My first book cover! 🐡🪶
A book cover for Birding for Life: How to Save Ourselves, Birds, and the Planet by LoraKim Joyner. The cover is a gouache painting of a Black Vulture preening a Crested Caracara, which they regularly do for some reason. They're both perched on a dead tree, with the caracara above the vulture with its wings spread. It's sunrise, and the sky is gold. Behind them are purplish hills.

This might be one of my favorite things I've ever gotten to work on, so far--a call to action from the @xercessociety.bsky.social ! Did you know you can help protect endangered insect species just by going out and taking pictures of cute bees and butterflies?

Here’s some sneak peeks of my 16x20” work in progress! Inspired by stained glass and featuring Irish birds, this is the largest piece I’ve worked on in some time! I’ve been enjoying it immensely.

❄️Winter Shop Update❄️ This Friday, Feb 21st at 12pm CT! I will have pre-orders for some new sticker designs, restocks of best-sellers, and a handful of original postcard illustrations (plus custom requests) available!!
.
The link to my Etsy shop is in my bio or you can search for "falcofous" 🥰
The first image shows three colorful die-cut sticker designs: the face of an angry raptor with the words “I came here to kick ass and & _____ and I’m all out of _____.” The birds and their prey featured are, clockwise from the top: Snowy Owl and Lemmings, Harris’s Hawk and rabbits, and Red-tailed Hawk and squirrels. The text next to the stickers reads: “Pre-orders. Three new Kickass Raptor stickers join the flock!” The second image is a sticker sheet featuring stylized drawings of seven southwestern birds of prey on an orange background. Clockwise from the top right: Mississippi Kite, Harris’s Hawk, Crested Caracara, California Condor, Aplomado Falcon, Zone-tailed Hawk, and Gray Hawk. The text next to the stickers reads: “Pre-orders. Southwestern Raptors sticker sheets!” The third image is a rectangular sticker with rounded edges of a stylized portrait of a Rough-legged Hawk wearing a scarf surrounded by snowflakes and the words “Winter Birder.” The third image is a sticker sheet featuring stylized drawings of seven southwestern birds of prey on an orange background. Clockwise from the top right: Mississippi Kite, Harris’s Hawk, Crested Caracara, California Condor, Aplomado Falcon, Zone-tailed Hawk, and Gray Hawk. The text next to the stickers reads: “Pre-orders. Brave the cold with these cozy Rough-legged Hawk stickers.” A cartoony drawing of a Rough-legged Hawk is peeking in from the bottom left corner, thinking “This one’s my favorite!” The fourth image is a photo of the artist’s hand holding three postcards outstretched. The postcards have black and white ink illustrations on the backs, each featuring a different bird of prey in their habitat. The text above the postcards reads: “Plus a handful of original postcard illustrations!”
