video: a day in the life of a cicada

Here’s a quick look into the life of a Cicada. It’s actually a video I created that is only about a minute long. Did you know… not only do cicadas make a lot of noise, the bugs are on a mission when they emerge!

No bugs were killed during filming; my turtle ate a bug that fell on the ground and was it already dead. Note: Annual green cicadas are out now, but the orange cicada featured in this video is from the Brood X.

Check out my super short video on the Cicada.

Thank you for watching everybody!

cartoon: salmon (part 5 of 6)

Our salmon has another near brush with danger.
Will he make it to his destination?

I wasn’t sure whether to include this moment in Salmon’s life, but I wanted to be as candid as possible. Sorry. I don’t want to be a downer. I just want to share awareness and the importance of sustainablility on our precious planet. The Monterey Bay Aquarium has a very good chart, detailing which kinds of fish are threatened and which fish are okay to harvest.

This is the first in a small series I’m working on, which follows the challenging life of a Salmon fish, taken in ‘snapshots’. Stay tuned for more as I add to the cartoon in the coming days.

Happy Easter everybody!

blue crab (remastered)

This is the latest version of my watercolor of the blue crab. I am glad with how it turned out. And guess what. The print is available in my little store . They will be selling like hot Crab Cakes. So get your print today while supplies last!

illustration: blue crab

I’ve painted this crab species before, though the creative process feels fresh because it’s been over a year ago and I use a different crabbie for reference. Plus, this particular Blue Crab is displaying a wonderful spectrum of colors which is a pleasure for me to do in watercolor.
