"All this he saw, for one moment breathless and intense, vivid on the morning sky; and still, as he looked, he lived; and still, as he lived, he wondered."

2020 Advent Calendar [12] – HatchlingMakes

Tasha, a.k.a. HatchlingMakes, is a British artist particularly active in supporting wildlife conservation causes. 10% of every order you make from her is donated to a wildlife conservation cause and on her website you can find details on the cause of the month, alongside a history of all the causes she has helped. Instagram here, relevant links here. An artist really worth supporting. The recommended dates for ordering were earlier than December, this year, so you might have issues if you’re just ordering now, but it’s still worth it, even if it arrives late. She’s closing for Christmas in two days: hurry up!

I’m particularly fond of the Happy Howlidays card and the Conservation Crate idea (see the Tiger here), but the tapir sticker sheet is also lovely.

I warned you I would try and do a sort of Advent Calendar recommending you an indipendent artist and illustrator each day till Christmas: I’m not making any promises, let’s see if I can keep this up.
