the terrible beast - portrait of a grey squirrel
When I find a photo with weird lighting in my camera roll I am cursed with the compulsion to make a study of it. Fur is kind of fun to paint tho.

I’m Dalton and I make lots of stuff. But more specifically lots of mugs.

I went traditional with this one. Scrap steel/wood as always with a beeswax fitted tang inside the wa and a wax and oil finish on the handle. Epoxy is ok to hold things together but I like the idea of the eventual owner of this knife to be able to remove and replace the handle as needed

Ive finally managed to take some photos of my (almost) life sized Gyrfalcon artdoll today! Fully Posable made out of faux materials! 🤍
Finished this guy in August for a LARP event and I definitely want to make some "prop food" for more realism!

I continue to sell brooches and pins inspired by historic artworks from public collections!
Each one comes mounted in a greetings card which depicts the original artwork on the front and provides context for the art inside, and I do free first-class postage in the UK.

My wife is an illustrator who does a lovely range of seasonal and nature themed cards, prints, teatowels (sometimes with awful puns I have repeatedly failed to veto). All her illustrations are hand-drawn and coloured. She also does commissions, with custom maps being a speciality: www.coostie.co.uk

The more I think about it, the more I think I appreciate Psilopterus. This was just so good of a terror bird depiction, even though this species was basically what happens when you have feral cats left over in a world devoid of lions and tigers.

Gars historically haven't had the same protections as sportfish like bass or trout. But thanks to folks like @solomonrdavid.bsky.social, @matthewlmiller.bsky.social + others, people - and legislators (www.mprnews.org/story/2023/0...) - are starting to appreciate these awesome fish #25DaysofFishmas

It’s time to hang up the holiday GAR-land 🎄
Move over Florida Man, it’s Florida Gar’s time to shine!
On Day 3 of #25DaysofFishmas, we head down to the Sunshine State to find the Florida gar (Lepisosteus platyrhincus), an ancient-looking fish whose appearance hasn’t changed much since the Mesozoic

A unique feature of gars is those distinctive armor-like scales! Unlike a typical fish’s overlapping scales, gars have interlocking “ganoid” scales that are made up of a material similar to the enamel on our teeth. The name “Lepisosteus” even means “bony scale” 🦴 #25DaysofFishmas

Yolo often stands with his little back toes crossed, which I find ridiculously cute!
You can see vultures don't have bulky feet and talons built for grasping/carrying like other raptors. Their more chicken-like feet are meant for bracing on food to pull at it with their powerful beaks, instead.
