It's for any website it breaks the visual coding (css) but much of the building blocks (html and images) will be there for retrieval. See if you have a backup option in SquareSpace to save to a local disk.
Day 21 - Greater Rhea

Water color and color pencil

20 years ago a pair of Rheas escaped a private zoo in Germany. There's now a population of nearly 600 feral Rheas.

You should save the whole website to your local computer. That way you can re deploy/build if it gets unusable.
South Korea and London are also out for #NOKINGS
South Koreans held their government accountable earlier this year. And now they’re protesting for American’s rights and democracy on No Kings too!

Thank you South Korea! #NoKings ❌👑

2025 feels like that late-stage game of monopoly where you just go round and round paying rent and utilities forever and nobody knows what the rules are anymore and everyone’s just waiting for it all to end except the one player who cheated and has all the money
Day 14 -- Roseate Spoonbill

Wasn't in studio today so this is part sketch and partially digital color added in Adobe Fresco.

Seen together they are A BOWL OF SPOONBILLS!

Day 11 — Oriental Dotterel

Experimenting again with watercolor and colored pencils. Straying from the comfort zone.

Day 12– Hummingbird or as I say humming friend

It may be due to doing this everyday, I find this getting much easier to click into the zone.

Day 11 — Budgies

I love these birds. They are so pro-social it made sense to put two in the sketch. Another really fun one to do.

We have a downy woodpecker opening the aperture of our wren box!!!

Day 10 — Turkey Vulture

Graphite drawing. Actually have a social life today. I mostly got done, you can see incomplete feathering.

This is a stunning piece. I imagine you are feeling proud of it.

I FUCKEN FINISHED!!! As always, it took me 2 months, but I got there in the end.
Day 9 — Bat Falcon

Graphite form study. Not much time today so I just did a sketch of the form that I can come back to and create finished work later.

Day 8 -- burrowing owl

Graphite study. Another fun one. The white spots aren’t quite sharp enough but the eraser couldn’t get too fine.

The pro AI argument is that AI greatness will raise everyone's life to a better standard. Looking at capitalist society in the US. What philanthropy from the hyper-rich is giving homes to the houseless, addiction recovery to addicts, and health services to the sick right now? Would it change? How?

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.
Day 7 -- Anhinga

This cormorant type bird is new to me. It had a lot going on and I ran out of time. Someday I will throw more energy into finishing the details and a dark backdrop behind the head to let it stand out.

Wish I'd had better light for this pic, this custom gryphon turned out really neat! He's based on a male house sparrow.
