(he has now been safely returned to near where he was found, for those concerned)

you'd think this guy would be a bit more grateful about being fished out of mud, rinsed off (for free!) and being given as many meal worms as requested but no. Whinge whinge whinge.

is there anything more soothing to draw than grasses twisting in the wind?

Definitely! I got some proofs of others (including a magpie!) but I need to make some minor adjustments before offering them for sale. I'm aiming to add them next week

also, as a reminder: you can get my clip studio brushes plus a couple of other things for free

I have added some prints to my ko-fi page. It took a long time but I've found a good UK based print service to supply UK/Europe folks with bird portraits. Hahnemüle eco paper, 10+ colour giclee prints, if it wasn't my own artwork I'd say they look pretty good!

if you have no expectations it turns out drawing can be fun AND relaxing. Insane news tbh

what a season for those who are absolute freaks about trees

I got used to it as a way to cut down on social media, if I'm going to be scrolling it might as well be some long form writing. Also no one thinks twice about seeing someone in the office on their phone but pick up a novel and everyone thinks you're slacking off for some reason?? Books are nicer tho

oh I just finished this today! I read it on my phone tho so my wrists remain intact

sea dog

the non-aesthetic hauls are good too
