Artist & Birder. East Yorkshire. Quietly looking at, drawing, painting and printmaking British wildlife. Occasional added nonsense. Birds in Hats and birds on maps a speciality.

It’s always a real treat to loose myself in a larger illustration, and this character owl for my lovely friend @emlusby.bsky.social was an absolute delight to work on. #birdart

Ahh..the Yorkshire coast in autumn.

Last year I was lucky enough to see spectacular numbers of winter thrushes spiraling down out of the clouds @spurnbirdobs.bsky.social. I’m so grateful for these little mental treasures that I keep safe and unwrap when I need them most! #birds

Theres a reshuffle going down in the studio this morning. The Beaglebum is being decidedly unhelpful. Surely it’s time for her annual review? Her self motivation needs some work that’s for sure, and her health and safety training might need an update!

There is also a back catalogue of original pen illustrations now available in ye olde webbe shoppe. Multitudinous birds and beasties. Many with added nonsense. Made myself feel sick thinking of how many hours work there is in this little lot. Swing by and check them out ⬇️

Patiently waiting for cooler weather to get the Etching press out again….its been far far too long. Pens are great but sometimes I need to wield a pointy stick and a scalpel!! #birds #birdart #barnowl #drypoint

There aren’t many issues in my overactive noggin that can’t be fixed by a bit of yorkshire coast air and the sound of kittiwakes, and because I couldn’t get there in person today, this seemed like a good backup plan. I wonder if you can buy guano scented feed diffusers to complete the illusion..?

Busy working away on some vintage map drawings over summer for a webshop update in autumn. This ones a biggie…but here’s a wee detail from a quiet corner. #birds

Little owl staring down the week @northcavewet.bsky.social this morning. Cuckoo, Bittern, Hobby, Marsh Harriers, Grasshopper warbler and a whole host of others. Fabulous visit.

Last commission for a wee while, and this was an absolute gift to work on. Such a beautiful old map found by the clients. Happy faces all round on collection day. Now to put pens down and my hands on ice for a day or two.

It has been an absolute privilege to work on this very special map drawing for a lovely family, to celebrate the life of their late father/father-in-law Peter Harrison. ⬇️

Sand Martins peppering the precious Northumbrian dunes with their frantic activity last week. On every beach walk, their chattering was a constant pleasure. #birds!

Back to birds…and a 3 tern lineup at @rspb.bsky.social Coquet Island on Tuesday. Those Roseate Terns really glow!! #birds!

I keep Bluesky for my bird stuff, but if any of you lovely folk live in E. Yorks or Hull…my illustration work has taken an unexpected turn with this 6ft tall rat sculpture for the Mischief Of Rats trail which launched on Saturday. “Rats Ahoy” Is situated on Nelson street. Check out the website!

Downed the pen and pencil and took up Binoculars and Camera for a week in Northumbria.
Grasshopper Warblers were a beautiful feature…though as I can still hear them now I’m home, I am slightly concerned they have done something sinister to my brain!! #birds!

A little (well quite big for me actually) piece of joy from last autumn, as I try to distract myself from incredibly non arty admin, and beat down the desire to pick up my bins and skive off work.

A winter thrush kerfuffle on the East Coast of Yorkshire. #birds #birdart
