Dusky Salamander (Desmognathus fuscus)
Some salamanders are super cool looking, and are covered in awesome bright colours and fun patterns. Others are not, and today’s animal is one of those poor unfortunate amphibians that simply looks...

I definitely chose today’s animal for its looks. I was out of the country for the past two weeks for work, and couldn’t bring much with me. So I grabbed my smallest sketchbook and brought only one pen...
View ArticleRed-eyed Tree Frog (Agalychnis callidryas)
I picked today’s animal mostly based on its looks — colourful animals are just really fun to draw. Apparently my past self felt the same way as well, because I have a painting of a red-eyed tree frog I...
