Alrighty, let’s give this place a try!

✨ Hi, I’m an artist and illustrator in love with drawing our natural world and the wildlife that call this planet home.

Feeling extra grateful that I live in a parliamentary republic today. Government can’t come together to agree on a budget? Snap, non-confidence election.

Feeling for my American friends and family right now.

Rode my bike through the thickest fog this morning. So this is what it’s like to be in a cloud? ☁️

Can’t believe I’ve been sleeping on Star Trek Deep Space 9 all my life.

It’s so good.

(I’m half way through season 5 so shhhh. No spoilers)

Since moving to my new house my bike ride to work is mostly the same - but now I have to cross 8 lanes of traffic at a singled crosswalk (I walk my bike across).

This is by far the most dangerous part of my journey.

So many drivers either don’t stop or take off as soon as you’re past them.

My arachnophobia makes this so hard 😭😭😭

So. Many. Spiders 😭

Dang! Thats too bad. I had a tough set of hiccups this morning and it took a couple tries. Turns out this doesn’t work well when drinking out of a straw.

Got hiccups? Take a deep breath, then sip water super slowly for as long as you can.

Works. Every. Time.

Shoutout to the random customer who shared this with me while working retail 8+ years ago. I’ll never forget you.

It’s beautiful 🥲

Thank you Charlotte 💕

After moving back in with my parents, I went over three years without a decent space to draw, so having this new setup in my own home feels incredibly special!

Update: We are officially getting it re-printed, signed and numbered by the artist. Had to destroy the old one in the process though!

Every now and then you can find prints of it available for sale
naviira.bsky.social
Btw it’s called “OCEAN rhapsody” not “Orca rhapsody” 🤦‍♀️

Was a good typo though

Update: I was speaking with a gallery that has connections with the artist and the print house. We might be able to get this reprinted. I think I might cry!!

Will post updates as they come.
naviira.bsky.social
Will do! Crossing my fingers something can be done
naviira.bsky.social
No kidding right?? We almost didn’t stop at the store
naviira.bsky.social
Yeah they can work magic! I’m sure there’s someone I can go to for this. Just gotta look into it more
