Giraffe at the port
(I've been playing around with photograph draw overs, inspired by @tallfroguy.bsky.social 's critterposting sketches)
A container crane in the distance has had a giraffe's head drawn on top, eating from a drawn in tree.

Leucism
Crude 4 panel comic about an all white sparrow in a world of normal coloured sparrows finding another with the same rare mutation. Text reads “i don’t know what leucism is. No one explains genetic mutations to a bird. Even in a crowd I was alone. Until I wasn’t.”
