arctic / antarctic
Digital ink drawing of a compass rose, around which circle several whales, porpoises, dolphins, seals, and marine birds. Those on the bottom half are animals found in Antarctic waters, such as penguins, a leopard seal, and a pygmy right whale. Those on the top half are found in Arctic waters, including a beluga, narwhal, and walrus. Also at the top point of the compass is a larger bust of a polar bear, mirrored on the bottom of the compass by an emperor penguin. The previous image, but flipped so that the penguin and antarctic animals are on top.

earlier this summer I started volunteering at a wildlife rehab facility. we wear ghillie suits with young impressionable birds or those that are getting too habituated. as you can imagine, this is pretty miserable in 100+ degree weather, but you do what you gotta do to keep these guys wild!

there's no place like home!
#earthday
Digital drawing meant to look like the art side of a slightly weathered postcard. It reads "Greetings from Earth / There's no place like home!!" The letters of "earth" are large and thick, each one filled with an illustration of a different kind of landscape. The rest of the words are handwritten cursive in white. The background is a starry purple-blue sky.
