#mothernature
The honey bee was one of the first domesticated insects and it is the only insect that produces food eaten by man. . Honey bees are vital pollinators; Because of its wide cultivation, this species is the single most important pollinator for agriculture, globally. . The European Honey Bee (Apis mellifera) is not native to the Americas — only arriving, aboard European ships, around 1622. . Honey bees have 6 legs, 2 compound eyes made up of thousands of tiny lenses (one on each side of the head), 3 simple eyes on the top of the head, 2 pairs of wings, a nectar pouch, and a stomach. . Honey bees have 170 odorant receptors. Their sense of smell is so precise that they can differentiate hundreds of different floral varieties and tell whether a flower carried pollen or nectar from metres away. . The honey bee’s wings stroke incredibly fast, about 200 beats per second, creating their famous, distinctive buzz. A honey bee can fly for up to six miles, and as fast as 15 miles per hour. . The average worker bee produces about 1/12th teaspoon of honey in her lifetime. . A hive of bees will fly 90,000 miles, the equivalent of three orbits around the earth to collect 1 kg of honey. . It takes one ounce of honey to fuel a bee’s flight around the world. . A honey bee visits 50 to 100 flowers during a collection trip. . While honeybees are awesome, let’s remember that they are not the only bees that need protecting! There are thousands of other bee species that are vital to our ecosystems, many of which specialize in pollinating native flora that cannot otherwise be pollinated by any other bee species. . The specimens used in my work were collected from a beekeeper after they’ve passed away. The bees push their dead out of the hive and they are collected so I can use them for my art. .

Welcome the new year with open minds and open hearts. There is always much to learn from the past that we can carry to the future but only pack the essentials, if you cant carry your luggage you’ll miss your train.

Quan Yin Goddess of mercy from my 2016 inktober series of goddesses across the work
So many of you requested this be restocked in my shop so she will be back in November!
Goddesses books have been long sold out and won’t be reprinted until I am able to work on more from that series and make a hardcover. Future plans but definite plans!

✨It’s that time of year again!!✨
I unfortunately will be too busy finishing my Sea to Sky book to be able to take part in any new inky adventures this year, BUT my goal is to post past inktober pieces daily! Including things I’ve made out of them :)
This is my Virgo constellation piece from #lyfeink18 and my Galaxy Girls book. It’s been so fun reimagining her two years later in line art form for Sea to Sky I love how the silver foil prints of her turned out!! These will all be back when my shop reopens in November.
If you are doing a drawing challenge this month, I wish you the best of luck and can’t wait to see on my feed what amazing projects come from it!

This holiday season we are celebrating by sharing some organizations we are passionate about and our initiatives to promote them.
For Day 11 we are shining light on @cooleffect_:
From our blog post from April 1st, 2019:
“BOY MEETS GIRL® has always been at the forefront of impact fashion and using its label to support global issues. Founder and Creative Director, Stacy Igel, uses her platform to collaborate with activists and organizations across the social good sector, and Cool Effect aligns with BOY MEETS GIRL®’s desire to save the planet in an actionable and approachable way. BOY MEETS GIRL® has created a limited-edition t-shirt design inspired by Cool Effect’s mission to fight climate change and cut carbon emissions. With the phrase “THOU SHALT STAY COOL” featured on the front, Cool Effect and BOY MEETS GIRL® are making a bold statement to bring an important conversation forward and encourage action leading up to and following Earth Day on April 22. The collaboration has been captured by fashion photographer Sophie Elgort and shares the stories of four New York-based environmental activists who are passionate about taking action and making an impact on the planet for future generations. The stories will be featured on BOY MEETS GIRL®’s blog & social channels. The activists include Nicolette Templier, Miss Brooklyn Earth 2018; Reza Cristian, Founder of SUSTAIN Magazine; Alyssa Hardy, Senior Fashion Editor at COOLS; and Sarah Slutsky, Creative Director of Shiffon Co. and Stylist at The Wall Group.”

Mother nature is a bit fed up with all of us. This was such fun to paint. I managed to use every shade of my metallic watercolours for the sun.
