I'm an artist and sometimes illustrator living in Portland Oregon. I like to make marks on surfaces, often resulting in images of animals including homo sapiens and their environment. (That's a fancy way of saying I like to draw/paint any & everything.) ;)
Bighorn Sheep - Oil Pastels & Carbon Black Ink - 7"x7" on cotton paper.
Been a long time since I'd used oil pastels, but they're still just as fun (and messy) as I remember.
Thank you to @animalphotorefs.bsky.social for the reference photo!

I think I like the BW version better but am not so sure. I think I maybe did too much rendering with the watercolor and should have kept it flat washes?

I was locking up my bike at the grocery store when I spotted this jumping spider with a large fly.
I think it's a bold jumping spider but am not sure so if anyone can ID this spider please let me know!
Not the best photo since I was using my phone... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Just wait for a film adaptation and watch a video comparing the movie to the book, like any normal person would.

Familiar Bluet Damselfly
They are fairly common where I'm at, but that doesn't make them any less interesting.
Once had one perch on my knee and use it as a landing pad from which to take off, catch gnats mid-flight, and then return to eat them. 😎

I've been lucky enough to see some of Ivan's works and they are even more impressive and introspective in person.
Brutally honest paintings about the human condition that you want to turn away from but just can't.

Today we remember renowned American painter Ivan Albright on his birthday. Known for his intricate, emotional artwork. Remember to explore his work! #IvanAlbright (fot. Wikipedia)

Rough-skinned Newt - Oregon coastal range near Astoria.
One of the highlights of my trip was seeing this little newt. Very cute, but also a bit on the toxic side.

One of my favorite Minnesota paintings.
This is my home and it’s absolutely beautiful. I met my wife here and we’ve happily raised our kids in Minneapolis. It’s a beautiful city and I’ve never been prouder of my friends and neighbors than right now.
I love you Minnesota.
