Millions of audio recordings of hundreds of bird species have revealed that artificial light is making the birds wake up earlier and go to bed later.

I've been hired by @birdsoftheworld.bsky.social as an illustrator through the Bartels program and I couldn't be more excited to start! This has been a dream of mine for years.

My Turkey vulture has been finished for a while so I am finally sharing that too! 🐡🪶🎨 #BirdArt

Ever get in way over your head with an illustration? Cuz I am with this turkey vulture on a very large piece of watercolor paper 😅

Work in progress! Note to self: buy smaller pieces of paper.

GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. It’s now basically impossible to find accurate art references.

Enter this: a repository of open-access, AI-free images of wild & exotic taxa. Artists creating *without AI* have blanket permission for derivative/transformative use.

Commissioned by a graduate student for their advisor. A fun gift featuring the species they study, and the net matches the equipment they use. 🐡

If you see this post a bird :)
