Beavers are tough and hard workers; I'm sure this one is just thinking about what a pain the cleanup will be tomorrow.

I drew this for fun after being struck by some inspiration; I don't usually do whole scenes like this, at least not yet, but it was a great exercise. I'd like to work on scenery more in the future.

I'm not really sure whether it makes sense to print it on everyday items, but I do have it up as a poster: https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/4513279653/beaver-versus-tsunami-matte-poster

Inspired by my last piece, this time I've made a funky little display of the wildlife of the Okanagan, which I first visited for the first time last year. Find your favourite species!

And I've also got this up as a shirt, if you want to rep this fascinating region's biodiversity!

Inspired by another one of my cats! Torties have a reputation for being grumpy and particular, and while that's not always true, it can be fun to play with the idea.

I currently have these Tortitude kitties up on a mug on my shop (link in bio), and I've been thinking of adding them to other products too!

Alongside this crow, I have a collection of antifascist stickers featuring common urban animal! At least in North America. Stick these wherever you want to make clear that fascism isn't welcome, which really should be everywhere.

Squirrels are determined and curious, which is a dangerous combination. I love watching them solve problems! So they were a natural choice for another entry in this mischievous animal series.

I've also got this up on my shop on a couple of items! If you want some squirrel power, check it out: https://www.etsy.com/shop/LystrosaurusStudio?search_query=undaunted

This is another little design I made, inspired by my two orange cats - check the next photo to see the original boys!

We foster failed the little one from a farm because he glommed onto our older orange boy, who turned out to be a great surrogate dad. They're the closest I've ever seen two cats!

As with the rest of the art I've shared, I've made this into a sticker you can get, for some more orange cat joy in your life!

Behold, the four seasons of Canada! A slight exaggeration, of course. I enjoyed playing around with the warning-sign style.

I've got this design up as a sticker and a shirt, and if you'd like it on something else, let me know! https://www.etsy.com/shop/LystrosaurusStudio?&search_query=four+seasons

I was trying to draw a realistic fern, gave up, then started drawing anti-realistically and eventually this happened. I quite like how it turned out. It's inspired by the forests of Stanley Park; see if you can identify all the species represented! (Or at least the genera!)

And I've got this up as shirts and a tote bag on my shop! Check them out here: https://www.etsy.com/your/shops/me/tools/listings/query:undergrowth
