The Right Doll this time!
Rewatching this made me laugh, I’d forgotten the editing I did in this video. I love how Peregrine ended up looking, but wow was the process a massive pain
My friend John Baumlin is an absolutely incredible artist (and person!). His work has appeared in many publications, galleries, and museums and I think it should appear here as well. He tells me he’s working on a website, but doesn’t have one yet, so I can’t link you to him directly.
John is a naturalist to the core, and his work reflects his passion for and understanding of nature and it’s various denizens. Having the chance to watch his paintings come to life (I was able to see “Wake Up Running” in various stages as he worked on it) has been an honor, and I can tell you that no photograph can do his work justice! (Though I think this is true of any original artwork.)
Until you have the chance to see his work in person, I hope this post, featuring a select few of his pieces, will do!
In order:
“Wake Up Running” 24" x 36" oil on linen
“Big Cat Messages” 20" x 20" oil/linen
“Lion Skull” watercolor, 14" x 18"
“Daydreamer” 14" x 11" oil on board
Interpretation of Shere Khan12" x 9" oil
“Harris Hawk and Saguaro” 18"x24" oil

“Behind me, not whispering, but low, his voice spills down my collar… and I’m not prepared for it, not braced, not ready for the unshaven fall of it, for the red ivy crawl of it down my spine. I am wet wood thrown in the flames when he says my name. I am taken apart by his tone, I am smoking all over, I want to be split open by that voice, I want to be bent over and driven in that fire.”— Peregrine

I’m in the middle of finishing my Masters thesis but aiming to get super back into art once its all done at the end of September :)

ALTLearning Chinese painting and I wanted to commission a chop. My mom has a Chinese name but I don’t, and my phonetic name matches with certain characters but has no particular meaning, so I used my web name instead! If anyone’s curious it’s 游隼视力 yòusǔn shìlì (peregrine [falcon] vision)
I wanted to do a page that looked like it could be the first or last page. It’s a concertina notebook, so it can be viewed left to right or right to left. MozArt Komorebi watercolours with Chinese brushes and Pentel extra fine brush pen. Seal from SindiJoyiArts on Etsy.
Thoughts on the peregrine, my favourite animal. The vellum flap is decorated with a shrunk photocopy of a greeting card. The cloud drawing and peregrine underneath the flap are stickers I made of my drawings. Wing Sung italic pen, stamps, and collage in #onionskinjournal by @curious.goods
