Information about the California Whipsnake:
The California Whipsnake – also called the Striped Racer – is a colubrid snake found in a wide range of habitat types including open desert, oak woodland, pine forest, chaparral, and associated open landscapes.
This species is represented by two subspecies: the chaparral whipsnake (M. l. lateralis) and the Alameda whipsnake. These slender snake usually feed on a variety of prey including insects, lizards, snakes, birds, and small mammals, although they tend to favor lizards, which they will grab with their mouths and swallow it whole. This species commonly moves over and through brush and trees in order to avoid predation and to capture prey. The subspecies M. l. euryxanthus is considered threatened by the state of California.

Artist’s notes:
The California Whipsnake was completed on 5.23.2013. I’ve developed some techniques which make getting the scales of a snake – once the bane of my existence each time I picked up a pen to draw one – that makes it much, much easier to get them looking right.
Although with a dark-colored snake like this, it is a little easier to hide inaccuracies in the snake’s anatomy, it is very important to me to make sure the drawing makes sense to the viewer’s eye. The illustration is based on a photo by Jason Butler.

Olive Ridley Sea Turtle – Signed Fine Art Print
Information about the Olive Ridley Sea Turtle:
The Olive Ridley Sea Turtle - also called the Pacific Ridley Sea Turtle - is considered the most abundant sea turtle on the planet. These reptiles get their name from the coloring of their heart-shaped shell, which starts out gray but becomes olive green later in life. There may be more than one million in the world's oceans today. Compared to other sea turtle species adults are relatively small, weighing on average around 100 pounds (45 kg). Olive Ridleys can be seen at nesting sites on beaches all around the planet, generally in tropical and subtropical areas. When the females are getting ready to nest, its believed they use the wind and the tide to help them find the beach. Females will lay about a hundred eggs, and may nest 1-3 times a year. Olive Ridleys are mostly carnivorous, feeding on such creatures as jellyfish as well as small crustaceans such as crabs and shrimp. It is the only living species not considered to be endangered - although it is classified by the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources as vulnerable.The poster is printed on matte, museum-quality paper with Giclée printing quality:
