15 days in of October Bats brings us Noack’s Roundleaf Bat! This squashy McSquashiface uses magical echolocation to pick up the fluttering wing motion of moths-whether flying or perched. You hear that?!

Caves and crevices in the wet lowland in Central Africa is this snuggglebugs’ ’hood.

I have decided to do a drawing a day of a different bat species the entire month.

First off we have the Tri-colored Big-eared Bat. Hailing from Mexico, Central and South America. Loves insects but sometimes fruit. Prefers a cozy day in caves and hollow trees. Spooky forest is preferred. #bats #art

About to frame these 4x6 water color marker buggers.

-Going to Tybee for one last hurrah before the school year starts. Planning on 🏄‍♂️ the 🌊 on the longboard. Got me thinking about all the wonderful wildlife out there in the sea… #sharks

My son and I are in the pool and I told him to beware of pool sharks. They will hunt you down and take huge bite out of your wallet.

I’ll see myself out…

SPRINKLES! The hunt begins! These stickers are hot off the press and ready for you. 5 bones gets you one of these bad boys. Matte vinyl can sure take hit from anything thrown at it (otherworldly or not) Hit me up to grab one. #art #stickers #donuts #predator #80s

Bold, kinetic, and luminous—Wing Rhythm captures a barn owl mid-flight, rendered in thick, expressive brushstrokes, and radiant neon accents. The owl’s wings stretch through textured fields of deep black, creating a sense of motion frozen in time. 4/9 #art #blueskyartshow #artyear #owl #animalart

We netted an eastern small-footed last night! (The feet are indeed tiny 🤣)
Only the second one found in Alabama so far. 🦇 #bats #volunteer

Rhythm is Everywhere. Night flight, electric quiet.
This glowing barn owl emerged from a place between boldness and mystery—painted in thick strokes, wild color, and intuition.
