@rainforestrescueau do integral conservation work that contributes to the success of this species. — The Pied Monarch is endemic to the Wet Tropics of Queensland, Australia. It prefers secondary forests and is considered to occur at low densities throughout its range. Although much of its habitat is protected now, the fragility of the ecosystems it inhabits is a concern. Reforesting land that borders known habitat will eventually lead to larger areas of secondary forests and secure the pied monarch's future. — This is the EXACT type of work that Rainforest Rescue undertakes, and it is for that reason that $5 from each print sale will go directly to Rainforest Rescue and their conservation efforts. — ◾️Limited edition of 50. ◾️ Archival ink on 100% recycled 300gsm matte paper. ◾️Hand-signed & stamped. ◾️A3 (297mm X 420mm). ◾️Shipped in postal tubes. ◾️FREE postage within Australia. $12 to everywhere else. — Go to: www.samuelhumphreys.bigcartel.com OR Click through to the link on the profile page. — #piedmonarch #rainforestrescue #wettropics #birdprint #naturalhistory #illustration #endemic #birds #rainforest (at Wet Tropics World Heritage Area) https://www.instagram.com/p/CIRsQdwlBO9/?igshid=bfu2l62qzy91

Pied Monarch (Arses kaupi). — The pied monarch is endemic to the Wet Tropics of Queensland, Australia. This bird has a small range and is often found on the boundaries of protected rainforests in the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area. It prefers secondary forests and is considered to occur at low densities throughout its range. Although much of its habitat is protected now, the fragility of the ecosystems it inhabits is a concern. Reforesting land that borders known habitat will eventually lead to larger areas of secondary forests and secure the pied monarch's future. — It is illustrated here attending to a nest entangled between two rainforest vines. Its nests are often covered with lichens that are collected during their curious feeding method of hopping vertically up a tree. — ◾️Limited edition of 50. ◾️ Archival ink on 100% recycled 300gsm matte paper. ◾️Hand-signed & stamped. ◾️A3 (297mm X 420mm). ◾️Shipped in postal tubes. ◾️FREE postage within Australia. $12 to everywhere else. — Go to: www.samuelhumphreys.bigcartel.com OR Click through to the link on the profile page. — #piedmonarch #wettropics #birdprint #naturalhistory #illustration #endemic #sustainableart #birds https://www.instagram.com/p/CIB_z2VFAw9/?igshid=1f8yoo0onrxzc

Makes me wonder why I was using digital colour for so much of my artwork in the past. Analog is always best. 💀 🧮🕯 — — — #piedmonarch #birdsofthewettropics #arseskaupi #birdsofaustralia #birds #naturalhistory #illustration #wettropics #birdart https://www.instagram.com/p/CFrSdEiFLNU/?igshid=vttf8rmd381c
