Aw crap, I said I would finally make an "intro" post when I passed 500 people.

Hi, I'm Sam! I'm a freelance illustrator and Communications Manager for a local arts organization. I draw a lot of nature stuff and used to do a lot of surface pattern design, chances are you've seen my stuff somewhere.

This fall I have enjoyed many golden moments with northern wildlife. #birds #mammals
Yellow-rumped Warbler, Northern FLicker, Red Fox, Ring-necked Ducks

A yellow-rumped warbler perches on a wild rose plant with a golden backdrop of fall colours.

A northern flicker perches on a wolf willow plant with a golden backdrop of fall colours.

A red fox stands amid grasses with a golden backdrop of fall colours.

A small flock of ring-necked ducks swim on a calm wetland that reflects golden leaves.

I'm just like a large language model in that I've read everything on the internet and it's made me effectively useless

Sometimes I go to bed and think, "Wow, I can't wait until it's night again tomorrow (today)."

Sketchbook page with cute drawings of ducks, done in mixed media. The top drawing shows two ducks sitting under a bush, and the bottom drawing is two ducks without a background, surrounded by doodles of plant stems and scribbly flowers.

Hello, friendos! I’ve been spending all of my fuckin’ money on the necessities of life and ending up with nothing left for equally necessary retail therapy.

If you’re in need of a Christmas/Krampus/Kwanza/Festivus illustration, please consider your ol’ buddy Al.

A thousand thank yous!

Tammi, yeah, that one. 2.1 @tammi.bsky.social · 2d

I found a 19th century Cat Villain!

A huge chonk of a fluffy cat sitting on a table near an open fire. The cat is cream and grey and appears to be shaped like a barrel in a fur coat. They are scowling fiercely with their moustache and bewhiskered ears apparently flowing back into the cold wind. There's a definite vibe that this villainous cat twirls their moustache as they evict orphans into the aforementioned blizzard and think Scrooge was an easy-going lightweight. They are magnificent.

Overheard this same kid telling himself "There are people who aren't as fast as you. You have to be patient with them." Further evidence that he's a young hero in training.

Minovsky @minovskyarticle.bsky.social · May 21

There's a kid in my neighborhood who is always running. Yesterday I saw him stop, pull out a tiny bound notebook, open to the center and quickly scan the contents with a look of deep contemplation. He tapped the page with the back of his hand, said "Yes. Become stronger," and broke back into a run

Magicians work best late at night, and so do I. Another new one for the Major Arcana of the bird tarot.

Yeah I think you should be a “pickup artist”*

* Pick up a paintbrush and start creating art that is sensitive, vulnerable and reveals your true soul.

Turns out I hadn't added these lovey birds to the Bird Tarot thread yet, so here they are again:
