Occasionally we get tiny Goldcrests in the garden, hunting for insects amongst the evergreens. They’re resident in Britain, but some Goldcrests cross the North Sea to escape the harsher continental winters; people used to believe they rode on the backs of migrating Woodcocks. (watercolour)

My gyrfalcon for January's #BirdWhisperer. Those feathers were a challenge! I started thinking of them as more like a mosaic than anything. #painting #art #bird

My first painting of the new year ✨ I washed over some of the feathers with Wearingeul's 'The Raven" but I think the paper ate the glitter #art #watercolor #painting

so many of the small indignities of daily life come from us being denied the ability to tell a rich man in a tech company to fuck off. minesweeper has microtransactions. paid services have ads. the opt out says maybe later. the drive thru is a broken chatbot. your car is an ipad. fuck off! fuck off!

I finally have an aquarium again! It's only 19l so I'm thinking of just stocking with some neocaridina. I ordered the wood online so it was a gamble, but they picked some really nice pieces. The bottom one looks like a sleeping dragon imo :) #aquarium #fishtank

A painting of a grey wolf in the snow, which was inspired on the feeling of the cold Norwegian winters, with the wolf adding to the warmth of the scene. 🙂

So much stress has been happening recently that this is the first thing I've drawn in a couple of months. This was supposed to be more in my head, but I'm happy with him as he is.
