one an adult Spinosaurus sleeps on a fallen log as dawn breaks in Cretaceous Africa. Sitting on the head of the adult is a baby Spinosaurus watching a tapejarid decide to land on the log right in front of them.

Sharktember: 27 & 28: Samurai & How-To I had so much fun looking up traditional Japanese fabric motifs to make the little border around the Samurai. How-To Shark is an ode to ~ for Dummies books. It's also the cutest goblin shark I've ever drawn #sharktember #sharks #watercolor #art

Better be safe than slightly thirsty

4 panel comic: Panel 1: small forg in front of his bed with pink sheets. Of course the bed has a smiley face on the frame. Anyway, Forg says ‘bed time’
Panel 2: Forg is now on top of the bed but he isn’t quite ready yet. He says ‘wait a sec’  Panel 3: He climbed out of bed again and walks away. He says ‘hold on’
Panel 4: He is back and now all tucked in his bed. The bed smiles. There’s a huge glass of water next to him on the bedside. That’s what he needed. Now he says ‘ok yeah ready’

Humaning.

A four-panel comic. In panel 1, a Northern Cardinal and American Goldfinch perch above a busy crowd in a city, looking down. The cardinal says "It's a nice day to go humaning." The goldfinch says "Just look at them. Majestic." In panel 2, a close-up of the two birds. The cardinal says "Nobody tells you that you'll reach a certain age and suddenly get into humaning. I hit 3 years old, and then bam."The birds are looking out over the crowd scene. In panel 3, the cardinal says "Their calls sound funny to us, but each one has a unique meaning." Below, people are saying various things: "I'm tired." "Where's my phone?" "I'd murder a burrito." In panel 4, the birds look down excitedly at a man walking by. The cardinal says "Wait, is that a guy who got dressed in the dark and put his shirt on inside out and backwards?" And the goldfinch exclaims, "Holy... that's a lifer!"

"The Whole World is Bark" Brown Creeper and Colorful Zale 8"x10" oil painting on panel Inspired by a Brown Creeper exploring the intricate landscape of bark on an older Yellow Birch, before totality during the 2024 solar eclipse. If you explore the bark too, you'll find the Colorful Zale. 🪶🐡

An oil painting of a Brown Creeper, clinging to the curling and craggy bark of an older Yellow Birch tree. A Colorful Zale moth, which uses Yellow Birch as one of its host plants, clings to the bark in the upper center of the painting, in soft shadows. The light is a somewhat surreal warm grey, as the solar eclipse was well underway, minutes from totality. The artist watermark reads: Copyright 2026 Jennifer Miller "Nambroth" featherdust dot com
