“Follow the rainbow to my door….” The male Satin Bowerbird, an Australian species endemic to the rainforests of the East Coast regions of the mainland and Tasmania, constructs an intricate ‘bower’ on which to display, dance and attract a mate. All bowerbird species do this, however the Satin variety has a penchant for indigo blue and collects all kinds of objects in various shades of this colour to decorate the bower with. The male Satin bowerbird’s plumage has an iridescent sheen in this colour, and the female, whilst having spotted beige plumage, has a striking eye colour in this same indigo shade as well. Male bowerbirds spend an extraordinary amount of effort and time adorning their bowers, arranging and re-arranging objects around it’s entrance as seen in the above photo examples.

- I Dream of Sleep -

my first illustration series!

Sleep is a part of my life that I either have a whole lot of or have none at all of. Which is weird given how many important biological and emotional processes take place while we sleep; functions like healing, getting some space, remembering and organizing all your thoughts, etc.

In this series, I picked out some of the processes that occur when we sleep that really stuck out to me, and illustrated them using imagery from plants and herbs related to each one. Originally painted in watercolor and gouache paint, then digitally retouched with text implemented, I hope you enjoy looking at these as much as I enjoyed painting them :)

Thanks for looking!
