A very cozy Willow Ptarmigan for tisorridalamor on tumblr! Thank you so much for the #Waymakers donation! 🪶🎨 #SciArt #BirdArt The Waymakers challenge is a race and fundraiser hosted every September by @theyoungcenter.bsky.social to help immigrant kids in the US. Join us again next September!

A cozy-looking Willow Ptarmigan cuddled up in a loaf with eyes closed, amid grass and leaves and purple flowers. The bird has a short, stout black bill, a red eyebrow, and beautiful mottled gold and black and white feathers for camouflage among the summer browns and dappled sunlight.

#InverteFest announcement: The December art book will be our 8th and last edition. We've been doing this since 2024 but my real life responsibilities have changed. We might revive the idea in the future in one form or another, but no promises. If you want in, this is your last chance.

American Tree Sparrow for a J.W. Thank you so much for your #Waymakers donation! 🎨🪶 #SciArt #BirdArt Together we raised $1594 this year to help immigrant kids in the US. They need it more than ever - it helps find family, ensure their safety, & provide legal support & basic supplies. Thank you all!

Illustration of a very round cute fluffy American Tree Sparrow perched on a thin twig in pale winter sunlight. Falling snow blankets a twiggy shrub in the background. The little sparrow has a rufous crown, eyestripe, and back, a black and yellow bill, and a soft gray belly with a black central spot.

Proud to present my lifesize T. rex head, affectionately named Hannibal. I created this myself from start to finish- digital sculpture, resin 3D printing, painting, etc. Huge thanks to my friend @rj-palmer.com for instrumental crits and redlines during the sculpting process.

Is it a Red-tailed Hawk? Look for broad, rounded wings + relatively short tail, a signature trait of buteo hawks. The dark leading wing edges + belly band can stand out when the bird is soaring overhead. And don’t let the tail fool you! #RedtailedHawk #IDTips #birds

Illustration of a set of European Herring Gulls lined up in front of a gray sea. All of the adults are blurred, either close to or far from the "camera", leaving a juvenile in focus with its beak open to the sky as it calls out. The adults are snowy white and pale gray with bright yellow bills, but the juvenile has a black bill, mottled pale gray head and breast, and extensive brown-gray mottling all over the wings and back.

WAVE (1994) Acrylic on Canvas - 48” x 48” Of all the paintings hanging in my home, this one probably elicits the most comments. #art

An exponential curve expressed as a massive wave of green-blue water that climbs to vertical against a sky of puffy lavender clouds. Light breaks through the cloud cover just over the horizon casting a flat glare across rippling water before the wave climbs. Fin-like ridges emerge running up the wall give the water turbulence and dimension.

Illustration of a Standard-winged Nightjar doing a display flight in front of a big beautiful glowing full moon. The nightjar, a mottled gray/brown/white bird, has long pointed wingtips, a short stubby beak, and a big black eye. It is flying with wings bent low in an upside-down U shape while wiggling its strange "standards" - elongated huge shiny black primaries that bend upward from the wings and look like black pointed flags.

Illustration of a Luzon Bleeding-heart, a dove with a patch of deep red feathers in the center of the breast that look as though the bird has a bleeding wound. Otherwise its cap is gray, throat is white, lower belly is orange, and the wings are barred blue-gray and black. It is perched on a mossy log amidst lush green, implying a tropical jungle.

The bird otherwise is mostly green with spots of turquoise on the nape and wings. It is perched with its back to us on the branch of a fig tree, and has a piece of fig fruit in its beak - likely torn from the broken fruit on the top of a cluster to the bird's right.
