Day 8 of @birbfest.challenge: Andean Cock-of-the-Rock
I went rebel on this one & painted a female instead of the insanely bright orange male. I find over time I have a deeper love for the subtler colours of the gal birbs.... she still has a better haircut than me!

Really big fan of pictures of horses and such at this angle. Big old horse butt. Very sheepish expression. #animals #nature #cute #horses

I finished a set of educational American Eel models! I had to trim the full length video for it to fit on instagram and bluesky. But this is the most of it! #SciArt #Educational #3Dprinting 🐡

A red-legged seriema caught in the middle of his characteristic kuap-kuap-kuap song at dawn, often performed over extended periods of time or in duets

#birbfest #birbfest2026 #BirdArt #SciArt
Drawing of a red-legged seriema on a brown sandy ground, head raised to the skies and beak wide open to let the world hear his song The bird is tessellated into triangles so that no two adjacent areas are coloured in the same hues.

A quick portrait sketch of a Red-Legged Seriema for #birbfest... this bird was much too tall for me to tackle the whole thing 😂

#BirbFest2026
Digital drawing of the head and upper neck of a Red-Legged Seriema in profile facing left. The bird has a salmon-pink curved beak, a gray eye surrounded by light bluish skin and a fan of delicate upright feathers along the top of its head. Its feathers are generally a light cream with speckles of dark brown. There is a pattern behind the bird that suggests tall green grasses.

It’s cold and I’ve been on my belly for hours with my Nikon and wide-angle lens hoping to catch an emperor fly like missile from the sea.

Although I can barely feel my fingers, I couldn’t be happier. My heart is singing and I can’t help but smile.

Another digital art i've made in the past, for some reason, the image is not in its best quality in Blue Sky, but that's fine.
