Critically Endangered Swift Parrot is one of just three migratory parrots on earth. Removal of their habitat has left possibly 500 in the wild.

Your efforts are so so appreciated and worthwhile!

Even though it’s hard to put the experience into words, and it absolutely doesn’t sound silly! Because it truly does set your brushes apart.
This makes so much sense to me because I was blown away by the feel of your oil brushes when I started using them!

I had no idea how to explain it but it was so different to any other brushes I’d ever used.
I’ve been working on a little cartoon series on this exact topic.

It turns out even with daily irrefutable evidence, we can still have mass & institutional denial of reality.

And oppression of truth.

From our most trusted sources.

Thank you @davemilbo.bsky.social for this great article.

Do you mind if I use these photos for artwork inspiration? Such beautiful arrangements

Anyone else stop at Gundagai on the drive between Sydney/Melbourne? 🙋🏻‍♀️

A cute old town with architecture that’s fun to capture!

Ooo enjoy!

Here’s my latest using Lisa Glanz’ gouache brushes with extra colour jitter.

Oh and Lisa includes great canvases with her brushes.

Timelapse video description: vibrant coloured digital gouache artwork of a row of 3 old style single story houses, each with an awning. The whole scene neon colours, with the three houses bright pink, two shades of green, and red and orange. The sky is bright blue and purple.

I’ve finally remembered to share more of my cricket art on my insta account.

So if you like cricket art (and more) popping up in your feed (if the algorithm allows lol), feel free to go give me a follow over there too!

(Not that it’s acceptable for the Gov to just completely ignore reality.)

But it doesn’t explain why the media have gone awol.

So I’d like to do what I can to visually bring this issue to the fore, and in turn help pressure both the government & media to pay attention & do something
It’s honestly shocking how little coverage this drought is getting.

Even though it’s obvious even in Melbourne how little rain we’ve had all summer!

I heard someone say the government isn’t wanting to acknowledge there’s a drought because then they’d have to provide assistance.

Sadly makes sense
I’m an artist wanting to raise awareness of the current drought in Vic & SA.

I have 2 qns:

1. Are there any charities supporting these farms/communities I can direct people to?

2. Are any farmers willing to send me some photos I can use as references for my artwork? I’d love to show real places
It’s really bad in western Vic. Almost no autumn rain
THE DROUGHT IN VICTORIA

The farms are beyond struggling.

I'm hearing from family, they've been trucking in water since December. They're on their last bit of feed. They'll have to sell their livestock by next month.
