The Hog and Puffin
/Sketches from a week as a “Puffin Islands” instructor for the National Audubon Society at Hog Island, Maine (with a trip to Eastern Egg Rock).
Isles of Shoals
/A glimpse into my recent art residency, via Instagram posts. Each post contains multiple images that you can scroll through laterally without leaving this page. (If you do end up on Instagram, look for more sketches under Stories!) Other versions of this art collection can be found on Twitter, on Facebook, and in my gallery-in-progress.
Farewell to Shoals
/Click either tweet below to see a 13-part Twitter thread from my art residency on the Isles of Shoals in the Gulf of Maine. More posts on Instagram, Facebook, and my art gallery.
Bonus tweet that I forgot to put in the thread!
Talk talk talk
/It was an alarmingly verbose week, with (a) an interview and (b) a sketching workshop during National Geographic Storytellers Summit, not to mention (c) an unrelated lecture for NYC Audubon. The interview is below.
And here’s the sketching session. For some reason the stream skipped right over the most important sketching tip (BE MESSY). Also, I feel obliged to clarify that tubenose seabirds like albatrosses, shearwaters, and storm-petrels are not all in the same taxonomic family; they are in the same order (PROCELLARIIFORMES).
Now, back to my customary limit of 10 words per day.
What’s in the bucket?
/Answer! Juvenile salmon, a.k.a. parr (the stage between fry and smolt).
