I’ve spent a LOT of time recently on a risograph baby bird print, but honestly I don’t think it’ll be that popular. the babies look like rainbow meat. they looked like chewed gum. it’s just awful. and it’s not an error on my end, I got embarrassed opening the reference photos in public because they look like gore. these tiny hideous baby birds, all grotesque and swollen and transparent. they’re a cruel joke that nature keeps playing on the world, over and over, and I feel like we’re the punchline because we have to look at these things with our human eyes.

OKAY, HERE THEY ARE:

these are all species (mostly finches!!) that have inner beak patterns as babies, to help their parents recognize them. it’s thought to be a defence against nest parasites like cuckoos

so you can see, the drawings do not remotely exaggerate. they just look like that

if you like the print, you can grab a copy at greerstothers.shop. they’re risographs, so no two are exactly alike!

This wolf in British Columbia took a break from eating herring roe to investigate a half-submerged object: the photographer’s camera
