It's World Turtle Day!!! To celebrate my favorite animals I made this little illustration and a process video along with it.

Here's a piece directly inspired by a really beautiful shot from this documentary:

Here's a recent commission that I did! A naturalist working at a nature center contacted me about planning displays for their turtle exhibits, and obviously I am 200% down for drawing turtles because they're my favorite animal. Where I live I never actually see true eastern box turtles, the three-toed subspecies is more common here. Being paid to draw a turtle for an actual nature center is like a dream come true. The plan for this piece is to have it printed on a wood panel and have the scutes (sections of the shell) laser cut into puzzle pieces so it's an interactive display! So cool! I also made a coloring page version for them to print for their guests. The nature center is in another state so I may have to make a little trip someday just to see it.

I sell stickers now!!! I currently have 6 designs, inspired by some silly medieval etchings, and I'm really proud of them. They're all 2" in size and made of weatherproof vinyl. Perfect for decorating your water bottle, sketchbook, planner, electronics… anything you want to put a sticker on!

They're also each only $2.50 and shipping is free :)
