Feast your eyes on this fabulous feast as our gentle geriatric residents enjoy a bountiful breakfast in full 360 video. Watch till the end to see an accidental once-in-lifetime view from inside a tortoise shell.
Blue-footed boobies are, uh…they’re seabirds, and, um… Shit, don’t pretend you don’t know. You know. I know. We all know! Boobies! God damn it! GOD DAMN IT.

Galapagos Islands (endemic)//Vulnerable//Squamata//image source
Fun Fact: Marine iguanas can dive up to 30 feet deep. They are the only lizards to spend much of their time in the ocean.
Look at those extra brilliant blue feet— what a hunk!
Blue-footed boobies (Sula nebouxii), common in the Galapagos Islands and other warm coastal areas of the Pacific, can catch flying fish in mid-air. Their blue feet are for fashion AND function. Male and female boobies wave their feet about in elaborate courtship displays and dances. Bluer feet mean a healthier bird and a better parent.

A very loose map of the Galapagos Islands… definitely a fun one to draw. Recent cover for Longitude Books’ 2018 catalog.

Here’s two gouache/colored pencil paintings I did of some galapagos animals. The project was supposed to be that I make my mom a simple bookmark for her birthday. But it sort of became something more so I ended up framing the originals for my parents and giving my mom a bookmark with some prints inside. First time trying some colored pencil over gouache too. It was fun! I’d do it again. I also posted some process work.
For the starfish image, that was an actual location we came across while snorkling. Empty sea bed as far as the eye could see except for one starfish resting every meter or so. Pretty amazing.

Fueling station on Baltra, galapagos, 10am. About 10 min into this piece our boat moved up to the station to get fuel, so all I had to go on was my layout and the colors and values around me. Not ideal, but I think I did okay considering!
