I got this done on my livestream on Monday. It’s a Red-Tailed Hawk.

You can watch the livestream recording of when I made it here: https://makertube.net/w/16rRjm5tRFwG6QHX7PRPe1

• Artist Links: https://coreyartusimageryinfo.carrd.co/

I do all my work by hand in Procreate on my iPad Pro. This image took 4074 strokes of my Apple Pencil, and 2 hrs 52 min to complete. #Humanmade

I would offer the link to my storefront to buy it as a greeting card in the US, but that platform is shutting down. I will be consolidating my storefront and my website into a single entity this coming weekend, Feb 28-29, 2026. More to come on that.

Illustration of a Red-Tailed Hawk, perched on a branch. Behind the bird is a pale blue paper texture that’s lighter at the top and darker at the bottom. Surrounding the hawk is a bokeh lighting effect in golds and yellows, as well as a halo of white light.

I went to the Redwood Art Association today to pick up my two pieces I’d submitted for this last month’s show.

I got there, and one of them had sold.

I was floored. This is the fourth time I’ve sold a piece through that member-run gallery. Each time I have to pinch myself to remind me that it’s real, that something that came from my heart and my hand actually connected with someone so much that they bought my work.

It’s a heady, thrilling, validating experience. It ensures me that I’m on the right path.

A realistic Crayola marker drawing in a sketchbook of (what I believe is) a blue and orange flycatcher resting on a branch. It's feathers are a vibrant blue with a bright orange chest. The background is a blurry green and yellow with bokeh textures. Some of the markers used lay next to the artwork.

This is what a mistle thrush nest looks like. Text and painting by Susan Ogilvy, from her beautiful book "Nests"

Right-hand page has a detailed, hand-drawn colour painting of a mistle thrush nest, shaped like a small hill with a hollow. Left-hand page has the following text:
MISTLE THRUSH. Turdus viscivorus. Resident.
Lifespan: 3–5 years, although 11 years has been recorded.
Diet: Insects in summer; apples; berries, especially mistletoe and yew, in winter.
Breeding season: February–May.
Broods: 1–2 clutches of 3–5 eggs.
Position: Usually quite high in a forked branch of a tree or in open barns and sheds.
Materials: Fine grasses, stems, twigs, an inner core of mud.
Lining: Fine grasses.
The name of the mistle thrush is thought to derive from the favourite food of this bird, which is responsible for much of mistletoe's spread through excretion, and also from wiping the plant's sticky juices off its beak onto tree branches. It is also known as the missel thrush, storm cock and mistletoe thrush, among other local names.
Mistle thrushes are early nesters, starting to build in February and rearing one or two broods. The nests are built by the female, usually in trees and at varying heights. They are bulky, untidy structures of fine grasses, stems and twigs, cemented by an inner core of mud, and are fearlessly defended by the adult birds. Incubation of 12–15 days starts on completion of the clutch, and the young are tended by both parents for 12–16 days before they fly at 20 days.
This wonderful nest was found on a rafter in a small, open-fronted brick shed belonging to neighbours... — Right-hand page has a detailed, hand-drawn colour painting of a mistle thrush nest, shaped like a small hill with a hollow.

Every morning now a mistle thrush (Turdus viscivorus) outside the window collects lichen, moss, and twigs like it's the last day of sales.

Today she had a tug-of-war with a string of living ivy that lasted a good 20 seconds. She won.

It's glorious to watch.

I finished this piece on my livestream earlier this week. It's a Night Heron.

It was suggested to me as a subject by a patron to my booth this last year. They're pretty common here in the area I live because there's a lot of marshes and we're along the Redwood Coast in northern California.

I'd never heard of Night Herons before. In my head, they were creep and scary. But when I finally saw a picture of one, they were the cutest little hunched over things I'd seen! They reminded me of plushie toys for some reason. So cute!

So here in my Night Heron in phone wallpaper form. I do all my work in Procreate on my iPad Pro, and this piece took 3868 strokes of my Apple pencil and 2hr34min to make.

Here's the speedpaint: https://makertube.net/w/rvdZaAbnGYrEnL3NAWqcj3

And here's the greeting card listing on my Goimagine shop (unfortunately I can only do US sales): https://goimagine.com/night-heron-single-bird-greeting-card-5x7-with-envelope/

Here are my artist links: https://coreyartusimageryinfo.carrd.co/

And my website: https://www.coreyartusimagery.com/

Enjoy!
