I’m a day late for the #BirdWhisperer this month with this pretty fella! He’s a green Turaco or Guinea Turaco, and they are indigenous to west and central Africa. They enjoy eating fruit like these papayas. Please visit the @BirdWhisperer Project to see the reference photo and all of the other art for this month! Anyone can play along! Please tag the BirdWhisperer Project page so we can see your lovely artwork, and use the #BirdWhisperer tag. We love to spread the love of birds! . . . . . . #greenturaco #guineaturaco #bird #birdstagram #instaart #artistsoninstagram #artistontumblr #artistontwitter #animalart #acrylicart #painting #fauna #nature #natureart #papaya

Printing and filling out my COA’s while listening to podcast by @ranouttafriends (which you should check out) this morning, then later Star Wars. This project has been super fun, and I can’t wait to share the whole thing with everyone! . . . . . . . . . . #artlife #coa #certificateofauthenticity #ranouttafriends #ranouttafriendspodcast #embossing #signing #professionalshit #artistsoninstagram #artistontumblr #artistontwitter #artistonfacebook #artistonflickr #starwars #starwarsthelastjedi

Decided to check out this #2017bestnine thing, and I was pleasantly surprised. A lot of my ink drawings, my mermaids, and even a Bird Whisperers picture made the cut! . . . . . . . #birdwhisperer #mermaids #mermaid #penandink #acrylicpainting @rabiestheraccoon #instaart #artistsoninstagram #artistontumblr #artistontwitter #artistonfacebook #fantasyart #fantasyartist #bestnine

This Monday has definitely been pretty crappy, but getting this in the mail cheered me up! It’s even more lovely than I imagined. This was a kickstarter campaign I backed from artist, Kiri Østergaard Leonard, called Year of the Unicorn. Her artwork is so fun, and if you haven’t checked it out, you should.

Sing the mantra of my people: “Must finish lace before lunch!” A #wip of a larger piece I can’t wait to be able to share!

Here’s another holiday deer sketch! This one’s singing in some holiday cheer with their tiny elf friend. It’s best if we let them take it from here. My singing voice is less like a choir of angels, and more like a bag of cats. . . . . #deercember #badapples12days #christmascarol #caroling #deer #elf #holidaycheer #christmas #deercember2017 #holiday #fauna #animalart #sing #choir #sketch #blackandwhite #graphite #pencildrawing #pencil #holidayart #waartist #artsagram #instaart #artistsoninstagram #artistontwitter #artistonfacebook #artistontumblr #artistonflickr

A quick #deercember sketch this evening. I’ve always loved how graceful they looked. After the rough day I had today, could definitely use some grace.
