Today, a personal favorite of small round birds: the wren. Ok, I might be biased as a quite small and increasingly round human, but these little friends rock.
Bubbly and energetic, just like their songs. Look for House Wrens hopping quickly through tangles and low branches and, in spring and summer, frequently pausing to deliver cheerful trilling songs.

I hope you’re having an excellent day. Sending hugs your way.
Cheers, R.
Hello friends, I drew a thing again! It’s been too long! And it’s another small round bird: a warbler. He is very, very pleased to meetcha.
The male Chestnut-sided Warbler sings two song types; one is accented at the end, the other is not. The first is used before the arrival of the females and in the early nesting cycle. The second is used mostly in territory defense while the birds are raising young.
American Bird Conservancy
Males that only sing one song type appear to be less successful at attracting mates than males that sing both songs. The early-season song has a musical quality with an emphatic ending, sometimes interpreted as “very very pleased to meet cha!”

Hello friends! I’ve been terrible at posting lately! How are you? How has your week been? I hope you’re doing well. I’ve been busy trying to plan out what to show and how to show it at an upcoming show in Seattle. Here’s my space having been turned into a staging ground for how to arrange things.
Also I made a Facebook page because that seems like a thing people do when they want to sell things. It’s here if you wanna follow me: https://www.facebook.com/racheladmasart.
Can’t wait to catch up on everyone’s amazing art that I’ve been missing for the last week!
Cheers, R.
Hello friends! I made the wings out of wood and fabric and took the photo with my Rebel K2 (film).
His wings don’t work so great, but he does write very beautiful words that everyone should be lucky enough to read: https://sammart.one/. Thanks for being my model, Sam!

$10 matted prints of anything on my site available for $10 (no extra fees/shipping)!
The first cartoon character I ever loved and related to was Gogo Dodo, from Tiny Toon Adventures. He’s generally wildly joyful and prone to utter surreal nonsense. He creates his own bizarre world full of art and puns and foolishness and it’s beautiful and scary and confusing. Thank you for introducing me to surrealism and being a formative influence on me, Gogo Dodo. Here’s a drawing of what I imagine your skeletal structure to be.
Gogo’s father, Yoyo Dodo, first appeared in the visually fascinating and pretty damn offensive Porky in Wackyland (really aged like milk on the race front) in 1939. Yoyo Dodo was officially the last existing dodo. And Gogo Dodo is his son. Being something that by definition cannot exist is a pretty solid commitment to nonsense if I’ve ever seen one.
If Yoyo and Gogo and my father and I serve as anecdotal evidence, it would seem that gleeful malarkey gets passed down.
Found these soft friends in the Atlanta zoo. They’re buddies.
A lovely alleyway found during travels in China. I think I’d like to live there. It looks quite cozy.
Cheers, R.
Some bits of wires and knobs and slots I found.
Hope you’re having an excellent Wednesday, friends! Cheers, R

Doors are nice. This one happened to be in Antigua, Guatemala.
$10 prints of anything on my site, hand-shipped with love! Contact me.
More trespassing at the abandoned Alabama Insane Hospital. A genuinely historical and spooky place to walk through, fraught with problems and mistreatment of innocent, vulnerable people.
Disclaimer: I know invalid is probably not a cool way to describe a human, but that was the word at the time of the functioning Alabama Insane Hospital.
Happy exploring, all. Cheers, R.
Bicycles in Xian, China.
Would you like a lovely $10 print of this (includes shipping)? Contact me!
Remains after a blessing ritual involving getting smacked repeatedly with leafy branches in Guatemala.
Another self righteous self portrait, cuz I’m a fancy artist, y’all.
Hope your day has been absolutely lovely. Cheers, R.
Wanna buy some $10 prints hand-shipped with love notes from yours truly?
Taken in the Central District in Seattle. What a lovely shop front.

I lived on a boat (31 ft Island Packet named Dragonfly) for a while, and it was perfect and horrible and exciting and boring and mind-blowing and cold. This was a particularly good day.

Pancakes for my best friend’s birthday. She makes such incredible pancakes that she earned the trail name Pancakes when she hiked the 2650 mile long Pacific Crest Trail. She’s an absolute badass mountaineer, baker, crocheter, artist, and human, and she has a fantastic hiking blog that everyone should read.
Bonus: the most perfect cat in the world scoping out my paint water (don’t worry, she didn’t drink any).
Hope you’re having a lovely day and creating and enjoying. Cheers, R.
Ruins of a church found while walking El Camino in Viana, Spain. It’s a spooky feeling, being inside of a massive cathedral that’s missing a roof, most walls, and stained glass.
Some nice windows in Spain for your Sunday afternoon. Cheers, friends.
It’s another small round bird! The chickadee. I like these buddies a whole lot. 10/10, top notch bird. Keep on keeping on, funky hooded friend.
Hello, Friendly Friday! Here’s my Electrical submission.
A warning, straight lines, and straight grime found in a station in Xian, China (or maybe Beijing? I can’t remember…).
Hope you’re having a fantastic Tuesday, friends.
Another tiny round bird (to follow the golden-crown kinglet and junco)! Bushtits are very noisy and chattery small friends. They have a lot to talk about I guess. Like cracking jokes about their fantastic name. To protect their dignity, I guess I’ll mention that the “tit” part comes from the Old Icelandic “titr” meaning something small. They also weave fancy hanging nests.
10/10 top notch bird.
Shout out to my mom, who loves the bushtit and taught me to identify it (even if I can’t quite draw it right). Except I keep pretending that I don’t recognize what type of bird it is just to get a chuckle from my lovely, excitable mom saying “bushtit” over and over. Hi mom, I love you.
