No longer using Twitter.
A little test to see if it's worth keeping a limited Twitter presence (my Bluesky account is still tiny). My latest drawing.
Here's my drawing of a Striped Hawkmoth (Hyles livornica) for #MothMay
Now, I know the Venn diagram of people following me for insect drawings and people that enjoy progressive house music are 2 very distinct circles, but nonetheless I've finished a new mix and I'm pleased with it. mixcloud.com/MartynWarren/s…
4 mantises, each more unusual than the last.
Like many, I think now is the right time to leave Twitter. Over the years it has put me in touch with some brilliant, helpful people. But, Musk is awful and I want to do my bit to illegitamize his platform of corruption. I'm in The Better Place now, and I hope to see you there.

Folks, Ben's illustrations ate stunning, and make excellent gifts for wildlife lovers and/or people with eyes...
Reaching for some help here We recently refreshed my site benrotheryillustrator.co.uk Sales have fallen off a cliff right at the time we'd usually be seeing an uptick I appreciate times are lean but I'm wondering, is the site broken or is it just the climate we're in? #Shopsmall
I'm taking on a small number of pupils / mentees for the coming year, I never have more than 10 at any one time and I've had 3 spaces open up so if anyone has or knows of a kid who might want to learn more about drawing / wildlife, drop me a line.

I visited Glastonbury today and, folks, I have never seen a town devoted so single-mindedly to nonsense. Crystals. Healing vibrations. More crystals. Incense. Vibrating crystals. Healing incense. Incensed vibrating crystal healing. Oh, and weed. Loads of weed.
One of the most popular prints on my website is this one of two Yellow-tailed Black Cockatoos, great to know these birds are so well-loved! #birdart #pencildrawing #drawing #wildlifeart

I know you probably don't have mush room in your schedules, but can you help Lauren ID these lovely drawings?
Mushroom experts I need your help! I drew these years ago and only made a note of some of the species. I'm adding labels to a few prints so if you have an idea of what no 2 and 4 are you'd be doing me a huge favour! #mushrooms #mushroomhelp #mushroomspecies

In many ways, this news is unsurprising. Humans have been consistently voting for their downfall for years now.
