- I’ve really been enjoying turning some of my photographs into illustrations! What do you think of this killdeer? #birdnerd #birds #illustration #wildlife #birding #digitalart #florida
- New design alert: Golden-crowned kinglet! 👑✨ Because sometimes your side quest is spending 20 minutes watching a tiny bird the size of a ping pong ball hop through pine branches, and that's valid. For fellow bird nerds: sidequesters.etsy.com #birding #birdwatching #BirdNerd #SideQuest

- Day 4 of #inktober (murky). I wasn’t sure exactly where I wanted to go but I kept thinking of swamps and decided to try get a layered look with various hatching methods. How did it turn out? #inktober2025 #swamp #depth #artchallenge #ink #lineart
- Check out this T-shirt I made based on a very cute chickadee! sidequesters.etsy.com/listing/4381... I saw this chickadee in my backyard and I loved the way the light was hitting it! #birds #birdnerd #natureisbeautiful #tshirt #wildlife
- Day 3 (crown) #inktober2025. Not a theme I was particularly excited about, but I’m happy with the result. #inktober #ink #crown #art
- Beautiful Florida Scrub-Jay! These guys are fun and often love posing for photos! #birds #birdnerd #natureisbeautiful #florida #photography
- My creation for #inktober day 2 (weave). I went with the idea of a wizard weaving spells together. How did it turn out? #inktober2025 #ink #art #illustration #magic #dnd #rpg
- Day 1 of #inktober (mustache)! Trying to push myself a bit with some illustrations. #inktober2025 #illustration #art #dnd
