I’m taking a class on artist’s books and went a little nuts with some introspection on the animals I interact with. It’s called “the size of curiosity.” #sciart
A page of an unfolded accordion book. There is a yellow spider perched on its web in the top right corner. Beneath it, the paper of the panel is cut away and stitched together with white thread to resemble the webbing. The left half of the page features text that reads: “what does the spider think of me when i place a fly in its web,” with “me” emphasized in larger text. A blue and green house fly sits beneath it in the corner. A spread of an unfolded accordion book. Soft, light gray fabric is sewn onto the top half of the spread, framing a brown Deer Mouse that sits facing left between the pages. To the right of it is text that reads: “do the mice enjoy the soft old blankets in the shed”. A spread of an unfolded accordion book. On the left side, a brown cat sits facing away from the viewer. To the right is sprawling text that reads: “does my cat know the vastness of the meadow when she looks out the window”. A brown frame wraps around the entire spread, and the area between the frame and the cat/text is cut out. A spread of an unfolded accordion book. The top half is cut away in the outline of two mountains. On the left side is text that reads: “and why is my curiosity more valuable than theirs?”. On the right side, a small red-haired figure in blue clothing looks up, standing on the slope of a grassy hill. Behind them are the outlines of pine trees.

Oh man it’s #portfolioday! I’m H, a wildlife artist from the Adirondacks who draws birds a lot. I’m a general falconer and have a great love for raptors.
A detailed in-progress ink illustration of a Bald Eagle on white paper. The head is illustrated in detail with black ink, but the rest of the body is still sketched in graphite. The photo is cropped to center the head, with only the top of the torso and part of the left wing visible. The eagle is in flight and looking upwards. A detailed black ink illustration on white paper of a Black-Capped Chickadee perched on a White Pine branch with a caterpillar in its beak. The bird has its back to the viewer but is angled to look from profile. A detailed black ink illustration of a juvenile American Goshawk on white paper. The goshawk is in flight in a landing position, with its talons outstretched and wings raised above its body. A two-page nature journal entry for the American Goshawk. The first page (left) features the title beneath a gray and black ink drawing of the bird in flight on the top half. On the bottom left half of the page is a text blurb that reads: “Accipter atricapilus - In 2023, the American Goshawk was declared its own species separate from the European Goshawk (A. gentilis).”* Next to it is a drawing in the same style of a goshawk perched upright on a branch with the caption “sturdy & bulky Accipiter.” The top of the second page (right) is a portrait of a front-facing Goshawk with the accompanying text: “One difference between A. gentilis and A. atricapillus is their eye color. Rather than remain bright yellow, American Goshawks’ eyes will turn red after reaching maturity.” Below it is a drawing of a goshawk flying towards the viewer through a loosely sketched forest, pursuing a Ruffed Grouse. The accompanying text reads: “Grouse make up a large portion of their diet in every part of their range. Goshawks are one of few raptors strong and fast enough to out fly them.” End ID. *While Accipter atricapilus/gentilis was accurate at the time of this entry, the American/Europeon Goshawk’s scientific name has since been changed to Astur atricapillus / Astur gentilis respectively.

A black ink realistic illustration of a Pine Siskin, a small bird with black wings and streaky, mottled patterns. It is sitting on a branch with its back turned, but its head faces the viewer.
