Art inspired by biology, created by a biologist
Both Tamaryn and I participated in this year’s Art All Night, as we do every year. She entered her three feather drawings/paintings with a mahogany frame by me, and I entered my wooden intarsia Star Wars piece, “Jabba’s Palace“.
Digital painting created in Procreate on an iPad Air, based on a photograph I took of its namesake at the National Aviary.
This was a little Great Horned Owl sketch, intentionally small (4×4″), quick, and low-detail, made to occupy me while watching the VP debate.
Original is SOLD
This is “Wookie,” a Linneaus’s Two-Toed Sloth that lives at the National Aviary in Pittsburgh, PA. If you’ve been there, you’ve probably seen him chilling with the toucans.
It’s a 10″x8″ drawing made with Gioconda Pastel Pencils.
See a timelapse of its creation below.

This is a recent pet portrait of a beautiful departed Akita named “Darwin.” See the timelapse of it’s creation below.
