In the studio with windows open for a breeze (in January wtf), burning some incense (my “deep animal” blend), treated wood with lemon oil and beeswax (bonus turpentine smell), other surfaces with my oakmoss sandalwood spray, and wearing aged vanilla attar while the occasional orchid scent wafts by.

I sketched some of the views along the I-70 on our way home from Steamboat Springs.

I like to decorate cookies as if a glitter factory exploded.

Some fanart from the old book series “The Alien Chronicles: The Golden One”. This is my take on the main characters from the first book, when they are still young.

Gouache and watercolor sketch of Yolo the baby king vulture. He’s such a cute baby. 🥹

Neostylis Fuchs in flower, one of my favorite orchids.

From putrid fungal infection rot to pushing out healthy roots and pseudo bulbs, this orchid seems to be recovering! I just treated it for mealybugs cause it doesn’t need that stress.

I’m optimistic for a full recovery, but probably no blooms for a couple years.

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.

We visited Miyajima Island, and its profound morning beauty made me tear up.

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.

Full sketchbook page of studies. Bat wings are so cool, I love the elegance in their shapes.

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