i’ve been a very bad girl by claire thompson, 2021, yarn & monks cloth, 18 x 22 inches

Seahorse and pipefish (syngnathiformes) painting. I haven’t painted in a year so this was a treat. Many people on Instagram wanted this as a print, so I’ve turned this into the postcard print on Patreon for August! Also posted a podcast there yesterday if anyone is interested in hearing me yap.
I recently am back to solely freelancing (in a much better spot than I was last year) and I am feeling positive, however it’s a great opportunity to support me on Patreon if you’ve ever been interested in seeing what I do there! It is a weird weird world though and don’t feel pressured if you financially aren’t able to. Take care of yourself!

one of my favourite moth finds of all time. Comostola laesaria has a wingspan of only 20mm, so it was truly like finding a tiny gem amongst the nighttime gumleaves.
in the closeup below you can even see tiny little hyaline sections (little bits of transparent scales, in the middle of the larger orange spots).
No common name (Comostola laesaria), April ‘24.
