I’m gonna have to accept my brain may always be soup at this point. But it beats feeling tortured all the time?

Anyway, pointless tattoo plotting. For myself. I don’t think it’s wise to consider what is basically an upper arm sleeve for my first, but it’s fantasy land if it’s just in the sketchbook and honestly? Anything to kick at the art block.

It’s all birds: blue Jay and Baltimore oriole, with fresh spring green ash leaves and an autumnal red oak. And maybe a hexagon in there somewhere, I can’t sort that out.

Anyway, this would encapsulate a lot of my favorite things in one go. All that’s missing is bugs! And a loon and pines, but that’s going on the other arm!

Maybe it’s futile to say this, but this humble scribble is for my use only.

#sketchbook #birds #wings #blue Jay #Baltimore oriole #favorite colors seasons trees etc all checked!#I had some wholesome moments with my parents when we went looking for orioles around my birthday this year #we found several so I’m giving them more positive associations #also they’re orange and beautiful what’s not to love?#green ash as a sad tribute to an icon I’ve resonated with since I was very young #red oak because blue jays and your stereotypical symbol of strength and perseverance #always loved the intelligence and beauty of blue jays I think they may have been my spark bird at a very young age #a messy sketch but it’s better than a whole lot of nothing #y’all I don’t even know where to begin with which bugs and where!#im getting ahead of myself #as usual!
