Have you ever seen a pink grasshopper? Though the meadow grasshopper (Chorthippus parallelus) is typically distinguished by its green and brown coloration, a genetic mutation called erythrism leaves some individuals looking pretty in pink! Erythrism is the overproduction of red pigment. While these rare insects are beautiful to look at, pink grasshoppers are hindered by their vivid coloring because it makes hiding from predators much more difficult.

Playing around with something a bit more fanciful with this painting. The inspiration came from thinking about how cute it would be if there were tiny horses roaming wild.

Recently I’ve been getting into animation so here is a little something that I created :)
Please excuse the terrible quality! (.. although the distressed look is kinda a vibe?! 🤔😉)

Drew like a bright, alternate Kirby anime version of Wii Moomoo Meadows haha. Just a glimpse in my whimsical reality. A full stare into my different perspective would make one simply go to Dreamland.
