My paintings so far for Birbfest which is being held on Instagram this year! I started on day 8 and will do my best to keep going through the month. I'll likely catch up on birds once I'm through the rest of the list! I've been giving myself a time limit of 2 hours for painting. The Andean Cock-of-the-Rock took 1 hour and 30 minutes, the Indian Paradise Flycatcher took 2 hours and the American Purple Gallinule took 2 hours! I've been using different brushes throughout my painting to find interesting textures it's been fun!

All year, we've been watching mallards swim and hang around the moat near the center of town and I've fallen in love with them. They're wonderful.

Figured I needed some more whimsy in my life so I painted one of the mallards wearing a bottle cap hat and wielding a Lego great sword! Prints are available through my INPRNT here: https://www.inprnt.com/gallery/scragglebird/whimsical-warrior/

A lot going on right now, life is chaotic and my mental health is taking a hit. I'm feeling rather burnt out. So I'm giving a lot of thought towards what sort of artwork I want to be doing rather than taking on every single project that comes my way. This may mean a change in what commissions I offer. I've become known for certain types of work simply because it was the only work I've been able to get. But I need to take a step back and try to rekindle that spark of passion that got me drawing in the first place. So for now I am doing my best to just doodle every day. Taking time to experience other mediums and trying to stay away from PC.

Commission: That Explains the Crumbs

Security cam footage in Redclaw's museum captured these two strange creatures arguing about waffles. Explains the crumbs found in Red's office! A commission for Momo_History729 who wanted security cam footage of them in their beast form dragging Redclaw's furby form around the museum for stealing their waffles!

Sometimes you just gotta doodle something cute and small to keep sane! Happy Pride Month!
