Hi everyone! Recently I had the chance to work on an illustration that will be the cover art for a poem collection called “Pluto” written by Frankie Sims.
Working on this piece was both fun and challenging due to a tight deadline and an abundance of ideas to choose from (and I’m a really indecisive person! 😆) Although the author knew what emotions they would like to portray through the cover illustration, I was given the artistic freedom to come up with my own suggestions for how it could be translated into art. Many sketches and drafts later we ended up with the picture that you can see above! ☺️🫶
I had the chance to already read a few poems that will be included in this collection and I’m looking forward to reading them all once “Pluto” is published. Please check out Frankie’s instagram account for more details and updates on the book! 👇
Went to a different woods today, not far away, and saw some good birds.
This is a rufus-sided or eastern towhee, a recently returned migrant. They dig in the leaves with both feet. I let the video go on for a few seconds because at the end it makes the sound that got it its name.
For Earth Day, we’re inviting you to take a moment to celebrate our wonderful water world, Earth. As far as we know, our Blue Marble is the only place in the universe with life, and that life depends on water. Snap a photo of yourself outside and tag it #GlobalSelfie – bonus points if your selfie features your favorite body of water! http://go.nasa.gov/3xFt0H0
