25.01.2022 Here's our #topnine for 2020! Lots of Aussie critters got lots of love from you guys and deservedly so. They're fascinating, diverse and (in true Aussie style) often very cheeky. I'm looking forward to adding new critters to the menagerie in 2021. #handdrawn #originalart #customartwork #pawtrait #australiannativeanimalart #pencildrawing #polychromos #fabercastell #wombat #koala #rainbowlorikeet #sugarglider #quokka #possum #ringtailpossum ##nativebee #nativebirds #dogportrait #jackshundsofinstagram #tokaygecko #sydneyartist #lennypelling #lovethycritter #critterlove

24.01.2022 Personally, I can't wait for this year to finish. It's been pretty shite all round. On the bright side, our critter-filled 2021 calendar has just landed in our shop so you can now start looking ahead to better times. This all Aussie critter calendar is a limited edition of just 170, each hand signed and numbered by me. Last year, we sold out well before Christmas so don't miss out on these very rare critters. Hit the shop now button at the top of our page to grab one for your...self. . . . @handmadecanberra #HandmadeCBR @thehillsupmarket #etsyshop #limitededition #australianbirds #australianwildlife #madeinaustralia #lovethycritter #lennypelling #critterarty See more

23.01.2022 When Queen Sybilla first laid eyes on her regal beau, she thought him the very reddest parrot she had ever seen. As it turned out, King Oberon had just spent a fortnight of sunning himself in Glenelg and was now more sunburn than bird. Fading colour and peeling feet aside, Oberon's majestic bearing won over his Queen and together they rule the lower branches of a red gum on the outskirts of Bathurst, holding court over a flock of nervy finches. . . . #handdrawn #originalart #pencildrawing #fabercastell #polychromos #kingparrot #australianbirds #parrotsofinstagram #kingandqueen #birdsofinstagram #sydneyartist #lennypelling #lovethycritter #critterarty

22.01.2022 I have every confidence that I'll be sound asleep at midnight so I'd better wish you happy new year now I hope you're all safe and well and enjoying something bubbly or delicious to mark the passing of this weird year. Lots of love to you and see you in 2021 #goodbye2020hello2021 #critterarty

22.01.2022 SOLD! Bernadette, the slightly sneezy silvereye will be heading off to her new furever home at the end of the Cultivate exhibition. I'm assured she will be with quite a kindred spirit which makes me even happier to set her free. If you have a lovely corner, bereft of lovely things, head on down to this marvellous show by @foundationandfriends before it finishes.

22.01.2022 At the turn of the season, Gwendolyn hot-footed it (as only a land snail can) to the Burragorang Forest Boutique to check out their fall line of hats and spider silk stockings. For most of her life, Gwennie had dwelt quietly among the rotting logs and fungus on the forest floor, munching through mulch and looking up at the unreachable canopy above. But after a hellish divorce from a centipede named Warren, she felt a new lease on life and was ready to get back ‘out there’ at ...the forest clearing singles mixer. . Lush limited edition prints of Gwendolyn will be available @handmadecanberra #virtualmarket on September 26th . . #handmadecanberra #handmadecbr #handmadevirtual #limitededition #australianwildlife #snail #handmadelove #lennypelling #lovethycritter #critterarty See more

20.01.2022 It's been an eventful 6 months since we transitioned to Critterarty, accompanied by this little lass, in all her orange gorgeousness. And though she hatched from her egg amid chaos and fear, Felicity has brought me nothing but joy (and just a smidge of bird poop). Together, we're continuing to work our way through the lingering effects of COVID and feeling very grateful for all the critter-lovers who have come with us to our new home at critterarty.com ...sniff . . #feelingthelove #critterarty

19.01.2022 While honey bees have a strict hierarchy and a strong work ethic, Sky the blue-banded bee, broke the mould when it comes to achievement. As a girl, she joined environmental protests, buzzing around bulldozer drivers until they ran screaming from worksites bordering vulnerable green corridors. Later, she was elected to the local council on a radical platform of low-density, eco-friendly city planning. Tiny and delicate she may be, but when it comes to battles over parking stat...ions, recycling or hideous high-rise flats, Sky has more than just a sting in her tail. . Lush limited edition prints of Sky will be available @handmadecanberra #virtualmarket on September 26th . . #handmadecanberra #handmadecbr #handmadevirtual #limitededition #australianwildlife #bee #bluebandedbee #handmadelove #lennypelling #lovethycritter #critterarty See more

18.01.2022 I had the great pleasure of capturing gorgeous furbaby, Izzy recently as a leaving present for the lovely Leesa. Izzy is a very talented pup with lots of tricks in her repertoire, a beautiful pink nose and the most adorable sticky-uppy ear No wonder her mum is besotted with her. I still have a couple of spots left for pawtraits this year so if you'd like your pup or puss immortalised, get in touch asap.

18.01.2022 My spirit creature has always been the wombat: up early, lacking a waist, quite hairy in winter and most comfortable in my burrow, where I can quiet my brain and feel cosy and safe. Since COVID hit, this has never been more true, only it’s not the natural inclinations of an introvert, it’s a health recommendation. But what happens when my perfect excuse to be a solitary wombat is no longer there? Check out our latest blog post to find out...grrrrrr!

17.01.2022 What a fabulous launch we've had for the 2021 limited edition critter calendar. With only 170 up for grabs, they are already over 26% sold. Each month features a stunning Aussie critter along with an introductory story, blurring the lines between the human and animal world. . .... #linkinbio #madeinaustralia #handmadelove #shoplocalaustralia #australianwildlife #australianbirds #limitededition #2021calendar #lovethycritter #lennypelling #critterarty See more

16.01.2022 Bernadette is a cheerful puff-ball of pure delight, flitting from tree to tree, a yellowy-green blur catching teeny insects on the wing. Her sweet, peeping call interrupted only to swallow delicious, wriggling critters. That is, until winter makes way to spring in an explosion of sneeze-inducing pollen and strong floral smells. Bernadette has the WORST seasonal allergies of any bird this side of the Blue Mountains, sending her into fits of ‘aaaahhh-chooooos!’ loud enough to s...tartle even the most composed kookaburra. .

16.01.2022 When the world gets loud and suffocating, Abe takes wing and heads off to his favourite watering-hole at Mount Tomah Gardens. Among the rushes and submerged branches, he practises mindfulness (and the occasional bit of whittling) to still his busy, birdy brain. Back in town, at his desk at Brown & Brown Accounting, a post-it flaps in the gentle breeze of the air-conditioning. Gone fishin’ it says in the scratchy scrawl of a bird whose mind is already miles away. . ....

15.01.2022 My goodness, a year has gone by and the whole world has changed since this amazing day doing #etsymadelocalsydney in 2019. Look at those crowds!!! Can you even imagine it now?!? I so hope that this time next year we'll all get to have that fun again. A bit thanks to all the critter-loving customers that have stuck with me this year.

15.01.2022 An early Christmas present from a friend may just be the challenge I need to kick off 2021 with gusto. I personally don't believe there are any 'ugly' animals (with the possible exception of the White Ibis which stole my hotdog at the zoo). #itsbeginningtolookalotlikecrittermas #lovethycritter #critterarty

15.01.2022 This has to be one of the absolute funnest (!!! ) custom critters I've done all year.

11.01.2022 2020 was the year we all really thought about what matters most: toilet paper, streaming services and sourdough starter. But nothing kept us saner or more entertained than our fuzzy friends and feathered visitors. It's time to celebrate them by looking back over a year of custom pawtraits in our 2020 Wall of Fame #customartwork #custommade #handdrawn #originalart #pawtrait #dogportrait #catportrait #petportrait #2020walloffame #lovethycritter #critterarty

10.01.2022 'You are what you eat’, they say, and before Maurice found a rare hive of rainbow honey bees, his plumage had resembled a faded pair of curtains in a 70s era boudoir. His luck in breeding season had been nothing short of disastrously bad, with the ladies passing him over for more vivid examples of birdly good looks. This year, with his secret stash of insect supplements, Maurice is going to shake up the bee-eater world with his rainbow hues, swishing tail streamers and sweet-...scented, rainbow bee breath. Lush limited edition prints of Maurice are now available in our online store #linkinbio . . #handmadelove #limitededition #australianbirds #rainbow #bee #rainbowbeeeater #handmadelove #lennypelling #lovethycritter #critterarty

09.01.2022 With the Cultivate exhibition closing this Sunday, it's time you were properly introduced to this gorgeous woman who is available for 'adoption'by a discerning art-lover. Babs had noticed her first grey feather last Winter, closely followed by two more in Spring. 2020 had been a hard year for all the birds in the understory, with drought, bushfires and a noticeable lack of eligible men (who didn’t find footy more interesting that wine and good conversation) for a fowl in her... middle aged prime. Babs was not ready to trade her luminous plumage for grey just yet, she was determined to stay as colourful on the outside as her rainbow-hued, experimental theatre/degustation-loving interior self. . . #Cultivateexhibition #foundationandfriends @foundationandfriends #royalbotanicgardenssydney @rbgsydney #originalart #handdrawn #pencildrawing #artexhibition #sydneyexhibition #australianbirds #commonbronzewing #brongewing #sydneyartist #lennypelling #lovethycritter #critterarty See more
