You can call me Caim, I do restoration ecology full-time and art part-time between bug school assignments 🪲 My main sona is a deer 🦌 and my main style is abstract 🔽

A reference sheet with 4 fursonas on it, with their scientific names listed like a diagram drawn by an old naturalist. There are 27 bugs and plants depicted too: some of my favorites.

Hey. Breaking my hiatus for a moment. I got into a car accident today. I’m just here to plug my ko-fi bc honestly. I’m not sure how much this is going to be. Physically, other than the chronic pain I already deal with, I’m okay. Mentally is a different story. ko-fi.com/verra

My car, a silver hatchback, with a huge impact on the rear passenger side.

-This is not the sky-

😢It is really sad to see adorable birds dying because of the reflection on windows, so I made this illustration for some bird protection organizations to propagandize this situation.

I was leading a restoration volunteer work group this week and, having established that I know bugs, one person asked me "do you know what kind of bug this is?" & holds out a closed fist to give me something

I held out an open palm and smiled with a "I'll take a look!" 😊

They hand it over-

trespassing 🐾🛑 sticker design until the 30th on my patreon!

#art #indigenousart

a formline design of a wolf, coloured in bright orange. the formline wolf is laid over a few layers of a disjointed scene: a chain-link fence, with a snarling semi-realistic wolf drawn behind it; the top half of a concrete building; and lastly, a dark backdrop showing utility poles and street lights in the distance. a couple lights give off a lens flare.

We been known this type shit was coming since 2016.

I think is so insane that they will have their guy in power, have all privilege n' perks in life yet still so badly want to be the minority.

Sounds like the segregationists in Connecticut are having a grand ole time

“While waiting for the police to arrive, the old Karen’s friend said, ‘You’re not the minority anymore.'”
