Have you ever heard of an allonautilus? The fuzzy sea peach at the top of my oil painting is the extremely rare allonautlius. Its only been documented in the wild a couple of times.

Back in the states after 6 weeks in Japan.
Outstanding, unforgettable trip. I left with a lot of thoughts, inspirations, and memories to cherish.
One such experience was watching endangered Blakiston’s fish owls in Hokkaido. This was taken with an iPhone through a scope.

Did I pet the deer in Miyajima? You bet I did. They are so chill, nothing phased them, not even school kids dashing past.

Half the time I see a large billed crow, it’s got a goodie. This looks like a piece of karaage to me.

Old painting of a phoenix, based on a photo of the back view of a sunning sea eagle doing droopy wings and looking like real bad anatomy.

Flamingo dragon color tests. I’m playing with the limited pinks available in the Luminance line of colored pencils. It’s a great exercise!
