[Art] Mrs Gould's Sunbird, Oriental Dollarbird and Rainbow Bee Eater

The animal teacher illustrations continue apace.

I don't know if I'm burnt out, I'm certainly depressed, and my mental health hasn't been that great. But I don't think it's terribly surprising given things in Western Australia right now (experiencing our first ever Covid peak).

I'm hoping to be able to open the Etsy store some time by the end of the month.

[Art in Progress] Persian Onager, Asian Golden Cat and the Ruby-Eyed Green Pit Viper

I've written 2000 words today on Falling Falling Stars, and managed to make a decent breakfast (smoked salmon on wholemeal crackers, with capers, which I made up a song about that goes: 'Looks like peas but taste like the salty briny berries of sataaaannnnnn').

Listening to Manchester Orchestra and about to go lie down. Sleep has been strange and fickle lately. Today though, I feel a bit more alive than usual.
