And now for something completely different; my card, the two of earth for Umbral Wings - a collaborative dragon themed tarot deck!

I had a fantastic time painting this and channeling the inner childhood dream, I am still a dragon kid at heart. If you like dragons, tarot, or want a collection of fantastic original art from over 70 different artists please consider checking out the kickstarter!

It's got 10 days left and we're onto awesome stretch goals!

PSA: we need to save the bali myna

today i got really mad out of nowhere about this and decided that if nobody is going to talk about these birds and their conservation, i will. the bali myna is a small bird found only in bali. they are critically endangered -  fewer than 100 adults exist in the wild. (and there’s around 1000 in captivity) the biggest threat towards the bali myna is likely its demand in the captive bird trade - they can fetch extremely high prices on the black market.’

plus, they look like this

so how can you help?

donate to bali safari marine park - currently maintaining a captive gene pool of bali mynas + boosting their population

donate to begawan foundation -  breeding and releasing bali mynas, and educating local communities on these birds

educate others on responsible pet purchases + avoid feeding into the pet trade that endangers so many beautiful species.

I started this as a personal project at the beginning of the year so I had something new to put as my header image. It would be perfect since I’m aro/ace, my two favorite animals are gryphons and dragons, and my two favorite colors are green and purple. Then I decided it would be more appropriate to wait ‘til June to post it, which gave me enough time to mess around and experiment with it a little before finishing it. Then it hit me “hey, I can sell these as designs while I’m at it!” And so as of today they are available at redbubble.com/people/thegryphon in my new Pride collection, which I’m hoping to add more stuff to this month (if I have time)!

The watermarks on the faces are just to prevent art theft and are not features on the designs in my shop.
