I am a naturalist, artist and educator residing in the San Francisco Bay Area. This blog is my means of sharing my paintings, photographs and occasional musings. As such, it’s a motley collection. While most of my postings are animal-related, this blog isn’t constrained to any theme. It’s not designed to further any opinion or ambition other than to share with friends the spinoffs of an eccentric mind and watchful eye.
To view my animal illustration site, visit evanbarbour.com

The comments you leave are priceless to me. I make these things to share with you. Please share alike your own thoughts, art or bank heist plans. Like a jack rabbit, I’m all ears.
Oh, and please consider subscribing to my blog or else checking back here soon.


love, love, love the work: the immediacy, the mythic quality, the luscious/poignant detail. We too easily forget to look around, to realize what we’re part of. Hooray for artists who draw our eye in unexpected ways!!
Dale,
What a generous response! Thank you. How did you come to find my site?

Absolutely echo these sentiments. Your work is bold and beautiful, slimy and soft, wondrously curious and curiously wonderful. Keep on.
Evan, I really enjoyed meeting you, and seeing your work at Mills this weekend. It’s powerful, and important. I love my octopod prints! I will follow your career with interest.
