as a lifelong internet addict it is remarkable how much the past nine months have compelled me to log off

Drew this for fun (okay and eventually for work, if someone wants it) a couple weeks ago.

Sometimes it's the small ones that are the most fun!
(and I have to check on myself regularly to avoid overworking them 😂)

sad to report that not creating anything for several months at a time is actually exactly what art needs sometimes, and that's why my art suffers deeply when forced into capitalist commercial frameworks lmao

just a quick reminder that AI art is theft, produces a lot of pollution, and undermines one of humanity's best qualities

So are any of these tattoos done by humans without crediting them or is it all AI garbage?

Iris from my flash (plus a dragonfly by request from my client).

Only doing nature scenes recently but I'm not complaining! 💛

Some new flash for smaller gaps that can be changed into other sorts of stones as well. I just liked the colors 🥲

‘Half the tree of life’: ecologists’ horror as nature reserves are emptied of insects

A new point in history has been reached, entomologists say, as climate-led species’ collapse moves up the food chain even in supposedly protected regions free of pesticides

Some quick doodleing in between.

Odd enough that each time I try out some new pencils/brushes/pens I sketch an eye first as it comes easiest to me somehow (and usually has an immediate effect & expression).

Peony flower that I worked on recently.

Always love some black and grey between the color explosions that usually include using a gazillion towels 😂

The difference just 4 years can make when land is released from overgrazing.

Nothing was planted here: all these native trees, wildflowers, etc, came naturally, along with loads of butterflies, birds, + other animal life.

THIS is how we reverse nature loss. #Rewilding 🌍

And while we're still at it (and before I'll likely continue with the tattoos):
this was probably one of my closest encounters with botanical painting.

A maranta study from some five years ago mostly painted with acrylic inks 🌿

Quick watercolor study.

Haven't touched anything water-soluble in ages, so it went kinda okayish 🫠

Hope I can find the time to do more of these!
