Two years of my patreon monthly plants combined - from September 2019 to August 2021. Looking at these together is an amazing reminder of all the wonderful support and enthusiasm my patreon supporters give me. So, anyone who’s ever supported me on patreon (or my shop!) - you helped me get here. Thank you so much for being apart of this plant filled journey, I’m extremely thankful and couldn’t have done it without you!
Here’s a full page, some spot illustrations and backgrounds, and the final layout plan I did for Popshot Magazine, last winter.
Advent, by @ariannareiche, is the story of a young child’s daunting experience participating in a traditional Joseph Steiner school pagan ritual. Candles set in apples are placed one by one in a spiral, until the room is slowly lit up by the flames. The story explains the event better…
The Victoria Crowned Pigeon resides in the swampy forests of New Guinea. Crowned pigeons are the largest pigeons in the world. They are particularly fond of figs.
The Guianan cock-of-the-rock for day 5 of my 100 Weird Birds project. These vibrant birds live in the forested cliffs of northeastern South America. Their favorite food is papaya.
This disgruntled pink robin is for day 4 of my 100 weird birds. The pink robin is native to Southeastern Australia. It consumes spiders, caterpillars, and beetles.
The Inca Tern for day 3 of 100 Weird Birds! These coastal birds can be found along the cliffs of Chile and Peru. Both male and female birds grow dashing white mustaches.
For Day 2 of my 100 Weird Birds, I picked the Western Parotia. It is a bird-of-paradise found only in the mountains of Vogelkop Indonesia and the Wandammen Peninsula of Western New Guinea. In courtship displays, the male performs a ballerina-like dance while displaying his bright feathers on his chest.
My first weird bird of my 100 Weird Birds project is the African Hoopoe. The Hoopoe consumes small insects, frogs, and berries. It was considered a sacred animal in Ancient Egypt. It is the national bird of Israel.
