What if that lower left creature is a new baban hir

You got this!

Two acrylic paintings on mixed media white paper with orange, purple, and white color. On the left side it details vaguely human and creature shaped objects while the right gives textured abstract blocks.

Gin: Back from a little break! Still need to finish uploading January's work + February's. Here's a dual piece of paint pressing. I like how humanoid the shapes turned out on the left.

A black and white photograph taken at Longleat safari park showing three monkeys huddles together in a sweet family moment. An adult male monkey sits with his arm protecting the baby monkey that he is looking down at. Beside him a female adult monkey extends her arm in front of the baby monkey while the baby monkeys tiny hand gribs her forearm. The baby looks towards the mother and is safe surrounded by it's parents on either side. Text on screen reads: Animinimal Photography

One of my all time favourite photos. A family of monkeys at Longleat Safari Park. They looked so adorable in this little moment.

A photograph of a happy looking dragonfly taken with a macro lens. The dragonfly is yellow and red with some blue in the wings and is sitting on a metal bar coated in black paint but with patches flaked away revealing rust beneath. The background is a lush green gradient going from bright to dark left to right.

Just a happy little friend saying hello! I don't see dragonflies often so was super excited to find one in the garden!

I miss ghost investigations so much 😭 I only did it for a little bit back in 2011 but walking around haunted places in the dark by myself taking photos was just the BEST.
Had some spooky stuff happen here too and in the room with the first picture a heavy stool fell over by itself 👀1/2

I'm so surprised it turned out that way I really think it looks like the sanguine moth.

A black and white photo of a dimly lit room with furniture scattered within. Chairs line the walls to the left and back of the room while a small wooden table sits slightly off centre in the middle with two chairs and a large wooden stool around it. The room is lit entirely from a small window in far corner of the left hand wall. The atmosphere is very ominous and foreboading with the stark contrast created by the black and white processing. Text on screen reads: Animinimal Photography.

A black and white photo of a brightly lit ornate window framed by the darkness of the interior of the room. The walls and most of the floor are hidden in the darkness with just a small patch directly beneath the window illuminated to show a bare wooden floor and a single plastic chair. The chair is also almost entirely hidden in darkness save for the edge along the top and a small section of the front outlined by the light from the window. Text on screen reads: Animinimal Photography.

A dark balcony overlooking a brightly lit and ornate stairwell reminiscent of a church or stately manor. We are looking out from that balcony shrouded in complete darkness with the stone carved railings contrasted against the light beyond. The stairwell is large with huge archways that cast deep shadows on the other side of the stairs. The entire thing is ornately carved from stone. Text on screen reads: Animinimal Photography

A black and white photograph of a spooky looking stone staircase flanked by two large carved stone pillars. The stairs and handrails are all made of carved stone with the rough textures becoming very prominent thanks to the contrast of the black and white image. The centre of the stairs is lined with a dark carpet that is almost entirely black in the image. The foreground is lit up brightly by a direct flash and the light fades rapidly as you ascend the stairs until the top of the image is bathed in complete darkness. The only thing visible at the top of the stairs is the white wooden panel of a boarded up doorway that stands out ominously with a strange grainy texture against the black backdrop.

Something spooky for Friday the 13th! A series of photographs from when I did a ghost investigation at Margam Castle, Port Talbo, Wales. We had some strange stuff happen while there!

Two traditional paintings on mixed media white paper. The left is framed in the shape of a rectangle with two different shades for red and black. The painting's lines detail silhouettes in black of what seems to be trees with the focus panning up to the sky in red. The right has no particular frame but is a paint relief of the painting on the left by pressing the paper down onto the leftover red and black paint on the surface that created a vaguely moth shaped blob with several white space silhouettes that resemble human shapes.

Gin: Surprise it's one of our favorite days and we both have something special for y'all. A little abstract-like painting of a horror forest scene.

You spoil me!! Thank you. <3

A traditional painting on mixed media white paper. It is framed in a rectangle with shades of blue to light white blue and darker blues in between with white foam splashing hard against the tan brown sand of the shore. In the distance is shadows of dolphins.

Gin: I think one of my favorite things is to draw / paint oceans or whatever consists in them. Oceans are cool.

We rarely get snow here but a few years back I got to watch a friends huskies experience their first proper snow day. It was magical.

A traditional painting on mixed media white paper. It is framed in a rectangle with primarily white, yellow, light grey and dark grey paint to form shadows and light. The greys and white surround the yellow like a clouded or snowy blanket.

Gin: I liked this one. I thought I was painting clouds covering up the sun but Bumble sees mountains and forests.

A color photograph of an abandoned truck reclaimed by nature. The photo details rusted metal as green foliage tears through the front and side of the truck. The windows are down so spiders and other bugs could make their homes in them. Decaying seats and steering wheel is shown. Text on screen reads Animinimal photography.

Abandoned truck up on a hill in Swansea reclaimed by nature. I wonder if it's still there?

You're gonna get MORE of that soon!!

A traditional painting on mixed media white paper. It is framed in a rectangle with four individual white space lines to make a sort of window like visage to the painting. The painting itself is a color gradient of pink to blue to orange of a setting sky overhead with black shadows dotting the blue and orange landscape to perhaps make a forest or mountain scape. White flecks of paint is dotted across the canvas.

Gin: What do you see? A forest or a mountain? I wasn't sure honestly as I painted as I am with most of these.

The allergic reaction was worth it for this.

A traditional painting on mixed media white paper. It is framed in a rectangle but only uses black and white paint to depict the night sky. Blobs of white paint fleck against the black chalkboard paint akin to stars dotting the sky.

Gin: Experimenting with chalkboard paint. Turns out - I'm allergic to what's in it! Still made a cool night sky.

A vibrant color photo labeled Animinimal Photogrogy. It features a sunny, lightly clouded day, with a portrait orientation of Saint-Tropez. Green shrubbery tries to hide the iconic orange-rust colored tops of its buildings with the clock tower just off center. A deep blue sea sits just by it with ships passing in the harbor and a coastline and green hills off in the distance.

This was taken on a business trip in Saint-Tropez, France back in 2015. Very laid back atmosphere and pretty.

I'm glad you love it so much. We're expanding the baban series slowly with it!!

A traditional painting on mixed media white paper. It is framed in a rectangle but with four distinct colors: Blue, Red, Yellow, and Orange that are merged together with white brush strokes to create this ethereal and biblical visage. If you look at it upside down it may loo like this billowing tree with this roots and branches.

A press print of the previous painting. The extra paint from the pressing created this biblical looking visage of a figure (baby) carrying a tree on its back. Upside down it looks like a billowing visage almost like a frightening tree like angel in a pinkish white skin tone.

Gin: Today's painting was definitely something. Either way you flipped the canvas it turned out to be this brand new cryptid.

We've named it the baban coeden (tree baby).

I think that's where my mind went to and it ended up being HORSE. Bumble thought (upside down) it looked like a whale and I can see that too.

It was fun trying out how to paint the swirls. Still was using a regular paintbrush for this at the time too!!

A traditional painting on mixed media white paper. It is framed in the shape of a rectangle with an expression of black, white and red colors painted together in swirls to create an illusion of a majestic horse with a large billowing tail.

Gin: Today's painting keeps up with an abstract form of swirls but also something to celebrate the upcoming lunar new year with.
