Started this one yesterday. An Orange Baboon Tarantula with African Violets. Going to color it later. Thinking about sticker designs... #tarantulakeeper #tarantula #colorpencildrawing #penandinkdrawing

@Presby_Bro Absolutely. And be your own advocate medically/ Unfortunately. the medical industry isn't as helpful as it could be.

I just wanted to say thanks to all you guys for all the prayers and everything. I feel like it gave me an extra push when I started thinking about my medical history and what I could be looking at. You guys are amazing!!!

@Presby_Bro Oof. Hoping they figure things out for you soon. Good thoughts headed your way.

I'm on fentanyl waiting for bloodwork and CT scan. It's a good thing I came. They're gonna check my colon too.

My big girl, Mara, shed a few days ago. Explains why she refused food. Still looking beautiful as ever. Happy Friday! #ballpython #snakelover #pets

When tarantulas flash brilliant shades of blue, purple, green, or pink, it’s not due to pigment, it’s physics. Their vivid colors come from microscopic photonic nanostructures on their “hairs” (setae) that bend and scatter light, amplifying blue wavelengths to create a dazzling, structural shimmer with an intensity that pigment alone could never achieve. Here’s an Electric Blue tarantula (Chilobrachys natanacharum) enjoying a mouth full of crickets, with confidence to match that stunning color!

Part of grass tutorial that will be up on YouTube soon. #arttutorial #drawing #art

Still coming off a bad cold with brain fog. Still working on things in the background, but slow going. Here are the turtles for photo tax. #turtles

@XKerry_CX I'd say southwestern. I do have some decent sun around 2-3pm. Thanks.

@AngeladerisoA Do you have southern or southwestern exposure or Western sun from 2-3:00pm? I can help you plan a 5 gallon bucket or 2.🙂

Hey there frens. I got a literal box of seeds I’d be happy to share & am curious: are there others looking to build a garden by trading too 🤔? I’m having to do a lot of container/aboveground gardening & if you need tips, I’ll be glad to share pics/vids & advice. Lemme know🙂

This annoys all the right people.

@rayrayishappy @JamesGrabban Thanks RayRay, I will look into these. :)

stickers i use sticker app - they often have 10-20% off promotions. really easy to use. I've been using zazzle for mugs, great products, margins arent great. started experimenting with fourthwall for wearables. i intend to get a printer to do prints as well... currently researching.

Got some questions for my artist friends here. What platforms have helped you sell and produce more merch (Shopify, Etsy, etc.)? I'm researching mugs, stickers and more, but I'm not sure what avenues to go through, and costs are a concern. Thoughts/ advice ?

11 years ago, the first time I'd ever gotten a good photo of Myron sleeping at night. I love his lightly colored eyelids, and the way he tucks his legs in for the night. #turtles #pets #reptiles

Winged bearded dragons, colored pencil on 9" x 12" sketchbook. This was finished while at a hotel during fumigation of my home. Still need to clean it up in photoshop a bit, but will make great prints, etc. #beardeddragon #beardeddragonlife #beardeddragonlove #coloredpencilart

@Presby_Bro That sucks. Maybe try some gentle foods on the stomach to help heal up for a bit. Take care and rest. :)

Still not feeling great. I tend to to develop ulcers and crazy stomach infections as a complication of ulcerative colitis. Hopefully that's not what's happening now. Probably just watch some Next Generation with my wife and go to bed early. Happy Lord's day everyone!!!

@JamesGrabban Tell her I approve of her choice of subject matter.

I'm not sure what my mother's sudden obsession with bats is, but at this rate she's gonna have more tats than me, bruv.😂😂

I'll be in a hotel for the next two days 'cause my place is being fumigated. Everyone have a great St. Paddy's Day in the meantime. #irish #stpatricksday

More work on the winged beardies. Rankin's Dragon, in the background, was a suggestion from a good friend. #beardeddragon #rankinsdragon #animaldrawing #animalart #coloredpencilart

@basedartdept I've seen this. Unfortunately, a lot of the equipment they've got is pretty close together, so the little guys are caught between feeding and being in the line of fire. Poor cows, but they manage. ^_^

Life comes at you fast
