We have all kinds of squirrels in Minneapolis:
Our grey squirrels come in white, black and brown, in addition to grey.

There's also flying squirrels, 13 lined ground squirrels, and yes, red squirrels.

8 Dala-ish horses.

Which is your favorite?

(Also perfect for #chinesenewyear because it's the year of the fire horse)

Better late then never, plus I couldn’t resist this prompt - DALA HORSE with #jehanesgoldenthread2026- Scandi Style.
My illustration of Dala Horses looks quite timely with Valentines around the corner.

My entry for the #jehanesgoldenthread -GO WILD challenge this week. I learned a lot about the variety of animals that lives around and in the Zambezi River. It was hard to choose as the choice was unlimited. Created in #procreat

A cat with vivid green eyes walks through a riot of colourful flowers under the light of a crescent moon. Stars twinkle above in the dark sky.

Inspired by Jehane's Go Wild prompt Cat Lover 🐱 over on Instagram.

A lemur looks vaguely startled as it stands on branch surrounded by leaves.

Made an attempt at Jehane's Golden Thread Go Wild prompt of Lemur over on Instagram. Turns out they’re oddly difficult to draw. The colour of those eyes though!

Digital illustration of a cheetah in bold quick brush strokes, the background shows an impression of a landscape in orange, pink and purple hues.
