Wrapping up #BirdArtWeek2025 with #UrbanBirds 🐦 I had to draw a pair of pigeons for this one. I think they're adorable birds, even though they're often overlooked. They have a fascinating history as well 🪶

#BirdArtWeek2025 is long past, but I still wanted to complete the challenge. Here's an Anna's hummingbird for #PollenOnTheWing 🌷🪶
Thank you @cornellbirds and @thepaperark for hosting!

New print alert! Of the drawings I created during #birdartweek2025, this little oriole made it to my website. i.e. he's available for your walls, OR on the couch, the kitchen, the game room. Because art everywhere spreads joy. And, we need more of that, for reals. #birdlove #oriole #birbs

Slowly making my way through #BirdArtWeek2025 even though it ended last week 😅 Here's a lesser goldfinch for #SpectactularSongs. These guys have been showing up regularly at my birdfeeder. I love hearing their raspy chatters and chirps.

Airport #snowyowl - Day 6, #urbanbirds #birdart #birdartweek2025 #birdartweek #birds @cornellbirds.bsky.social
Finishing off #BirdArtWeek2025 with some of my favorite digital drawings of finches--people very kindly allowed me to draw their pets last year.
Last day of #BirdArtWeek2025 at Cornell Labs. So much wonderful artwork, and I loved being with my people during this awful week. From my series on predator vs prey, in wrestling poster format: Pigeon vs Raisin Bread

Day 4 of #BirdArtWeek2025! The theme was #AquaticAvians 🪶🌊 I chose to draw the giant petrel. We saw a bunch in Antarctica and Patagonia. They are very impressive birds and remind me of dinosaurs.

I think it’s so magical that birds navigate with the aid of the stars #birdartweek2025 #moonlitmigrators @cornellbirds #indigobunting
I’m always way too late on these but had to make a quickish illustration of one of my favorite aquatic avians the American Dipper #birdartweek2025 #aquaticavians @cornellbirds #americandipper
Something more experimental for #BirdArtWeek2025

I wanted to make this little crooner golden and dramatic. So i draw him with a blue pastel pencil as it would look in a photo negative and inverted the image/paper in Ps :)) swipe for original drawing that got 🍏 i-ed

Playing catch up, but here's my entry for Day 3 of #BirdArtWeek2025! The theme is #HilariousAsFlock. I love bitterns. They are the most ridiculous birds🪶. I really want to see one in real life, but their camouflage is just too dang good 🫥

Forgot to post yesterday, so here’s something silly for #BirdArtWeek2025
I always make silly little bird cards for family members’ birthdays 🖊️

Over on IG, @birdsoftheworld.bsky.social is running #BirdArtWeek2025 - really loved the idea of Moonlit Migrators so had a go at combining one of my coloured pencil drawings with some digital illustration! #birds 🪶

Sanderlings getting excited about what the tide brought in (and me getting over-excited about what some new Manga drawing pens can do).

Squeezing in a quick sketch for Day 2 of #BirdArtWeek2025! Today's theme was #MoonlitMigrators🪶 In 2022, a bar-tailed godwit set the record for the longest non-stop flight, travelling over 8,000 miles from Alaska to Tasmania in 11 days. Mind-blowing 🤯

Day 2 of #birdartweek2025: #MoonlitMigrators. I didn't follow the prompt exactly since great egrets tend to migrate during the daytime, but I just really loved the contrast of the white against the black background. Colored pencil and gouache on a wood panel.

#MoonlitMigrators
Keeping up in real time with the daily challenges and adding animation means there’s less time to fuss over them. Blame it on the moonlight.
It's #BirdArtWeek2025! Today's theme is #SketchThatBird 🐦🪶 I decided to sketch the mourning doves I saw in my yard this week. Sometimes I catch them napping along my garden wall. I love that they feel comfy and safe enough to take a snooze in my garden ☺️
