ok so, I approached my local library with a proposal to donate a mural as a way to A: build portfolio/gain practical experience and B: give back to a beloved public institution. The director was very enthusiastic about it and i've been working on it since the beginning of March. Come with me as I endeavor to paint what is in all honesty an excessive amount of birds

I wanted the birds to look like they were actually in the space so first thing after doing the draft was to do a lighting study

after that I covered the walls in letters in lieu of a projector/vr headset bc i have neither of those :) Then i take a picture of the section of wall and superimpose the lineart over top of it so I can pencil in the lines

et voila

and that was a whole week on it's own so next comes the paintin' >:)

nattousan

and now, the birds

Birds 1 and 2/14: Red Winged Blackbird, Male and female, Agelaius phoeniceus

nattousan

Bird 3/14, American Robin, Turdus migratorius

nattousan

hoo boy, ok *out of breath*

GIVE IT UP FOR BIRD NUMBUH 5, THE CANADIAN GOOSE, Branta canadensis!!!!

this guy took me about 4 days to completely finish, all of those freakingk coverts were a bear to render

nattousan

speaking of obnoxious coverts:

bird 5/14, Bluejay, Cyanocitta cristata

the friggin stripes almost got me chat, i may not make it

nattousan

Madam....

nattousan

birds 6 and 7: American Goldfinch, Spinus tristis, male and female

pleasantly simple to paint! next is the flickerrrrr

nattousan

*melts into goo*

BIRD NUMBER 8, (yellow shafted) NORTHERN FLICKERRRRR, Colaptes auratus

genuinely made me start questioning my sanity around day 3, it's half the size the of the goose, WHY did it take me 4 days to finish??

nothing but pain and suffering, i'm sure hope the next bird will be much easier and with FAR less barring :)

nattousan

in other news, I am losing my mind hairline

nattousan

SHE'S DONE!!

Bird number 9: Red-tailed hawk, Buteo jamaicensis

my chains are broken i am FREE. although i did have a great deal of fun with this, the barring on the wings itself took me like four days and i am READY to move on

this was a week and a half of continuous work so please excuse me for getting a little emotional in the bg 🙏

nattousan

*does a little jig*

BIRD NUMBER 10!!! The Male Mallard Duck, Anas platyrhynchos

the male and female ones are gonna be posted separately bc they're taking a lot longer lol but yea! super happy i was able to capture the iridescent green of the head, i found metallic green and blue paint at a craft store that really made his head POP. it looks better in person i promise

ALSO!! As this is the 10th one, BIG announcement. The end is in sight!!!!! I plan to finish within the next 3 weeks and there will be a small dedication ceremony/ unveiling happening at the library to commemorate its completion on the 16th of May. If you live in the Western New York region and want to check it out for yourself shoot me a dm!

Also thank you everyone for your kind words and support throughout this whole process, it's been a genuine treat thinking there are potentially thousands of you out there cheering me on while I paint this 🥹

nattousan

aaaand another one bites the duck,

we're movin right along with bird numero 11!! The lady Mallard!! Anas platyrhyncos

the 16th is looming in the distance so i'm trying to get thru these as quickly as i can so i can have as much time for the GBH as possible. i still need to do the names next to all of them so i've got about a week and a half to finish everything which is GREAT because i have adhd and nothing gets my ass in gear like a fuckin deadline, let me tell you

nattousan

power couple that they are, here's bird number 12 and 13,

the Northern Cardinals, Cardinalis cardinalis

and NOW that they are complete, ITS GO TIME, in the next five days (library's closed for mother's day 😭😭) i need to have the GBH fully rendered, the names of the birds vectored, weeded, masked, applied to the wall, and then painted, plus additional cattails throughout. I may be able to get away with just getting the GBH done in time for the unveiling and then just have the names and cattails added later, but i'm gonna really try to get it all done in time. BUT, i have a plan. Part of why i take so long on these is because i really am just figuring it out as I do it lmao. there have been many a time where i am sitting on top of the ladder googling "how to paint birds" but I think if i take the time tomorro to do all that figuring out how to approach it beforehand, this will go a lot faster. I may also recruit some of my artist friends to help with the placing of the names... hrmm we'll see.

Anyways, shout out to the librarian who tracked down exactly the thing i needed so i could figure out where to place the highlights in my birds eyes, ur the real mvp

nattousan

thanks for the reminder, kid

nattousan

at long last, we've reached the end...

Bird number 14 out of 14,

The Great blue heron, Ardea herodius

thank you to everyone who reached out or got excited about this project, it genuinely gave me the fuel i needed to keep going. In total, the 480+ total hrs it took me to cover this wall pales in comparison to how long its expected to spend on there, hopefully imparting a sense of beauty and love for the natural world to the next generation and here's hoping i'm only getting started with these.

i'll see y'all soon :')

I’ve loved this and watching the wall grow and the birds come to life

So I was watching my Discord for a club I was in scroll past and someone referred to a website as a 'webbed site' and my brain just came up with this

someone send help my humor is broken

#shitpost #random #cryptid #why

That feeling when u r drunk and your own self-insert/daydream makes u sob like a baby into your pillow

#tw vent #self insert #drunkposting

Trying to post more often. I don’t think it’s working. But hey, even with low spoons, the Tumblr do be tumbling

#random #idk #tumblr is my diary

Not me getting drunk and having very serious conversations with my roommate comparing the films Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

#we discussed which kid deserved it #and which wonka was better #as well as the soundtracks #she thinks veruka salt had it coming most #I say it was Mike TV #also we agree the Oompa Loompa songs were fire in the second #but the first Willy Wonka was more whimsical

When you wake up from a nightmare at 4:20am, water is the most delicious thing you’ve ever tasted, and your eyes are both incredibly heavy with the need to sleep but also unable to stay closed as you toss and turn trying and failing to get comfortable

Yayyyyyyy

they can't die god won't let them

I’m gonna be honest, I have no idea how this boop thing works. How to give boops, how to receive boops, anything to do with boops. Boops are a complete mystery to me. Perhaps the boop community could explain to me how this new boop game works?

get creatured idiot

cupsofjade-deactivated20250509

oh thank fuck i thought i was never gonna get creatured

Why do we keep making new nonsense words so quickly?

I only just figured out blorbo and scrunkly but now there’s rizz? What is rizz?? I still don’t entirely know the difference between scrunkly and scrimblo and now we have rizz??? Please, people, we need to stop creating new words without providing any definition. They’re coming too fast and leaving too soon and my autistic/anxiety brain CANNOT KEEP UP WITH IT.

illiterate ,useful idiot, communist doesn't understand anything for DC COMIC and I'm trying to say that she harley quinn ,quinzel for bisexual for bisexuality just for dating MASON MACABRE,deadshot and RICK FLAG, and not that stupid shit , totalitarianism , misandry , and pro-feminist against men and humanity with eco-terrorist ,PAMELA ISLEY, and understood you scoundrel communist ,the bisexuality now ?

It has been years since this was sent to me and I STILL do not understand what this means.
