I try to focus on that which I feel is beautiful and that which I find kawaii in my traditional art. Our world is fraught with perils, I would like my art to be a safe place.

An eye for an eye. 👁️🖤

Merging with the art this Valentine’s Day. I’m having a peek-a-boo moment with "Meow-mento Mori"—because why have only one big eye? 🐈‍⬛✨

Wishing you all a mysterious and sweet Valentine’s! 🥀

#ArtSky #GothicValentine #MeowMentoMori #BigEyeArt #LisabellaRusso #ArtistOnSky
A portrait of artist Lisabella Russo. She is wearing a black crochet hat with cat ears. She holds a heart-shaped painting of a big-eyed cat girl over the left side of her face, creating a whimsical "peek-a-boo" effect where the painted eyes replace her own.

Hurrah feeling better enough that I can partake in the last shortlist bird for #BirbFest2026 Here be the majestic Red Junglefowl.....

#BirdArt #SciArt #BirbFest #Illustration #Procreate #ArtSky
An original digital illustration by Loadofolbobbins of a Red Junglefowl stood atop a small mound of grass. Very cockerel like in appearance as they're the wild origin of the domestic chicken. They have long dark grey tail feathers with green/blue iridescent highlights. Their chest feathers are grey black and underwings are a similar colour but with a bright orange streak at the edge of each feather. Starkly contrasting this are the upper wings, they are bright golden oranges and yellows, leading to blue iridescent feathers and then bright red feathers. The head feathers echo the bright golden oranges and yellows of the upper wing and has the classic bright red comb and wattle of a domestic chicken. The background of the image is turquoise inky splashes against a white background.

Our research on Long-eared owl plumage is getting some media traction, which is exciting! But I want to clarify that we're certainly not the first to discover or describe these pigments in owls - owl banders have been using fluorescence in the field for decades! (1/2)

A flat lay of a selection of original bird illustration prints by Loadofolbobbins. They’re all muddled together overlapping to create a joyful mass of birds. The birds you can see as illustrations are a goldfinch, pukeko, white browed tit warbler, curl crested aracari, brown hooded kingfisher, Californian sage grouse, king penguin, red billed oxpecker, bluejay, harpy eagle, Bluethroat, white created helmetshrike and a red and yellow barbet. A selection of laser cut wooden jewellery featuring illustrations inspired by ivy and the wildlife it attracts. Working from left to right, a small vibrant variegated ivy necklace with a jersey tiger moth stuck to the leaf, a pair of ivy stud earrings (left one is variegated with lime green border & slightly darker green centre, right stud is dark green ivy leaf with light green veining), small wooden charm of an ivy mining bee, a swallowtail moth lapel pin on a illustrated ivy backing card, a large dark green veined ivy leaf necklace with red admiral butterfly stuck to bottom left, a jersey tiger moth lapel pin on a backing card full of ivy illustrations, pair of matching ivy mining bee stud earrings on a backing card, a small wooden charm of a golden hoverfly, a small vibrant variegated ivy necklace, a large dark green veined ivy leaf necklace with a golden hoverfly stuck to the bottom left and a red admiral butterfly lapel pin. Text says Ivy League by Loadofolbobbins An original digital illustration of a Cassowary bird by Loadofolbobbins. The illustration focuses on its neck and head. A very dinosaur looking bird the Cassowary has a bright reddish orange wrinkled neck and wattle that transitions to a bright intense blue face with sharp angles of the skull visible underneath its skin. It has a beak slightly elongated and pointed downwards. It has a large eye with a yellowy orange iris that is glistening in the sun. On top of its head is a casque, which is an enlargement of the bone from its upper skull and looks almost like a Mohawk and is an array of greens in colour. The background is a splash of light grey ink. A photo montage of pigeon themed product from Loadofolbobbins. Clockwise from top left a hardback book of illustrations called 100 days of Coosplay by Jessica Taylor and Fred the pigeon, a laser cut wooden necklace showing an illustration of a pigeon coosplaying as a unicorn, a series of three laser cut wooden pins showing illustrations of a pigeon coosplaying as Elizabeth the first, an artist and a roller derby player.

Too adorable not to draw.
