10X

[tondelayo]

mandy_moon's amazing series of the species of the geological timescale has inspired me to get off my butt and start my own long-delayed series. So, here is the first painting in 10X: A closer look at my new home-- Pennsylvania's flora and fauna illustrated at 10X scale.

Oh, neat! I'm glad to have helped :)

Also, I'm a little surprised and interested in the minor differences of flora and faunae in PA versus New England. you'd think both environments are roughly the same, but I've only seen a stinkbug here once or twice. What is it about Philly that is so much more attractive to the bugs? Slightly warmed weather?

Technically Philly is in the subtropics, and I definitely noticed a difference in the winters from New England! The stinkbug infestation is apparently new within the past few years and the stinkbugs are spreading fast.

I can't wait to see a 10X illustration of a moose!

The problem of larger wildlife briefly crossed my mind when I invented this project, but I quickly dismissed it and decided I'd deal with it later. Groundhog will be hard enough.

If you paint a 10X groundhog I will pay for it and display it proudly in my tiny home
