What a good excuse to draw a canine

In the background is an ethereal silhouette of an aggressive wolf, running and snarling. There is text: “My concerns were held true” “I have claws now”

My idiot son
Photo of the head and neck of a brown llama, stood in a green field with trees covered in autumn leaves around. The llama is looking at the viewer/photographer, his ears back and big eyes making him look very round and babyish.

If I was going to learn a language for fun, I think I'd want to learn Finnish.

Happy World Jellyfish Day!

Cassiopea sp. - Upside-down jellyfish

These guys are such fascinating lil buggers and have the endearing vibes of something halfway between a fish and a plant.

One of my favourites!
Digital illustration with a human figure viewed from the side, dramatically leaping/falling downwards and to the right. They are wearing black and blue, with a kitsune mask and short-medium brown hair blowing behind them. The background is textured orange, and bright blue flames streak off of their body. Text says "Origins : Soul Wisp"

Me trying to act normal around birds
Alan Carr stands in a dimly lit stone room, cloaked in deep green and trying (but failing) to suppress a laugh. His hands cover his mouth, eyes crinkled with delight as he giggles uncontrollably, shoulders shaking with the effort of staying composed. There’s a bubbling sense of excitement he’s desperately trying to hide. It’s giving: just seen a Kingfisher.

More shifts at work.
Pro: More money
Con: More work

(But here's one of the cute guys there. He's a pro too.)
Photo of a llama, looking at the viewer and leaning in close to look. He is varing shades of brown. In the background you can see trees, grass, wooden structures and some ponies.

Collage of 4 photos. The first shows a transparent sticker with an illustration of a hummingbird with moon themed accents in white ink, stuck on a bamboo pot. The second shows 3 bookmarks, each with a different design with a patterned gradient background and a white outline of an animal with moon details. The third shows a small black notebook with a transparent sticker with an outline of a cat with moon details in white ink on. The last shows portions of two small art prints and one large art print, nestled amongst cardboard.

This painting is in a weird space between 'I'm really happy with the colours and how they depict the goldfish'. But also 'I'm just never happy with how it looks when scanned/photographed'.

Painted in 2022, Watercolour and gouache
#art #watercolour #houache #painting #goldfish #fish #natureart
Photo of a painting on A4 paper depicting two fancy goldfish, painted in gouache, with a textured blue watercolour background. One fish is mostly white with red-orange splotches, whilst the other is mostly red-orange with white markings and black speckles and a small oranda wen. The gouache has been used in a way to imply the shading of individual scales and give the painting texture. In the background are fake vines on wood grain.

Photo of 4 stickers, faint white lines can be seen showing a goldfish, fox, cat and barn owl with moon and star patterns in them. Photo of the fox sticker from the previous photo, removed from it's backing and attached to a metallic water bottle. It is now visible that the sticker is transparent with delicate white lines making the silhouette of a fox, with a white moon and other white details.

The biggest challenge of my sneaky paintings of friends' pets-

The only photos I see of this guy are of him splayed out on his back, and being a mostly black cat, was a challenge to depict!

#art #painting #watercolour #petportrait #cat
Photo of an A5 watercolour painting of a cat in shades of blue and purple, with drips and splatters of paint, and black and white ink for details. The cat is lay on his back, eyes closed and looking content, in one of those unusual twisted poses that only cats can enjoy.
