Mockingbirds and wild rose hips. Day 12 #ArtAdventCalendar I think I drew this after reading that mockingbirds might eat winter moths? We have been inundated with the moths the last few years.

watching this in public was a huge mistake, oh my god. the fact he's still eating like he isn't being violently thrown around is killing me.

I slowed it down and zoomed in at the end, you see it on the left. I hope he comes back and that the Wren sticks around for the winter! The Wren also visited the photo setup and took a hilarious mugshot:

Been drawing so many reindeer at work these days 🦌
A two panel comic of two reindeer talking to eachother. They are wearing harnesses and jingle bells and are facing eachother. The reindeer on the left says "So I was dashing through the snow" and the second reminder cuts them off by saying "the dasherrrrr" in the second panel, the first reindeer is noticably offput by the comment, looking at the other reindeer who is simply smiling like nothing happened. The library is all red, but behind the reindeer is a simple green texture.

it's me, unnamed critter from bosch's triptych of the temptation of anthony!
me with a blue funnel like hat, with a stick out the top holding a red ball on a string. I have on a red capelet and am carrying a letter with calligraphy and a seal in my crooked beak. I've got a badge with a symbol on it the guy from the original painting that's got on my outfit except it's wearing tan turnshoes

No Country for Old Cows (2007)
Edited screenshots from No Country for Old Men. Anton Chigurh (with cow horns and cow ears) sits in a hotel chair and asks someone across from him, "If the tool you followed brought you to this, of what use was the tool?" In a zoomed out view, Anton sits silently behind a table with the 4 cow tools look8ng at his victim as if studying him.

Wayfinding in post-apocalyptic video games
View from a path or road through and industrial park. To the right is an empty lot and power pole, with some buildings off in the distance. A trestle bridge can bee seen some distance away. On the left, a pair of jersey barriers painted green sit next to an old industrial building, with some pipes spewing steam behind them. One of the barriers has a white “up” arrow painted on it, while the other has a “right” arrow next to an arch icon. Far off in the distance, the Gateway Arch towers over adjacent buildings.

St Louis trip day 1/3 complete! Amtrak to Alton, visited the Melvin Price Lock and Dam, then rode to the Olin Nature Preserve. Never heard so many red-headed woodpeckers in my life.
Looking up at Willis/Sears tower at sunrise from ground level. It towers over the alleyway The Melvin Price Lock and Dam, a massive concrete structure rising over the Mississippi. There’s a few Army Corps of Engineers logos in the side. Third St, Alton, Illinois. In the background an abandoned factory towers over the town. At the end of the street there’s a row of building, including a defunct Masonic Temple. A big sign beckons to enter a bar. A view across the Mississippi from atop the bluffs at the Olin Nature Preserve.

I wanted to get a video of this ghost crab but every time I got close to their hole they scuttled back in, so I tried getting clever with it. I made a little sandcastle and shoved my phone into it, hit record, and walked away. Crab was VERY suspicious of this addition to their environment.
