Hey, everyone! My main excitement of the past week has been a quick visit to Canberra with my friend from Darwin. While it was a brief trip, it was really great to reconnect with John and explore Australian Capital Territory (ACT) together. Canberra Canberra is the capital of, well, Australian Capital Territory which was my… Read More Australian Capital Territory: Canberra
Hey, everyone! What a fun past few days it has been – highlighted by trips to both Litchfield and Kakadu National Park. Both national parks were gorgeous, but Kakadu was a clear winner for me. Litchfield National Park I met fellow explorer and travel buddy John online and we decided to go to Litchfield National… Read More Kakadu and Litchfield National Park
Hey, everyone! This week has been all about monotremes for me. What is a monotreme, you may ask? A monotreme is a type of mammal… that lays eggs! This includes platypus, short-beaked echidnas, and long-beaked echidnas. Luckily, Australia is home to both platypus and short-beaked echidnas, and I was lucky enough to see both this… Read More Monotremes
Hey, everyone! This whole week has been about my transition from Western Australia to Tasmania. Back in Perth for a few days after Coral Bay, I didn’t have much time left in Perth. It was a weird feeling – I’ve only been in one Australian state since arriving here back in September. Last Days in… Read More From Western Australia to Tasmania
Hey, everyone! This past week I went on a road trip with my travel buddy Mo down to Albany and Margaret River. Both areas were so different and yet very, very special. I have heard a lot about both places, so to finally get to check them out was definitely exciting. Albany Mo and I… Read More Road Trip to Albany and Margaret River
Hey, everyone! After months of anticipation, I was finally able to see Björk perform at Perth Festival in Langley Park. How surreal, to finally have the moment culminate. I also went to Rottnest Island for the (perhaps?) final time. Rottnest Island Farewell Ahead of my final day at work, I booked one last ticket to… Read More Björk at Langley Park
Hey, all! This week we’ve got toucans, barn owls, and more! I really enjoy so many of the illustrations from this week. I think the only negative is that aside from the first two, I started using a different type of paper… and the marker doesn’t absorb as well. It’s only for a little bit… Read More Toucans, Barn Owls, and More: May 7th to May 13th, 2021
Hiya, folks! I hope you’re all having a good day. This week, we’ve got some more checkerboard creatures for ya. Koalas and komodo dragons, puffins and chameleons. They’ve all got checkerboards! I’m not even sure I really addressed the whole checkerboard thing with you yet. I should do that. It’s nothing exciting – I just… Read More Checkerboard Creatures: April 27th to May 6th, 2021
Hello, hello! This week I’ve got some more four-legged creatures for ya. Yahoo! I had a lot of fun figuring out which safari creatures I wanted to illustrate this week, although I think it was kind of hard to top last week’s lioness. So what have we got here? A warthog, bear, coyote, kudu, panda,… Read More Four-legged Creatures: April 17th to April 26th, 2021
Hey, everyone! We’ve got a whole safari this week. I’ve enjoyed working on this series because I really do love wild animals, so being able to draw them is super fun for me. It also feels like a fresh break from all the people I’ve been drawing for so long. Drawing animals helps me to… Read More Safari: April 11th to April 16th, 2021
