One of those transgenders infiltrating your restrooms.
I make art for field biologists, birders, nerds, and other forest dwellers and cryptids. Mostly focusing on the ecosystems within NY state.

Go show some invert love! Just submitted one of my crabs 🦀

Bats! NY has both tree bats (up top) which migrate south for the winter, and cave bats (bottom) that hibernate during the winters. All NY bats are insectivorous 🐛🦇

On a related note- line art for Herons of NY is done! Now to start the color...
