What I've been up to...

Hanging with the #abstractexpressionists, on the way to see the #surrealists.

Booker is going to help me write my first picture book! 😄 He says my ideas are good, but they need fewer emotional support roles and more squirrel action. #kidlit #picturebook #emotionalsupportdog

Happy #SalamanderSaturday! #salamanders #ambystoma #amphibians #animalsdoingyoga #sciart #kidlitart #illustration #coloredpencil

Finally getting around to sorting and scanning the pages called "the making of Salamander Sky." #characterdevelopment #sketchbook #colorpalette #kidlitart #picturebook #SalamanderSky @katyfarber @greenwriterspress

Flightless #cormorant chicks growing up on Fernandina - I first saw them exactly 2 weeks earlier (see adjacent photo for comparison), and now they were starting to resemble their parents! This is a vulnerable species, with only about 900 individuals inhabiting this island and the western side of neighboring Isabella. #inktober #pittartistpen #inkwash #Galápagos #GalápagosWildlife #illustration #birds #ornithology

I observed this pair of Nazca boobies on the remote island of Genovesa. The male brought at least seven "gifts" for the female, each one more beautiful (or useful) than the last: twigs, pebbles, twisty bits of plants. He gathered them from within a few feet of the nest, carried them with his big feet lifted, and presented them gently and with sincerity to his mate. She was a tough one to impress! This species is known for having the most brilliantly white plumage of all #birds (with very dark tails and wing tips, not visible here). So for the #illustration I used #pittartistpen in the background areas, leaving the birds paper-white. Colors on their bills were made with #inkwash. #GalápagosWildlife #Galápagos #inktober #ornithology
