An illustrator located in Colorado who loves to paint birds of prey, gryphons, and anything related to dreams and nature. I graduated from SCAD-Atlanta with an M.F.A. in illustration, and want to live somewhere with lots of trees, rain, and nice, long winters. My art explores the realms of dreaming and the spirituality of nature.

Autumn! What's been happening--?
a year ago
Wow it really has been over a year since I last posted a journal here. For a quick recap - I took a seasonal job as a deckhand on a wildlife and glacier boat in Alaska for the summer. It was exactly the sort of work I needed: in a cool and rainy summer climate, surrounded by incredible geography and wildlife. I saw a family of falcons (two adults and three juveniles) flying and chasing and dive bombing each other over the fjords. And lots of incredible whale activity!
Now I'm back in Colorado. The past year has been hard as an artist, with AI garbage flooding art spaces, with social media (Twitter I'm looking at you) becoming toxic for artists, and with the general state of...*motions to everything*. It's hard to survive right now! I'm hanging on the best I can, but it's not going great. I'm dealing with a heavy depressive episode that might be a late-30s crisis mixed with the heavy dread that comes with watching the world around you crumble and kick away what last crumbs of joy and ability to survive you once had. Fun!
Anywho, I'll still be active here. FA at least seems pretty stable when it comes to being good to artists. I'm also on Bluesky at https://bsky.app/profile/windfalcon.bsky.social (also I have some invite codes if anyone needs one). It seems like Twitter is quickly spiraling down the toilet so in case it completely implodes, I'm at least on a similar social media site.
