Night Migration
Oil, 30x20in, 2024
at @ixarts.bsky.social Art Show next month!

In our night sky there is a dark band that runs through the Milky Way, known as the Great Rift. This darkness is where the stars of our galaxy are obscured by vast clouds of interstellar dust and geese … er, gas.

Monday morning martin 🎨🐡🦉

Male Purple Martin, private commission. Look at him go! Gotta fly fast!

A Purple Martin seen in flight, mid-turn as he swoops toward the right side of the image. Sunlight illuminates his wings with a warm tint which contrasts against the bright steely blue-purple of his body.

Black Friday? Black Sicklebill! This is one of the cards in the #boardgame Birdwatcher. These strange birds have long spoon-shaped feathers hanging off their shoulders which are *not* the wings - these can be folded to convert the bird into his strange display shape 🎨🪶🐡 see reply for video!

Illustration of a Black Sicklebill, a large black bird of paradise with a reflective turquoise patch on his back, red eyes, and a very long tail. The strangest feature are the wide rounded feathers that cascade past his shoulders, for use in display, but here they are folded in a resting position.

That might be the single most difficult angle to draw wings from and you nailed it!

Original artwork available. 🙏

The piece is cropped closer than originally envisioned, and is the better for it. I encourage framing it with a mount to the indicated crop marks. ☺️

'Sparrah'
Watercolour on paper, 63 × 60 mm.
£80 + £5 UK or £11 International tracked postage.

Tiny watercolour painting of the head and chest of a male house sparrow; its torso faces the viewer while its head is turned towards the right. The piece is photographed with a brush and a penny, which is roughly three-quarters the size of the sparrow's head. The painting is effectively life size.

I could sing, woke up to a 58 degree cloudy morning after 4 days of 80s and 90s baking me alive in my apartment.

Bring on the chill and drizzle!

August is historically one of my worst months for sales and it is even worse this year. I just put my Fern Fox planters up for preorder. My big Mossback planters are often imitated but you can get the real thing from me in full detail. Sales, shares and tips appreciated. 💜

It’s my birthday! 🥳 Level 45 attained. 40’s are awesome and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

I would love if you could share my art. I have a lot of cool things in my shop if you’d like to support me. Or you can send me a gift through the link below.

Just finished up this trio of trinkets for classic scholarly gryphon. You can #commission me on Ko-Fi for tails, paws, and portraits. I have discounts on combo packages too. This is an inexpensive way to get a custom piece from me.

I just have one and she is simultaneously the best and worst bird in the house. I love her but would never recommend anyone get one, unless they like insanity.
