It's here! 2026 #SaveTheVaquita postcard print! Thru Oct. 24 I'm offering a limited run postcard print benefiting porpoise.org conservation programs! This print is a commemorative symbol and reminder that you made a difference in helping the Vaquita.💙 Get yours here: ko-fi.com/s/9d370005a9
#SaveTheVaquita

This Save the Vaquita Postcard Print is a limited run of 100 signed 5x7 inch postcard prints, on premium cardstock, with a glossy front cover and will be signed and numbered on the back.

New! Save The Vaquita Week Twitch Event Sticker!
The 3-inch round gloss finish sticker is extremely durable and is great for everyday use, such as water bottles, phone cases, folders, and protective helmets for sports.

The postcard print is a commemorative symbol and reminder that you made a difference in helping the Vaquita. All revenue ( with the exception of shipping costs ) from this print will be donated directly to porpoise.org at the end of Save the Vaquita Week!

Why a postcard? Because of tariffs, taxes, and international rules for sending and receiving mail in this day and age, the postcard and sticker are the safest to send without involving customs. It's a nice little way to share my art and passion to support environmental causes without creating unnecessary product waste.

Save the Vaquita Day is October 10th, 2026, and the Save the Vaquita Week runs from Sunday, October 11th- Saturday, October 17th.

This limited run ends Oct 24th, 2026
All Print orders will be mailed the week of October 26th, 2026.

shortfin mako shark (Swim On 10, 2024) #art 🎨🐡🦑🦈
Rendered in a rough painterly style, a shortfin mako shark leaps from a calm ocean tail over head, seafoam trailing its body in a loose arc. The shark, looking nearly metallic, is rimmed with orange light as a pale yellow sun hangs in a hazy orange sky and frames its streamlined figure.

cormorants at rest (2022) #art #birds #wildart 🎨🐡
A pair of double-crested cormorant rest on some rocks in the water. The bird in the center looks over its shoulder toward the viewer, its wings spread out to dry, displaying the scale-like feathers across its back. The illustration is rendered in a limited palette of muted teals, creams, and warm browns.

"In the Ancient Hallowed Places" Ovenbird with Six-spotted Tiger Beetle 10"x24" oil painting on panel The beautiful conglomerate rocks of an ancient sea floor; buried and lifted and revealed and eroded, the life that once was and is again, complex and beautiful and interconnected across time. 🪶🐡
A long format oil painting showing a cropped rock formation of ancient conglomerate, cracked and looming in its current form by water, ice, and time. A wash of moss and lichens crawls across the surfaces that allowed it to grow, with stunted mountain laurel taking root in the mossy nursery, and large brownish rock tripe lichens clinging here and there. A few aged white oak leaves sit in the moss, bug eaten and worn, and near the center sits an Ovenbird, the tiny stripy warbler pausing in its day. On the rock closest to us on the right is a metallic green colored Six-spotted tiger beetle. The artist watermark reads: copyright 2026 Jennifer Miller "Nambroth" featherdust dot com

Arctic Tern for a kind anon donor! Thank you for your #Waymakers contribution! I got a little experimental with this one, haha. 🎨🪶 #BirdArt #SciArt The Waymakers Challenge every September raises funds to help immigrant kids in the US! Donate by Sept. 30: youngcenter.donordrive.com/campaigns/Bi...
Arctic Tern illustration with its wings spread wide, showing its pale gray back, forked tail, black cap, and red beak. There's a dreamy, ethereal vibe to the image with glittering light bouncing off of the water and a hazy distant conifer-lined shoreline.

@diplotomodon.bsky.social has substantially increased the value of this post with a lengthy comment explaining the context. This is part of a larger pattern of Philadelphia cultural institutions getting shafted, and the interests of real estate developers are clearly in play. Please give it a read.

star snatcher (Polar Lights 4, 2026) #art #sciArt #birdArt 🎨
Illustration of a flying long-tailed jaeger, a dark and robust seabird with a white chest, faintly yellow throat, and a black-capped head. The bird pauses at the zenith of its skyward flight, its beak open as if to grab a blue star hanging in the sunset sky. It is framed by towering clouds whose edges are brushed a peachy orange by the setting sun.

Painted portrait of Ningeko's OC Crystal. She is a young woman with tanned skin, and darker discoloration on her left side along with a diamond shaped scar on her fore head and a longer scar that goes from her left eye to her cheek. She has blue-grey hair cut short and choppy with a low ponytail in the back and long side burns. Her left eye is grey and her right eye is blue. She is smirking slightly towards the viewer. Crystal is wearing a black turtleneck and a wide yellow hoodie/cape. She is surrounded by rainbow-colored crystals on a dark grey background against a glowing orange square.

He is the typical browns and beiges of a fisher except for his oak-leaf markings along his neck. He is wearing a green beanie and is set against a backdrop of the mountains, sun and spruce trees. The background is grey-green with a green square in front.

For #BirdOfTheDay, this lovely #SunnyDayBirds illustration is of a singing female American Redstart done for @songbirding.com . Many female birds do sing, and yet we still know very little about it! #BirdArt #SciArt 🪶
Illustration of a singing female American Redstart on a bright sunny spring day. Her head is tipped back, beak open, while she is perched on a mottled brown branch. She is overall grayish on the body but has a patch of bright yellow at the side of the breast, and a black and yellow tail. Behind her are pale pastel well-lit dogwood flowers and soft green leaves.
