Shepherd of the Lambs

Bearded Vultures face a majority of threats, including a habitat loss and like the majority of old world vultures, secondary poisoning (though occasionally its done on purpose, see India and Africa vulture crisis). These vultures are also targeted by shepherds and farmers who see them as threats to their livestock, namely lambs. The population in the Alps has been driven to extinction due to this misconception (vultures do not actively hunt, despite this bird’s large size and intimidating appearance, it is purely a scavenger), and there’s currently efforts to reintroduce the birds back into the Alps. 

This will hopefully end up becoming a screenprint, which means that colors and registration will be different than the digital version. I believe it’s around 15 layers? It will be a big one. 

Thanks you  @shadowtriads for the idea ^^

Take the pain
Make it billboard big and swallow it for me
Time capsule for the future
Trust me, that’s what I will be
Oh, the things that you do in the name of what you love
You are doomed but just enough
You are doomed but just enough

Mock-up for another screenprint, revolving around the extinction of Hawaiian honey creepers. Backgrounds gonna use a bunch of gold metallics.

Bird no. 320. The Worrier.
.
These are all very real questions that I have asked, and there are tons more where they came from.
.
I’m working on discerning the difference between worries that prepare me for success in uncertainty, and worries that are fruitless.
.
Its a bumpy ride, isn’t it? 🤣
.
Until I figure it out, I’m glad to have a friend who always seems to see straight through it. Thank you ❤️ (at Montreal, Quebec)

Bird no. 339. Where is home?
.
I’ve really struggled this year, feeling like I have no home to come back to, not knowing what the next move will be.
.
I haven’t seen most of my family in a very long time, and we are together this weekend to celebrate my little cousin’s wedding. The house is filled with wine and laughter and stories and it’s just such a pleasure to see everyone.
.
It’s been a long time since I’ve felt taken care of, seen, and deeply understood, and it is such a welcome relief from my own stewardship of myself 😂
.
As soon as I walked in the door I felt it.
.
I’ve never been to Spirit River before in my life, but I somehow feel like I’m home. Weird, right? “Home” is so much more complex than simply somewhere you’ve spent your time.

What makes you feel like you are home? (at Spirit River, Alberta)
