Working on a new mini print, homage to a preschool’s class tortoise. My first attempt at carving rubber, which is honestly more difficult than linoleum or woodblock
Loosely based on a preschool’s classroom tortoise, with a dog faced butterfly and appropriately printed on yellow construction paper.
I ain’t even from America, but people absolutely deserve to see this. I’m sick of people in higher power trying to kill off the environment and lower classes just for their cockamamie schemes and bottom line.
PLEASE READ!!! I DON'T POST STUFF LIKE THIS AND THIS IS SERIOUS TO ME! ELON MUSK IS TRYING TO DUMP THOUSANDS OF GALLONS OF WASTE WATER INTO THE LAGUNA MADRE IN SOUTH TEXAS!!!
The Laguna Madre is a beautiful ecosystem that houses so many species of wild life and many migratory species of shore birds go there to eat and rest. Its all thanks to the sea grass that grows there, and after the big freeze of Texas in 2021, it is slowly making its recovery and now it's in danger again!
(Black Skimmer with chicks shown here)
If Elon continues with this disguising act, nitrogen and hydrogen rich waste will be dumped and plankton and algae will begin to overpopulate and create a cloud of themselves over the sea grass causing it to not get the sunlight it needs to photosynthesize. It will basically be suffocated by the overpopulation of microorganisms and die out and so many species of animals will lose that shelter they need to feed, breed and even escape dangers like predators. This grass also feeds the endangered green sea turtle and was even given the name "Turtle Grass" for its huge importance to these creatures.
(Green Sea Turtle grazing) Not only that, but the South Padre Island is one of the largest ports in America and has many shrimping and fishing companies that rely on the environment to make a minimum wage. And once the water gets polluted, so many people can get sick or worse if they eat the fish and shrimp that have been exposed to it!
(South Texas Shrimping Boats) This is serious! And if you or someone you know lives in Texas there is a way you can make a comment and state how you DON'T WANT LITERAL SLUDGE IN THE OCEAN! IT WILL HURT THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE AND ANIMALS AND THE VAST AND DIVERSE ECOSYTEM THEY LIVE IN!

PLEASE DO WHAT YOU CAN! WE CAN'T LET MUSK DO THIS!!!
Today I feel like a Palea Steindachneri.
Do you ever feel like a wattle-necked softshell turtle (Palea steindachneri)? You are not alone. Found in parts of Southeastern China and Vietnam, this rare reptile’s carapace, or shell, can grow up to 17 in (43.2 cm) long. It inhabits freshwater pools and feeds on fish, insects, and small invertebrates. Unfortunately, this species is critically endangered and is threatened due in part to habitat degradation and being hunted for the food trade.

LOOK AT YHE CHILDREN <3
Got some first drawing of my AU. Well- the little version of them.
These guys are gonna be in the Turtle Tots competition assuming we get in. A slightly aged up version of them at least. Here’s the first go of their older versions.
Mikey is an Eastern Box Turtle and Donnie is a Burmese Soft Shell. I’m still working on Raph and Leo as well as the fifth Little Guy.
Saddest thing ever is reading an academic paper about a threatened or declining species where you can tell the author is really trying to come up with ways the animal could hypothetically be useful to humans in a desperate attempt to get someone to care. Nobody gives a shit about the animals that “don’t affect” us and it seriously breaks my heart
trying to decide if i'd rather be a tortoise or a turtle. on the one hand I prefer dry land, on the other hand turtles can breathe out of their cloacae so. it's tricky
Went to the beach with a friend and got HENA TATTOOS 😆😆
I SAW THE AUTOBOT ONE AND A DECEPTION ONE TOO

Drew that last January lmao, but that won't stop me from posting pride stuff
Hey, Tumblr! I'm not sure how many of you know Torey (torey-joseph.tumblr.com), but, he's honestly one of the nicest people I have ever met; a totally cool guy, and a great friend. I found out that his favourite animals are sea turtles and giraffes, so, I drew these for him, and for all of you! Also, I drew an awkward little owl! I hope you enjoy =]
