Hey, so it’s been a while, I hardly use tumblr anymore, I’m mainly using twitter nowadays. 

Anyway, here’s something I’ve been making since late January. It’s just a little homage to the original Cosgrove hall series from the late 80s/ early 90s. I Hope you all enjoy! And good night out there…. whatever you are!

Yellow Footed Rock Wallaby (Petrogale xanthropus) - 

Adapted for life on the dry, rocky outcrops of Southern Australia and South New Wales, this small, tri-colored wallaby only stands about 2 feet tall.  Their long tails and large, gripping feet make them excellent at jumping and maneuvering their rocky homes.

These little marsupials used to run the hills of Australia.  But due to pelt hunting and overpopulation of foxes and goats, they have been pushed to the southern regions of Australia.  A large part of their population is in protected and private land.  However since wallabies and kangaroos have the ability to freeze pregnancy, they can always be carrying young.  They also have food that is harder to reach for other grazers, so their numbers are hovering.  Currently, they are listed as vulnerable.

Finally, I’m revealing my entries for this year’s @swimonzine Swim On 8: Offshore! I was pleased to read the notifications about how many participated and donated through purchasing this beautiful zine.

Time for the reveal:

THE BLUNTNOSE SIXGILL SHARK It is a stout shark with six gill slits who (surprise surprise!) has a short blunt nose. This shark is also sluggish, but a very strong swimmer. It is capable of boosting its speed for stalking and catching prey using its powerful tail. Its favourite meals are: fish, rays and squids. Despite its massive size, this species is rather hamless to humans, unless provoked. Unfortunately, not only endangered because it is often bycatch, but also because its popularity as a sport fish has depleted these beautiful creatures in many areas.
