Its I will try matching my illustrations with prompts provided for the entire month. Today's prompt is 'Earthly' and here is a panel of Cory catfishes. They are bottom dwellers and fit the prompt well I guess!

Sharing an old piece for an ashy storm petrel. In 2005 I interned with seabird biologists, spending a few nights on Scorpion Rock helping to catch and band a few birds. They're extremely rare and only nest in sea caves on the islands.

It’s day two! The prompt is “little-known”, and I’ve just illustration for that. Most people hear “arachnid” and think “spider”, but DYK there are a whole bunch of arachnid orders? Here are just a few of the weird arachnids you might not know about!

Saw this art challenge popping up on my feed and wanted to join 😁

1: Earthly
Immediately thought of termite mounds cause they’re super cool ventilated structures, and they can be really old (I.e. 1000+ years old)

When I found this Pacific rock crab on the beach years ago, I was drawn to the pinkish hue the shell had taken on after fading and getting tossed in the waves. So it seems like a great fit for the “rosy” prompt! 🦀

Day three of and today's prompt is 'Rosy'. Couldn't find a perfect match for the theme but here is my clown fish illustration that somewhat fits the theme!
