Short-toed Eagle


Painting for the design for this years Raptor Camp T-shirt for BirdLife Malta. 

See this blog post to find out more about why the Short-toed Eagle was chosen as the face for this years camp.



Tubenoses

Yelkouan shearwater, Scopoli's shearwater and Storm petrel - the three species being studied for the Malta Seabird Project . I've painted these for part of BirdLife Malta's seabird display at the Malta National Aquarium. I managing the seabird blog for the team and sometimes they let me come out and night with the seabirds - which is awesome and definitely my favourite thing I've been doing here in Malta.



Yellows and whites

It's been a while. Here are some butterflies I painted for work, currently I am working for BirdLife Malta, having a great time and learning lots and I've finally found an excuse to do some illustration for them. A butterfly ID section for the new members magazine I'm designing.



Been outdoors too much

So I've not been making much new work, as I've been on a conservation placement with Avon Wildlife Trust. This plus studying for a conservation qualification and unfortunately also having to earn actual money means I've had litte time.

I have instead been sketching wildflowers and taking photos ellabeeson.wordpress.com

Here are a couple of comissions I have managed to do over the past few months though.

Chameleons get the first 3 spots, as they are the most interesting creature ever. They colour change to show mood, vibrate, fake death, swivel their eyes round, grope the air upwards like they want a hug and have the expresions of grumpy old men.

Bowerbird book









Cover and a selections of spreads from the Bowerbird book I made.

Bowerbirds have a taste in art. The males build art galleries (bowers) to display treasures, which they tend obsessively. The females tour these bowers and choose a male to mate with based on an aesthetic decision.

25 birds

My submission for the 25 Black Swan Gallery project, but it developed 
into a book on Bowerbirds. This is me trying to paint really quickly...

Hello Zebra



I just really love how pink and orange look together. Though i think i might be alone in this.
