Sometimes my favorite pieces aren’t the bestsellers. This brown butterfly print is one of my personal favorites, but not picked up often. Other artists and makers out there: does this happen with your work too??
.
I’ll have this print and many others this Sunday at @swarthmore_makers_market . It looks like it will be a beautiful fall day! I’ll be there with @charlotteryansweb . Stop by and say hi!

Say hello to this Realm of Kingfishers!
.
I’ve never seen so many belted kingfishers together, so there’s a little bit of artistic license taken here.
.
Have you seen kingfishers near you?

Prints are available, check out the link in my bio.

I feel like everyone is ready for the fall here in Philly! The air is getting a little cooler.

Which fall animal sticks out to you in the reel?

I’m back from the shore!

It was great to spend lots of time outside, and see lots of birds (like pelicans!).

Where have you spent time outside this summer??

Happy August!
I’ve made a lot of progress in these kingfishers this week. I’ve only seen belted kingfishers in pairs or alone, so this party comes from my imagination.
.
There are a few collective nouns for a group of kingfishers, but I’m not sure which one I should pick to name this piece.
Which do you think sounds the best:
💛 a crown
🧡a concentration
💚a realm

I’ve been drawing on the beach this week!
Can you tell what kind of birds these are before I paint them?
I think it’s really hard! But some of you are great guessers and birders!

This Siege of Herons illustration is finally done!

This Siege of Herons illustration is finally done!! I made a group of great blue herons hanging with a green heron. Green herons look like muppets to me!

Where have you seen herons this summer?

Prints are available of these herons and my other collective noun bird illustration. Link in the bio!

I’m still working on these herons, but here’s a little peek at today’s progress!

Hopefully it will be a print by the end of next week! 🤞

Did you know that Eye of the Tiger was the number one song in the US on the day I was born? 🥊🥊
When @artstarphilly said that they’d be putting some of my stickers and stationery in the Rocky shop, I knew I had to do something special!
.
This Raccoon Balboa (or Raccoon Creed… he wears the same shorts) is available as a card or a sticker. Makes you just feel that Philly spirit, doesn’t it?

I’m still working on my bird collective noun illustrations. The collective noun for a group of herons is a siege… watch out! Here’s a peek at my heron illustration so far.
.
I included a green heron up front too because they are adorable!
.
It’s perfect weather this week to take a walk outside and maybe see some real life herons. I love spotting them at @johnheinznwr . Where have you spotted herons this spring?

Who’s ready for the summer? 🙋🏻‍♀️
One of my favorite summer things is go in g down the shore and seeing horseshoe crabs and other critters! What are you looking forward to this summer?

I’ll have this horseshoe crab print with me Sunday at @clovermarket Bryn Mawr. I’ll be there with @charlotteryansweb and her cute crocheted cacti 🌵

Stop by @gleanerscafe to see some of my original art! Get yourself an iced coffee and painkiller (egg and cheese with spicy ketchup) on an everything bagel too!

Whew! Hot weather finally came to Philly!
Does that water bottle you’re carrying around need a little sprucing up? Time for stickers!!
My stickers are water resistant and can be run through the dishwasher… perfect for water bottles. Which one would you choose?
.
I’ll have plenty with me at @swarthmore_makers_market with @charlotteryansweb this coming Sunday!
.
This batch can be found at @artstarphilly ☀️

It never really feels like spring to me until the catbirds come back. I saw my first one last week! Have you spotted any?
.
I’ll be at @westcraftfest this Saturday with @charlotteryansweb . I think this chickadee and blossom poster was the first one I drew for West Craft Fest! Love that it is “new” again!
