A few studies of some Mallard's. Love to just watch the ducks float around on very calm waters.

Some new sticker designs on the way! And my new obsession into drawing fish too, so hopefully have the combination between the two species in my work :)

Wow!! Thats pretty incredible! I know I've seen a few turn up on boats as well looking exhausted!

Crow Artist @crowartist.bsky.social · Jan 30

Lol that is really interesting! I'll have to add that one!

Crow Artist @crowartist.bsky.social · Jan 29

Thanks Tim! I'd love to use lots of spurns stuff for some illustrations!

Crow Artist @crowartist.bsky.social · Jan 28

Thank you so much! That's super!

Does anyone have any cool bird ringing stories for migrating birds? I want to create a little book and some keyrings based on birds that migrate. I remember a story about a Blackbird that travelled to Norway and was 7 years old - I had no idea that they moved so much!

I was out with the birdwatching group today, which was phenomenal! This Kingfisher posed on this bulrush right out in the sun giving us all quite the show!

A couple of quick sketches to warm up! The Crows and Magpies are quite territorial at the moment, fighting for the best nesting sites or protecting their current territory from strangers.

These look gorgeous! Always love the contrast of a Raven and a Leucistic Raven!

I’m immersed in a bunch of new art involving ravens. They have such mysterious anatomy but this guide by @crowartist.bsky.social is the best. Available on their Etsy page. All the books are fabulous.

I want to thank everyone for supporting my work and small art business this year! I wouldn't be able to do my work without you! I have lots planned for next year, hopefully to get everyone in the nature journalling spirit for skill or for mental health as drawing from nature is very healing!

I loved painting the Velvet Scoter so much!

Ah this is perfect!! Definitely, in my opinion, the box shape works so well for birds, especially with big beaks! This looks great!

Yeah, absolutely! They could just ban Temu and Shein instead lol

Crow Artist @crowartist.bsky.social · Dec 12

I saw that it was everything. It all needs labels and your home address as the artist is deemed a "manufacturer" and they need to appoint an "EU responsible person" and add their address to the product as well. As well as origins of paper and risk assessments of it. It's just so much! 😵

Crow Artist @crowartist.bsky.social · Dec 11

From the 13th of December, I will not be able to sell my items to the EU. :( (I will check for digital items)

Absolutely! I don't know any artist that doesn't use references, we all use some sort of starting point. Our memories are good but they aren't that good - mine is terrible!

Crow Artist @crowartist.bsky.social · Dec 3

I get asked a lot if I use reference photos or not. I do most of the time, I take my own pictures and they usually end up blurred - but they can still be worked with!
