Higher res, time lapse video, and drawing stage snapshots are up on my Patreon!

Be more like a wagtail, dance like nobodies watching and screw evolutionary stable strategies!

Take a leaf from the most successful and widely distributed wild land mammal on the planet. Sometimes, the most productive thing you can do is relax! Snapped this guy in my garden on a warm spring afternoon, he was relaxed, my dog on the other hand… Was stressed out watching him.

Today marks the Vernal Equinox or first day of Spring. It also marks the first day of a new series for Gone into Rapture, called Nature’s Call. Nature’s Call is a comic series that will be inspired by life that I have personally photographed, with the aim of giving it a voice. To start us off, here’s a remake of an oldie.

For the record, an Otter’s faeces are called a spraint, and their above ground resting place is called a couch. You can see this one I photographed chillin’ on it above. He’s just missing a few beers!
