Vantid+Water
The character Vantid drawn in pencil underwater near the surface so that their reflection shimmers above. One paw pushes the thick mane of fur near their face.

Did I pet the deer in Miyajima? You bet I did. They are so chill, nothing phased them, not even school kids dashing past.
An arm reaching into frame to scratch the neck of a sika deer. The scene is lit early morning sunlight. Japanese buildings are in the background.

We visited Miyajima Island, and its profound morning beauty made me tear up.
A deep vermillion torii gate lit by morning sunlight in shimmering water with forested mountains in the background. Vermillion Japanese Buddhist temple buildings in high tide, lit by morning sunlight and forested mountains and blue sky. A vermillion Japanese Buddhist temple, lit by morning sunlight so that the interior glows vibrant orange. Vermillion Japanese Buddhist temple lit by morning sunlight frames a shadow dapple courtyard. A lantern hangs from the eave of the temple.

Half the time I see a large billed crow, it’s got a goodie. This looks like a piece of karaage to me.

Old painting of a phoenix, based on a photo of the back view of a sunning sea eagle doing droopy wings and looking like real bad anatomy.

-This is not the sky-

😢It is really sad to see adorable birds dying because of the reflection on windows, so I made this illustration for some bird protection organizations to propagandize this situation.

Full sketchbook page of studies. Bat wings are so cool, I love the elegance in their shapes.
Pencil drawings of a fox looking at the viewer, a flamingo dragon laying down, flamingo heads and a skull, and a few bats and bat wings.

Happy little bat
Pencil sketch of a happy little bat referenced from a very unhappy bat being held by a wildlife rehabber, thus the missing body parts.

Flamingo dragon color tests. I’m playing with the limited pinks available in the Luminance line of colored pencils. It’s a great exercise!

Does anyone else compulsively say “hrududududu” when a particularly noisome vehicle drives by? Or just me?

"Intertidal", the trapped and mirrored self—the anxious oscillating energies of apathy and panic.
The scene is Split View with a line of churninh water dividing the composition in half. Two wolves, one above water, the other below, appear to be fighting. The face of the wolf above water is hidden, only an ear is visible and the rest of the face is buried in, possibly sinking into, the opposing wolf. The underwater wolf is clearly agitated and struggling against the weight pressing him beneath water, keeping him from lifesaving aid. His teeth flash and eyes flash in a snarl, his features surrounded by frothing bubbles.

All right, everyone can just calm down now! Coyote with a knife is here!
A loose pencil drawing of a coyote anthro wearing loose draping clothes and a satchel, one hand raise in a placating “calm down” gesture, the other hand holds a knife behind at his side. His expression is aggressively exacerbated—ears side ways, brows furrowed, mouth agape with excessive confidence.

One of my first batches of incense had powdered rose petals in the blend. Somehow, pink pigment migrated to the tips of the cones as they cured.

I don’t know how that happened, and I haven’t been able to duplicate it since.
Chunky incense cones with pinkish tips on a sunlit cherry desk. Small gemstones are scattered above the incense.

This is how my husband reacts when I threaten to tickle him.
Two panel comic of a coyote. The top panel coyote is in an assertive stance, head lowered and front paws spread wider than the hind legs. The hackles are raisedc the tail is aloft, and a slight snarling curl to the lips. “RRRRrr Don’t make HUNCHIE SNARL!! I’ll DO it!!!” The lower panel features the coyote in full threat display, scientifically known as the “hunchie snarl”. The back is arched with fur standing on end, tail tucked. the coyotes face is contorted with wall eyes, airplane ears, and an open mouth snarl “WAAUUGH!!”
