This online shop won't be monitored between the 21st and the 27th of December.
The last day I can post within the Republic of Ireland to hope for delivery before Christmas is the 20th of December.
After that, you can still place orders, but they'll be posted after I return.

If you'd like to buy a drawing of a particular species from me, but you don't see it in my shop, please ask if I have it.
I have dozens of drawings in my filing cabinet, most of them are part of various large commissions
(I usually draw species separately and combine them on my computer when designing the final artwork, together with the text, if required),
so there's always a chance I might have exactly what you need :)

Intricate pen drawing of a pygmy shrew

June 29, 2024

In a world obsessed with grandiosity, it’s easy to overlook the minuscule marvels right under our noses—or, in this case, at the tip of our pens. 

Did you know that pygmy shrew (Sorex minutus) is Ireland’s smallest mammal, measuring only between 4.5 and 6 cm in length, with a tail that can be as long as 5 cm?
It eats one and a quarter times its body weight and feeds every 1 to 3 hours, mostly on spiders and woodlice (what a great helper for those who are not fans of spiders!).

This pen drawing of a cute pygmy shrew was created for a biodiversity and heritage panel for Timahoe, a village in County Laois, Ireland.
