The other day I was looking for illustrations of beaver ponds and found this in a tweet from east Multnomah water and soil conservation district.
Beaver ponds help water and wildlife in a variety of ways! The ponds help clean, cool and slow water, and create habitat & food for insects, amphibians, birds and more! See more details in the replies to this thread! Illustration by our own Jon Wagner. #beavers #wildlife
I like these images very much so of course i looked him up. It turns out that when they say ‘one of our own’ they aren’t kidding. Jon Wagner is a freelance illustrator that also happens to work for the water and soil district – because, Portland. There’s a lot going on in this image. Lets take a closer look, shall we?
Hmmm I wonder if Mr. Wagner has ever done any urban beaver drawings, you know like the community gathering around to watch and the wildlife showing up near a concrete channel like we saw here in Martinez?
Excuse me, I have an email to send.
