Happy Valentines Day here are some lovers.
A watercolor painting in rich jewel tones. It depicts a sandhill crane troubadour and a saluki knight. 'The Lovers' from Matthew Spencer's in-progress deck The Courtly Beasts Tarot. Two male swans hold eachother in a secret embrace, surrounded by reeds and candles. A watercolor painting depicting a gay wedding between an anthropomorphic boar knight, and an anthropomorphic bull farrier. Both animal-men have strong builds and the boar's fur is tinged with grey. They are exchanging cups (akin to the Two of Cups tarot card) and above them is an architectural border with a rainbow banner. Two watercolor paintings beside each other. One, a whitetail deer in medieval garb, smelling a green carnation. He stands among reeds and tall water plants, with Corkscrew Willow branches winding in and out of his still velevety antlers above his head. The other, an anthropomorphic black bear in monks robes, doing a gay little illumination of him and his secret deer bf having a clandestine meeting in the woods. The illustration is bordered by medieval-style vines in a rainbow gradient arching above him.

It snowed enough to sculpt a fat little tyrannosaurus today!

🌘 "Starchild" 🌟
Commission for @franzanth.bsky.social & at last another of my Golden Orbits.
Digital artwork of a dragon head caterpillar (Polyura schreiber) with the many dots on its horned head and chubby body rendered to resemble little stars, a few actually being tiny four-pointed stars. Above its head a partially eclipsed moon is framed between its inner horns, and large four-pointed stars rest on the center of its upper head and hang on either side of its head between its outer horns. More stylized rays and stars radiate out into the edges of the image, rich textured gold against a dark blue framing the green bug's body. The caterpillar is outlined in metallic gold and has fairly realistic face details and feet. Art by Moth Monarch.

A different kind of post. My wife Lezlie is a pen and ink artist. She drew over one of my images of a night heron. I was blown away. I'm trying to get her to submit it to a juried exhibition here in our city. I think they would love it. #art #penandink #ink #inkdrawing #sketch #lineart #inksketch

Bees 🐝
This art features 100 bees of various colors and shapes. These bees are designed in a cartoonish style, based on real species. The common name or species is written below the animals. Some bees are moving leaves, scraping plant hair, or sticking out their tongues. Some male bees have hairy faces and unusually shaped legs. There are also baby bees that have just hatched from their petal nests. Cute and colorful atmosphere. There are over 20,000 species of bees, so I only depicted a very small fraction of them!

A Brown Creeper spiraling his/her way upward. These birds prefer to forage for insects on trees with rough bark.

This little cutie is called a Jovial Jumping Spider!
(Apricia jovialis)
#spiders #invertebrates
Macro photograph of a small jumping spider standing on a wooden board. The photo is at a relatively low angle with the spider's two big front eyes looking past the viewer's left shoulder. The spider is black with short red legs, fluffy white pedipalps, and a black and yellow banded abdomen that looks almost bee-ish from this angle.

Definitely seems like they destroyed the country on purpose.

Female #kakapo Kohengi on her three eggs on Pukenui/Anchor Island today. We don't yet know if they're fertile, but will investigate soon. So far fertility on Anchor is very high: only 8 infertile out of 33 checked. We expect many more infertile eggs though. #kakapo2026 #conservation #birds
