Ok finished birds & rabbit, let wildflowers grow, then thought: "corner's empty". So in lieu of birds, added a spider who's just finished eating and going to rest. Not sure if I over did it πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ oh well! I think I'll call this series *Urbs Circumdata In Horto* ‡️ #invertebrates #Arachtober

I brought the painting back out to work on it and finish it. I decided to include a couple little barn swallows flying through the prairie above the wildflowers. πŸͺΆ #SciArt #BirdArt #Animalllustration #WildlifeIllustration

I'm in the middle of painting a scene from Chicago's bird sanctuary in #acrylics #WIP with a 🐝 on a 🌻. I'm looking through my photos and deciding on birds. Chicagoans: What #Chicago birds should I include?

I came randomly across an image of an African Gemsbok (Oryx) and sketched it, not knowing that it's now a resident of several SW states (NM | TX) and can be hunted because of uncontrolled population! I had no idea this was happening!!! 🀯

Accidental Macro Monday Photography! I took a pic of the flower and there was a tiny spider that I didn't see until after I got home to check my photos! Also, I took pics of some other flowers and there seemed to be a Varroa destructor on one. Does anyone know if it is, in fact, a bee mite? #SciArt

It's a Glass Octopus (Vitreledonella richardi), one of my fave cephalopods. They're rare, live in the deep ocean and are spectacular. I decided to sketch one! It's done by hand in blue mechanical pencil lead and Koo-i-Noor colored pencils, a q tip & alcohol! #WorldOctopusDay #GlassOctopus

Chicago: Bike the Drive and other concepts for cyclists & pedestrians all began in Colombia in the 1970s. In BogotΓ‘ we do this every Sunday! It's called CiclovΓ­a and I wish we did this in Chicago every Sunday during sunny months. #BikeTheDrive #Chicago #BogotΓ‘ #Colombia #OpenStreets

I don't do quizzes, but as a polyglot I couldn't resist. Grew up in Chicago, lived over a decade in Orlando and almost a decade in Tokyo hanging out with Brits, then back again to Chicago. Coupled with film buffery & tv buffoonery and apparently I'm very Chicago and half Southern Cali.

It started off as Utah (??) then NV. Suddenly LA and San Francisco burned red for a while and it showed 1.LA, 2.SanFran, 3.Chi (stayed there until 3 questions I skipped til the end: El (L) for the train, "the city" means Chicago & the curds question). After answering the 3, Milwaukee became #1 lol :

There was a very tiny spider πŸ•·οΈ eating a very tiny flying bug πŸͺ² on one of my windows. They couldn't have been more than two or three centimeters in length. I couldn't focus on them, so I drew them instead 🎨 Process video πŸŽ₯ below πŸ‘‡

A #dragonfly in the process of eating an #insect. I heard him crunching it up. The final two shows him looking around for another meal. Watching him hunt is happiness for me. 🐞 #invertebrate
