Quick little fanihi sketch, just because they're too dang cute. We see lots of these around Rota where they're thankfully still fairly abundant and serve well in their fruit-eating, seed-dispersing role on the island. (Mariana Fruit Bat, Pteropus marianus) 🎨🐑🌏

A new study published in Current Biology, "Oceanic #Seabirds Chase Tropical Cyclones," reveals that the rare Desertas Petrels (Pterodroma deserta), exhibit unique foraging behaviours during hurricane season, chasing rather than avoiding tropical cyclones.

Philippine Collared-Dove (Streptopelia dusumieri). Declining in their home range (Philippines), but quite common in villages of the Northern Mariana Islands where they were introduced sometime in the 1700s. Now considered naturalized, they're charming & sort of goofy with their hoarse calls 🎨πŸͺΆπŸ‘🌎

Yesterday I had a scare. I'd lost the original layered PSD file for this piece (click/tap to embiggify). Turned out the file was compressed along with everything else into an archive of the 2018 art show it debuted. So everything's fine. Whew.

Inprnt is all right, but it doesn't have all the fun printing options that redbubble and society 6 had. Since moving to inprnt myself I've really missed being able to print things like t-shirts, pillows, and other silly stuff. Just a heads up in case that's a factor!

Any good alternatives to redbubble ? They've reclassified my account for no reason - I have regular sales and all my designs are original. Little bit outraged after the hundreds of sales I've made on there.

Before I head back to Rota, I will be on Saipan for a few days. Canario here (Golden White-eye) is an endangered species found only on Saipan and Aguijan, though it probably was also on Tinian and Rota in the past. Their thrush-like habits and songs are very unlike most other white-eyes. 🎨πŸͺΆπŸ‘🌏

I needed to double check snake related deaths per year in North America and the AI right at the top all colorful and purple said 5000 deaths. I KNOW that isn't true. But there is no reason someone else should. Ppl will take the shortest path to an answer, especially if it looks correct.

So there's AI in portfolio day posts... just wow. If any of y'all ACTUAL artists (or anyone else for that matter) want to get rid of it quickly, I made a little list that already has a bunch of these very high IQ individuals on it. I'll be adding most that dare post in portfolio day. Fuck AI ✌️
